At the conference, Chaoyang District released its “14th Five-Year” development strategy, policies for enterprise internationalization, and the “Science and Technology Hundred Parks” construction initiative.

On the same day, representatives from central enterprise headquarters, foreign-invested companies, and private tech enterprises shared their experiences and outlooks for development in Chaoyang. Several key enterprises also participated via video to discuss development insights and future expectations.

Looking back at the “14th Five-Year Plan,” Chaoyang District activated dual engines of business and technology, with industries moving towards new heights and quality of development improving. The GDP consecutively surpassed two trillion yuan milestones, reaching 966.85 billion yuan in 2025. The financial sector, as the primary pillar industry, played a strong supporting role, accounting for over one-fifth of the city’s total industry value. The information service industry rose to become the second-largest sector. The added value of finance, information, leasing and business services, real estate, and wholesale and retail industries all exceeded 100 billion yuan, demonstrating more robust economic momentum and resilience.

Over the past five years, Chaoyang District has built an internationally leading business environment, attracting top talent and fostering outstanding enterprises. Central and state-owned enterprises have demonstrated their role as “ballast stones” in serving national and capital strategies. Private enterprises have shown continuous innovation vitality, and confidence among foreign-invested companies in deepening their development has strengthened. The number of regional headquarters of multinational companies reached 177, with 146 listed companies. The district’s 377,000 market entities have collectively created a vibrant scene of “a hundred flowers blooming in spring.”

During the “14th Five-Year” period, Chaoyang District will continue to optimize an internationally first-class business environment and create a “Beijing Service” model for Chaoyang. On one hand, it will accelerate the release of industrial space advantages within the district, emphasizing leading roles, urban-rural linkage, and regional coordination. Focus will be placed on enhancing the guiding functions of key areas such as CBD, Chaoyang Park, and the Olympic Center District, as well as improving rural development levels through “one village, one product.” The district aims to accelerate the formation of a new pattern of industrial space development that promotes urban growth through industry, integrates industry and city, and fosters industry-city integration. On the other hand, efforts will be made to improve enterprise services by refining industrial policies, expanding financial service networks, optimizing enterprise cultivation systems, and promoting the “efficient completion of one matter” reform. These measures will facilitate policy benefits such as immediate application and direct access, further strengthening resource integration and service efficiency. Special focus will be on high-level “bringing in” and “going out” services for enterprises, leveraging the construction of an international legal and commercial arbitration demonstration zone, attracting top international commercial arbitration institutions, foreign-related legal service platforms, and intellectual property protection centers to provide strong legal support and smooth regulatory connections for enterprises participating in global competition.
