As science and technology make their mark, Beijing, a city famous for its ancient heritage while full of vitality, is looking to develop new quality productive forces by staying ahead of the curve of future industries. The Beijing Municipal Science & Technology Commission and Administrative Commission of Zhongguancun Science Park recently teamed up with the Publicity Department of the CPC Beijing Municipal Committee to launch a large-scale themed interview series titled "New Quality Productive Forces in Beijing", with plans to jointly publish a "New Quality Productive Forces in Beijing" themed special feature analyzing the new technologies, models, and forms of business emerging in Beijing as the capital harnesses future industries to create a better world.

The release of Emu3, a native multimodal world model notable for its unified understanding and video, images and text generation ability, has been hailed as a pioneering creation close to multimodal AGI. This latest achievement was announced recently by the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI).

A super "magnifying glass" 1 trillion times brighter than the sun and capable of emitting the brightest synchrotron radiation light is under construction in Huairou Science City. Things that used to be exclusive to science fiction are now gradually becoming a reality. Check out the "New Quality Productive Forces in Beijing" and take a peek at the magical realm of future industries, where an exciting future is taking shape.

Competition in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector is fierce with all players striving to create a better future! "Galbot" is busy serving food and drinks while the robot "Tiangong" runs like a human. The world's first general intelligent girl, "Tong Tong", is still growing… As AI technologies arm every industry with a super-intelligent brain, we get another step closer to a future that is more intelligent than we could ever imagine.

Metaverse is on a roll! This innovative means allows you to wander through SOLANA, dream your way into the magnificent Tang Dynasty, and listen to the echo of history as you take a stroll along the Beijing Central Axis…all in the virtual world. The real world is being seamlessly integrated into the virtual realm to bring to life unimaginable surprises and infinite possibilities.

Intelligent inventionsmaketravelsmarter and faster! Autonomous passenger vehicles make sure you catch your flight.Unmanned delivery vehicles quickly sort and deliver packages to your doorstep.Self-driving sanitation vehicles clean the city day and night.Autonomous trucks roll up and down the highways in endless convoys…Intelligent cars drive us down intelligent roadstowards a city of technologies.

The"rockets in the south" and the "satellites in the north"shine in space! Rockets carrying satellites take off from thelaunchpadandsoar into the vast sky!Gaze upon theconstellations and feel the cosmic romance of Beijing's tech community!

We are witnesses of a journey to the future led byfuture industriesdragging us unremittingly forward into abetternew world.

"New Quality Productive Forces in Beijing"will explainthe multiple logics of the development of future industriesand show how Beijing accelerates the release of "factor dividend"for innovation-driven development.

The top-level design here provides the strong support needed for future industries to grow.

With the issuance and implementation of the Plan to Promote the Innovative Development of Future Industries of Beijing Municipality to the release of the Construction Plan for Zhongguancun as a World-Leading Science and Technology Park (2024-2027), and the introduction of more than 30 policies for general AI, 6G, and metaverse, among other fields, the foundation has been laid for the accelerated cultivation of new quality productive forces in future industries.

The industrial layout is driving the development of future industries, opening up new fields and tracks for exploration.

Beijing is targeting six major future fields – information, health, manufacturing, energy, materials, and space – and 20 specific industrial orientations as part of efforts to create an innovative hub for the development of future industries. Emphasis will be placed on developing the future manufacturing of humanoid robots and intelligent transport vehicles, as well as the future information sectors of general AI, 6G, metaverse, quantum information, and optoelectronics... The goal is to attract innovative entities with international influence and discursive power to form new future industry clusters leading the development of future industries worldwide by 2035. 

The innovative measures implemented here will help build momentum and empower the rapid development of future industries.

A robust ecosystem for innovation and entrepreneurship continuously stimulates the vitality of the growth of future industries. The pilot reform of "pay after use" for scientific and technological achievements has been proven successful, making small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) dynamic sources for the development of new quality productive forces. Concept testing and common technology platforms, industry alliances and associations, and thousands of professional service organizations specializing in services related to laws and intellectual property rights have stepped up to support the development of future industries and provide the impetus for the new quality productive forces. 

Eight major actions are being taken here to build an ecosystem for healthy development of future industries.

The eight major actions are organized and taken to create an ecosystem for the growth of future industries. With the support of strategic national scientific and technological forces, innovation entities in Beijing are achieving more original outcomes in cutting-edge, interdisciplinary, and disruptive technologies. As Beijing builds an end-to-end public service network for future industries, the city will also construct pilot platforms for quality testing and process validation, establish centers for commercialization of the achievements associated with advanced technologies through exploration, and create hubs for the development of future industry technologies and products... Beijing will enrich and improve application scenarios, pool the wisdom of innovative talented minds, strengthen international exchanges and cooperation, cultivate industry ecosystems, secure a leading position in future competition, and promote the joint integration and interplay of innovation chains, industry talent chains, and more.

As Beijing continues strengthening its innovative capacity and reinforcing pilot policies, unicorn companies with unique skills and core technologies grow more rapidly and new fields and tracks for future industries emerge, all signaling the imminence of a better world.

As you explore "New Quality Productive Forces in Beijing", prepare to catch a glimpse of the future, where buildings change temperature and color to suit the environment, embodied robots provide home health diagnostics for seniors with limited mobility, autonomous vehicles help us on our commute, and AI evolves from lifeless machines into partners we always need at work, life assistants, and urban stewards...

New quality productive forces are emerging in Beijing! Join us on our journey of dreams!
