2016年，河南网络设施建设稳步推进，跨境电子商务快速发展，网络文化产品日趋丰富，文化科技融合日益紧密，国家大数据综合试验区获批，互联网在经济社会各个领域的渗透越来越深。但对互联网文化产业认识不足、网络文化生产相对落后、缺乏龙头型文化商务网站、电子商务平台建设滞后、网络人才供应严重不足等问题仍严重制约着河南网络文化产业的发展。河南应加强培养互联网思维、制定网络优惠政策、提高网络文化产品供给能力、扶持相关产业发展、制定人才振兴计划、强化品牌培育，以实现中共河南省委十次党代会提出的建设网络经济强省的目标。
2016 saw a steady progress in the network infrastructure and a fast development in cross-border e-commerce. In this year，the internet cultural products became more and more various，culture and science and technology were increasingly integrated，the comprehensive test area of the national big data in Henan Province was ratified，and the internet was used more and more deeply in all fields of social economy. However，there are still some aspects waiting us to improve，for example，we haven’t accumulated enough knowledge on internet cultural industry，with which our internet cultural production is relatively lagged behind，we lack of leading cultural commerce websites，we can’t keep up our e-commerce platform construction with the latest development and we are faced with the serious shortage of talents，all of which are the obstacles keeping our internet cultural industry from developing well.
