Beijing, March 6 — (Reporter Chen Hang) The first district-level comprehensive gaming license service window in the city has officially started operation at the Shijingshan District Administrative Service Center, enabling local gaming companies to apply, consult, and receive services nearby, and streamlining the final step of the license application process.

According to reports, the Shijingshan District gaming license service window will better serve district-based gaming companies and empower regional innovation in the gaming and e-sports industry. It is a key measure to improve the full industry chain of gaming and e-sports in Shijingshan District and enhance the concentration of industry resources.

At the event, the first applicant was received — a representative from Beijing Changyou Tianxia Network Technology Group Co., Ltd. submitted application materials for a new game development at the comprehensive window. Under staff guidance, the process of submitting materials, system entry, and online acceptance was smooth. Through a connection with the municipal government service center’s comprehensive window, the application was accepted online, and the applicant received the acceptance receipt on-site.

“Before, I had to go to the city hall to handle it. Now I can walk to the district office to submit and even get the acceptance receipt on the spot. It’s so convenient!” said the representative. Shijingshan District is a livable and business-friendly area with rapid growth in the gaming industry, accounting for a significant share of the city.

The reporter learned that the annual revenue of Shijingshan District’s gaming and e-sports industry has exceeded 20 billion yuan, with 128 upstream and downstream companies in the industry chain, covering game development, publishing, channels, e-sports competitions, live streaming, and other complete segments. The industry is dense and ecologically complete. The booming gaming and e-sports industry has driven regional cultural and related industry revenues to over 190 billion yuan, ranking third in the city and first in growth rate among districts.

Based on the “14th Five-Year Plan,” Shijingshan District will accelerate the development of Beijing’s Future Digital Space Innovation Pilot Zone, the Shougang E-sports Center, plan for a branch of the China Audio-Video Association’s Game Museum, and strive to establish a standardization research institute for gaming and a big data information service platform for China’s gaming industry. The goal is to surpass 30 billion yuan in industry revenue and to make Shijingshan a leading hub for gaming and e-sports industry innovation. (End)
