In the self-doubt in which expectations are not realized, the uncertainty of the future once again becomes the core of market anxiety, and this anxiety finally leads to the market's negative and cautious investment in IT.

Under the domestic and foreign difficulties, the science and technology field experienced the weakest year in nearly 20 years in 2023, and all previous successes lost their value.
