At the conference, Chaoyang District released its “14th Five-Year” development strategy, policies for enterprise internationalization, and the “Science and Technology Hundred Parks” construction initiative. Beijing Chaoyang Development Co., Ltd., and the Chaoyang Industry Technology Transformation Institute were unveiled, and services were precisely delivered to key enterprise representatives. A sail-off ceremony for key enterprises was also held, injecting strong momentum into enterprise development in Chaoyang.

On the same day, representatives from headquarters of central state-owned enterprises, foreign-invested companies, and private tech enterprises shared their experiences and outlooks for development in Chaoyang. Several key enterprises also shared their development insights and future expectations via video.

Looking back at the “14th Five-Year Plan,” Chaoyang District activated dual engines of business and technology, with industries moving towards new directions and quality of development improving. GDP has consecutively reached two new trillion-yuan milestones, expected to hit 966.85 billion yuan in 2025. The financial industry remains the primary pillar, accounting for over one-fifth of the city’s total industry value added. Information services have risen to become the second-largest industry. The added value of finance, information, leasing and business services, real estate, and wholesale and retail industries all exceeded 100 billion yuan, demonstrating stronger economic momentum and resilience.

Over the past five years, Chaoyang District has built an internationally leading business environment, attracting top talent and fostering outstanding enterprises. Central and state-owned enterprises have demonstrated their role as “ballast stones” in serving national and capital strategies. Private enterprises have shown continuous innovation vitality, and confidence among foreign-invested companies in deepening development has grown stronger. The number of regional headquarters of multinational companies reached 177, and listed companies numbered 146. The district’s 377,000 market entities have created a vibrant scene of “a hundred flowers blooming in spring.”

During the “14th Five-Year” period, Chaoyang District will continue to optimize an internationally first-class business environment and create a “Beijing Service” model in Chaoyang. On one hand, it will accelerate the release of industrial space advantages within the district, emphasizing leading roles of top enterprises, urban-rural linkage, and regional coordination. Focus will be placed on enhancing the guiding role of key functional zones such as CBD, Chaoyang Park, and the Olympic Center Area, as well as improving rural development levels through “one village, one product.” The district aims to accelerate the formation of a new pattern of industrial space development that promotes urban development through industry, industry through urban development, and integrated urban-industry growth. On the other hand, efforts will be made to improve enterprise services by refining industrial policies, expanding financial service networks, optimizing enterprise cultivation systems, and promoting the “efficient handling of one matter” reform. These measures will facilitate policy benefits such as immediate application and direct access, further strengthening resource integration and service efficiency. Special focus will be on high-level “bringing in” and “going out” services for enterprises, leveraging the construction of an international legal and commercial demonstration zone to attract top international commercial arbitration institutions, foreign-related legal service platforms, and intellectual property protection centers, providing strong legal support and smooth rule matching for enterprises participating in global competition.
