Future Science City

english.beijing.gov.cn

The Future Science City is located in the south of Changping District, Beijing, covering a total area of 170.6 square kilometers. Its boundaries extend from the Sixth Ring Road to the north to Huinan North Road to the south, the Jingxin (Beijing–Urumqi) Expressway to the west, and the Beijing–Chengde Expressway to the east. In terms of spatial planning, Future Science City features a "two zones and one core" layout across the southern Changping Plain. The eastern and western zones serve as the primary functional areas, designed as well-equipped, livable, and business-friendly research and innovation communities. The "core" serves as an ecological green heart linking the two zones, jointly shaping an integrated landscape of blue and green spaces where water and urban development coexist in harmony.

The Future Science City centers on an innovation framework known as "two valleys and one park". The Changping Bio brings together more than 10 top-tier R&D institutions, including the Changping Laboratory, attracting a cohort of strategic scientists and over 300 high-level professionals, and hosts more than 800 innovative enterprises in the biopharmaceutical and health sectors, which demonstrate pronounced strengths in areas such as new drug development, medical devices, and precision healthcare services.

The Energy Valley, one of China's most concentrated hubs of energy innovation resources, is home to over 300 energy-related enterprises. It has initially formed three major development tracks: a high-growth track of energy internet, a mature track encompassing clean and efficient utilization of fossil energy and wind and photovoltaic power, and a frontier track comprising hydrogen energy, energy storage, and carbon capture and sequestration. Together, these have given rise to a near-complete industrial chain encompassing R&D, pilot testing, manufacturing, sales, and trading services in the new energy sector.
The Higher Education Park has been positioned by the Beijing Municipal Committee of the CPC and the municipal government as a world-class higher education cluster. It has now gathered eight universities, including Beihang University and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, along with 120 national- and provincial-level key laboratories, and a student population of approximately 60,000. The park is home to Beijing's first multi-university joint concept validation center, supporting the development of the Shahe Higher Education Park innovation ecosystem. Dedicated funds for concept validation and technology commercialization have been established, forming a full-chain service system that spans achievement discovery, university-industry collaboration, concept validation, financial empowerment, and incubation and acceleration.

Looking ahead, the Future Science City will firmly align with its role as a hub-level core platform in Beijing's construction of an International Center for Science and Technology Innovation, with the goal of becoming a globally leading hub for technological innovation. Efforts will continue to focus on the "two valleys and one park", with clearly defined functional positioning, improved institutional mechanisms, and strengthened policy support gradually enhanced for each. Specifically, the eastern zone will serve as a strategic pillar for the energy industry, advancing the development of an internationally influential Energy Valley; the Life Science Park will act as a catalyst for the biopharmaceutical and health industry, building a globally leading Bio Park; and the Shahe Higher Education Park will be developed into a new city integrating education, science, and industry, anchored in universities and driven by a fully integrated innovation system combining industry, academia, research, and application.
