By the end of 2025, the Beijing Municipal Administrative Center (BMC) was home to 1,806 foreign-funded enterprises. From 2023 to 2025, Tongzhou District recorded 569 newly registered foreign-funded enterprises, 207 of which were established in 2025 alone, accounting for 40 percent of the three-year total.

Anchoring its core positioning of promoting the "Two Zones" (the Integrated National Demonstration Zone for Opening up the Services Sector and the China (Beijing) Pilot Free Trade Zone) development in the BMC, Tongzhou District takes providing enterprises with one-stop government services as its starting point. It has established a dedicated service team to offer full-process registration services for foreign-funded enterprises, facilitating fast access and smooth approval of operation, thereby enhancing the district's appeal to foreign investment. The district has also rolled out a full-fledged "one-stop online platform" for foreign-funded enterprise registration, enabling zero-visit processing with high efficiency.

Today, an increasing number of landmark foreign-invested projects are taking root in the BMC. These include Ueda Yagi Money Broking (China) Co., Ltd., the first wholly foreign-owned money brokerage firm in China; IDC Consulting (Beijing) Ltd., a subsidiary of the global IT consulting giant IDC; the Chinese headquarters of DEWESoft, a world-renowned manufacturer of data acquisition systems; and EARNEST Partners Private Capital, the first wholly foreign-owned private fund manager in the BMC. Together, these investments are injecting strong momentum into the region's industrial upgrading. These companies operate across sectors such as scientific research and technical services, leasing and commercial service s, and cultural creativity—areas that closely align with the BMC's industrial development direction, fostering a virtuous cycle where foreign investment clustering and industrial upgrading reinforce each other.
