The plan in plain English
Beijing wants research strength to become industrial scale
The economic strategy is unusually explicit. Beijing intends to keep next-generation information technology and pharmaceuticals as its two internationally leading clusters; turn artificial intelligence and green energy into new trillion-yuan pillars; and scale six advanced-manufacturing clusters. It then places each industry in named districts and backs the programme with seventeen industrial projects.
Industrial strategy
Ten strategic industry clusters
The plan divides the ten clusters into three levels. These are the named sectors Beijing expects to provide industrial scale during 2026–2030.
Pharmaceuticals and health
Industry scale above RMB 1.5 trillion; faster development and market launch of innovative drugs and medical devices.
Artificial intelligence
A new trillion-yuan cluster; native AI companies, general-purpose agents, intelligent terminals and manufacturing equipment.
Green advanced energy and low-carbon environmental technology
A new trillion-yuan cluster spanning energy storage, hydrogen, solid-state batteries, perovskite photovoltaics, monitoring and resource circulation.
Integrated circuits
Strengthen equipment and chip design, expand production capacity and build a comprehensive cluster.
Robotics and intelligent manufacturing
Humanoid robots, complete robot systems, industrial machine tools, instruments and sensors.
Intelligent connected vehicles
Electrified and connected vehicle manufacturing plus a complete new-energy vehicle component chain.
Aerospace technology
Commercial spaceflight, satellite networks, launch vehicles, ground terminals, operations, low-altitude safety and BeiDou applications.
Advanced materials
Aerospace, electronic-information, biomedical and new-energy materials.
Safety and emergency industries
Three-dimensional monitoring and warning systems plus advanced emergency-rescue equipment.
Future industries
Nine technology tracks beyond today’s clusters
These are not nine additional, mutually exclusive industries. They are frontier technologies the plan wants to move from research and demonstration toward commercial use.
6G
A Beijing 6G laboratory, standards leadership, technical verification and demonstration applications.
Quantum technology
Quantum computing, communications and precision measurement, with “quantum +” applications in health and finance.
Superconducting materials
Seek early breakthroughs in frontier and disruptive material technologies.
Ultra-wide-bandgap semiconductors
Build reserves in a semiconductor direction beyond the current integrated-circuit base.
Atomic-scale manufacturing
Develop manufacturing capability at atomic precision.
Fusion energy
Pursue breakthroughs in next-generation energy technology.
Brain–computer interfaces
Industrial applications in healthcare, eldercare, education and smart living.
Biomanufacturing
Promote new technologies and products from laboratory work to scaled applications.
Cell and gene therapy
Accelerate translation and application of advanced therapies.
Industrial geography
Where each industry is meant to concentrate
The plan links sectors to specific districts, parks and business areas. The lists overlap because one district can host several parts of an industry chain.
Artificial intelligence
Haidian as the core; differentiated development in Beijing E-Town, Chaoyang, Shijingshan, Mentougou and other districts.
Data industry
Haidian, Chaoyang, Xicheng and Beijing E-Town.
Pharmaceuticals and health
Haidian, Daxing, Changping and Beijing E-Town as leading areas; specialist activity in Tongzhou, Shunyi, Miyun, Chaoyang, Mentougou and Fangshan.
Green advanced energy
Energy Valley in Changping; Zhongguancun Fangshan Green Energy Park; Daxing International Hydrogen Demonstration Zone; Haidian digital-energy cluster.
Integrated circuits
Design in Haidian; manufacturing and equipment in Beijing E-Town and Daxing; third-generation semiconductor chain in Shunyi.
Robotics and intelligent manufacturing
Robotics in Haidian, Beijing E-Town, Changping and Chaoyang; machine tools in Shunyi and Mentougou; instruments and sensors in Huairou; rail transit in Fengtai.
Intelligent connected vehicles
Two vehicle-manufacturing bases in Beijing E-Town and Shunyi.
Aerospace technology
Rocket Street in Beijing E-Town; commercial-space bases in Daxing and Haidian; satellite-internet park in Fengtai; low-altitude technology in Yanqing and Haidian.
Advanced materials
Haidian, Fangshan, Shunyi and Huairou.
Safety and emergency industries
Specialist emergency-equipment parks in Fengtai and Fangshan.
Finance
Financial Street, Beijing CBD, Lize Financial Business District and the Canal Business District in the municipal sub-centre.
Modern seed industry
Pinggu, Tongzhou and Yanqing.

Measurable commitments
Twelve numbers that define the 2030 direction
Average annual GDP growth
The plan says Beijing should strive for a better result where possible.
R&D expenditure / GDP
A 2030 target for research intensity.
High-value invention patents
Per 10,000 people by 2030.
Labour productivity
Per worker by 2030.
Digital-economy growth
Average annual growth in digital-economy value added.
Green-economy growth
Average annual growth in priority green industries.
AI application adoption
Agents and next-generation intelligent terminals by 2030.
Innovation and industrial investment
Target share of total investment.
Agricultural technology contribution
Contribution rate to agricultural growth by 2030.
Permanent population
Municipal population ceiling.
Construction land
Municipal construction-land ceiling.
Rail-access coverage
Population and jobs within 500 metres of rail stations.
Urban and regional programme
How the economic strategy connects to the city
Capital core
Improve the central-government service environment, protect and renew the old city, and raise liveability in the core area.
One core, two wings
Continue non-capital-function relocation, support Xiong’an New Area and build the Beijing Municipal Administrative Centre at a high standard.
Capital metropolitan area
Link a commuting circle, functional circle and industrial coordination circle through transport, innovation, services and institutional cooperation.
Urban activity areas
Use the Grand Canal waterfront, the Liangma River–Ba River corridor, the southern extension of the Central Axis and the Olympic area as integrated renewal and vitality projects.
Plain new towns and ecological conservation areas
Develop new growth poles and improve services in plain new towns while converting ecological value into sustainable development in conservation areas.
Existing-city renewal
Advance residential, industrial and area-based renewal together with public-space, utility-network, station-area, transit and road-network projects.
Complete major-project package
One hundred projects across twelve fields
Industrial development is one field in a much larger capital-city programme. The official interpretation reports planned investment of more than RMB 4 trillion across all 100 projects.
Planning and delivery
A hierarchy from strategy to land and annual action
The final part defines how the outline is meant to lead the wider planning system. Municipal special plans refine tasks by sector; district plans deepen them by territory; territorial spatial planning provides land and spatial guarantees. Annual plans then break the indicators and projects into shorter implementation cycles.
- Special plans must be coordinated with the comprehensive outline before approval
- Implementation follows a dynamic monitoring → mid-term evaluation → final evaluation sequence
- Land, funding and talent are directed toward projects identified by the plan
- Beijing proposes local legislation to formalize development-plan preparation and implementation
