Beijing’s Zhongguancun International Innovation Center was officially launched last year and has since become a key global hub for tech innovation and exchange, hosting international conferences, technology forums, and industry events.
In late March, the Zhongguancun Forum took place at the center, drawing over 23,000 participants. The event was characterized by efficient organization, providing participants with well-coordinated experiences.
The center has also served as the venue for other notable events, including the 2024 Cross-Strait Youth Summit, the Third Belt and Road High-Level Conference on Intellectual Property, and the 27th Beijing-Hong Kong Economic Cooperation Symposium. These gatherings highlight the center’s role in facilitating exchange and progress in economic and tech sectors.
During a recent high-level meeting held in the center, Beijing announced plans to boost technological innovation and industry development. The goals include establishing 10 industry parks, commercializing at least 600 technological achievements, and increasing the value of core AI industry to over 500 billion yuan (US$69 billion) within the year.
Throughout the past year, technology companies have unveiled breakthroughs at the center, with events like Huawei’s Kunpeng Ascend Developer Conference, HarmonyOS Connect Partner Summit, and the Baidu Cloud Intelligence Conference showcasing developments in their respective domains.
As a global platform, Zhongguancun International Innovation Center will continue to provide a space for introducing new technologies, encouraging international cooperation, and promoting discussions on innovation and technological development.
