On May 30, the Beijing Fund Town celebrated its 11th anniversary. Driven by both service standardization and digital and intelligent transformation, the town has now served over 2,800 fund institutions and other related entities across the industry chain, establishing itself as the premier destination for fund institutions to set up operations in Beijing.

The standardization practices of the town were successfully selected into the second batch of reform and innovation cases for the development of Beijing's "Two Zones" (i.e., the China (Beijing) Pilot Free Trade Zone and the National Integrated Demonstration Zone for Greater Openness in the Services Sector). Standardized services have driven significant improvement in the overall service quality. To date, the annual number of newly registered private fund managers in this town has accounted for more than 50 percent of Beijing's annual total for several consecutive years. Furthermore, in 2025, an impressive 76.9 percent of private fund managers relocating to Beijing from other provincial-level administrative divisions chose to settle in the town.

The town guides its resident institutions to embrace the philosophy of "investing in early-stage, small-scale, long-term and hard-tech projects". The equity and venture capital firms within it have made over 1,600 outbound investments, with more than 250 investee companies successfully listed. In addition, the town has partnered with Zhongguancun Academy and Zhongguancun Institute of Artificial Intelligence to establish an "AI + finance" innovation lab. Together, they have launched initiatives like the AI Lecture Series (人工智能大讲堂) and the "AI + Quantitative Finance" training camps ("AI+量化"特训营), accelerating breakthroughs in artificial intelligence for the fund industry.
