AI & software
Haidian identifies AI, integrated circuits, software and information services as established priorities in its development strategy. Zhongguancun Software Park is one of its named locations. [1]

Beijing
AI development, vehicle engineering and industrialisation.
Beijing’s industrial profile spans software and research in Haidian and manufacturing and supplier sites in Yizhuang. For businesses, the important transition is between these roles: what must happen before a technology can work in daily operations?

01 / Industry profile
What shapes the industrial base.
This overview focuses on the topics covered by our location research so far. It is not a comprehensive industry directory.
Vehicle components
The investment agency describes a specialised park for vehicle components and intelligent manufacturing in Yizhuang. Magna and Wöhner are among the companies it lists there. [2]
Research commercialisation
Zhongguancun comprises multiple parks with different roles. Its 2024 profile distinguishes, among other things, northern research locations and southern production locations in pharmaceuticals and healthcare. This illustrates a geographic division of work, not a general visit itinerary. [3]

02 / Industrial locations
Where to investigate further.
Haidian and Yizhuang are geographically separate. A development area, an administrative district and a company site are different geographic units.
01
Haidian · Zhongguancun
Software, research and development
The district highlights its scientific and technical resources and software park. A technical enquiry should therefore specify whether it needs a research partner, software supplier or integrator. [1]
A question to explore
Who takes responsibility for integration, maintenance and operational failures after the prototype stage?
02
Yizhuang · Beijing E-Town
Automotive supply and manufacturing
The park profile published in September 2026 describes standardised workshops serving the industrial environment around Beijing Benz, BAIC and Xiaomi. This describes the park’s positioning; individual supply contracts or approvals require separate evidence. [2]
A question to explore
Which approval processes and traceability requirements apply to your specific component?

- 02Test the technology
- 03Prepare for operation

03 / For your business
What would you like to investigate?
The specific task determines which companies, technical teams and locations are relevant.
Applying AI in your operations?
Check data access, error tolerance and the manual fallback process. A pilot needs a measurable task and an owner who will operate it after completion.
Entering an automotive supply chain?
First establish which technical function you offer and who approves it. A park address is not a substitute for supplier qualification.
Developing with a research team?
Agree on deliverables, test methods and the use of shared data in advance. This distinguishes exploratory research from work intended for product handover.
