Knowledge-intensive services support 72% of Haidian's total trade in services. The 43.6-square-kilometer Centennial Jingzhang AI Innovation Belt grows along the “Three Zones, Two Wings” layout. The Beijing Cross-Border Data Service Center (Zhongguancun Science City Service Station) has taken the lead in breaking new ground.. . At “The Night of Haidian” of the 2026 CIFTIS held on September 11, the thematic video on trade in services integration development achievements, “Linking the World”, was released, presenting a panoramic view of the abundant fruits of Haidian's high-quality development in trade in services. From education, technology, and health to culture, finance, and intellectual property, a batch of Haidian service brands are accelerating toward the global market. Along the Centennial Jingzhang AI Innovation Belt, the innovative wisdom of universities and research institutes, the development vitality of industrial parks, and the warm temperature of urban services converge and blend, with digital technology and the service industry deeply integrated, demonstrating Haidian's solid steps in building a national digital trade demonstration zone and actively participating in global trade in services collaboration.
Haidian District's service industry has accounted for over 90% of its regional GDP for ten consecutive years, and its trade in services development has traced a consistently upward trajectory. Knowledge-intensive services support 72% of Haidian's total trade in services, 34 percentage points higher than the national average, with digital trade accounting for over 86%, forming an internationalized industrial cluster centered on sci-tech services, financial services, and others. Animation, gaming, and micro-dramas — the “new trio” of culture — are heading toward the global market. Five national characteristic service export bases including Zhongguancun Software Park, Xiyuan Hospital of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, Beijing Language and Culture University, International Communication Science and Technology Cultural Park, and Zhongguancun Science City, cover four major fields: digital services, health services, cloud services, and intellectual property. A series of achievements collectively pull a Haidian curve growing toward the world.
Haidian builds the core engine of economic development through sci-tech innovation. Relying on the “1+X+1” modern industrial system, key fields such as technology, finance, education, health, culture, and professional services connect with and empower each other, forming a complete trade in services chain.
Over a century ago, Zhan Tianyou presided over the construction of the Jingzhang Railway, bravely serving as a trailblazing pioneer. Today, along the Centennial Jingzhang AI Innovation Belt, a batch of Haidian large model entities including the Beijing Institute for General Artificial Intelligence (BIGAI), Z. AI, and Moonshot AI have become pioneers of “open source”. The 43.6-square-kilometer Centennial Jingzhang AI Innovation Belt proposes a “Three Zones, Two Wings” spatial layout. The central area is the AI Origin Community, creating a “near-campus innovation ecosystem” within a one-kilometer radius around Tsinghua University, Peking University, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The northern area is the Zhongzhi Park AI Independent Innovation Acceleration Zone, building a national-level AI platform agglomeration area and a global AI cooperation and governance center. The southern area strengthens the Dazhongsi AI Industry Agglomeration Area, leveraging Douyin's platform business advantages to incubate AI-native and AI+integrated empowerment new business forms. The west side builds the Zhongguancun Sci-Tech Service Wing, and the east side builds the Xiaoyuehe Scenario Empowerment Wing. Spanning a century, from “opening roads” to “open source”, the Centennial Jingzhang AI Innovation Belt has become the core carrier for Haidian District to strengthen its regional AI industry.
China's high-level opening up promotes new development of global trade in services. In Haidian, parks, national-level bases, and professional platforms collaborate to weave a network. The Beijing Cross-Border Data Service Center (Zhongguancun Science City Service Station) has taken the lead in breaking new ground, the large model ecological service station provides full-journey escort, and three high-energy-level platforms of Zhongguancun Comprehensive Bonded Zone — the National Artificial Intelligence (Life Sciences/Medicine) Application Pilot-Scale Facility, the Multi-Material System Photonic Quantum Chip Pilot-Scale Platform, and the Beijing High-Performance Chip Service Platform — provide hardcore support. The policy dividends of bonded, duty-free, and tax refund are superimposed and released. From “going out” to “going steadily”, Haidian escorts every departure of trade in services.
The development of trade in services cannot be separated from first-class services. Haidian District's core commercial districts such as Wukesong and Zhongguancun, as well as many scenic spots, have achieved full-domain multi-language signage coverage. The integrated development of trade in services and service consumption continues to optimize the inbound consumption experience through measures such as cross-border payment, one-click tax refund, immediate purchase and refund, and travel wallet. Traditional Chinese medicine links with cultural tourism resources to create characteristic scenarios where health and culture coexist, welcoming guests from all corners of the world with warm-hearted services.
Linking the world and embracing global opportunities, Haidian is also linking with the future, embracing the future, and growing in resonance with the future.
