The 82 overseas professional qualifications cover 10 key sectors in Beijing’s development of the "Two Zones", such as finance, education, architecture and engineering services, science and technology services, and medical and health services. The certificates are officially issued by institutions in the US, UK, Germany, France, Singapore and other countries and regions, as well as international organizations and well-known trade associations in Europe, America, Asia, and Oceania.

Beijing will implement "3+2+1" policies to support professionals who hold these qualifications. The Catalogue relays an important signal to the world that Beijing is in urgent need of international professionals for the development of the "Two Zones" and that these professionals are encouraged to work in the city. It also provides guidance to employers in their global hunting for professionals.
