In the Haidian exhibition area of the Financial Services Exhibition at the 2026 CIFTIS, the Galaxy General robot is surrounded by visitors. “Help me introduce the highlights of the exhibition area”. Facing the audience's question, the robot responds one by one with fluent voice and natural gestures.
In June this year, Haidian was officially selected as one of the first batch of national “Capital Market Sci-Tech Finance Practice Samples”, becoming the only selected region in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area. The Financial Services Thematic Exhibition at this year's CIFTIS is the first national-level concentrated display window for Haidian since being rated as one of the first batch of national capital market sci-tech finance practice samples. The independent exhibition area, covering 224 square meters, transforms the practical achievements of finance empowering hard technology into a perceptible, accessible, and interactive on-site experience through a carefully designed narrative flow.
Sci-Tech Finance “Toolbox” Builds Full-Chain Services
Stepping into the exhibition area, the first thing that catches the eye is the “Centennial Jingzhang AI Innovation Belt”. Historical images and AI innovation blueprints overlap and present on the exhibition wall. Exhibition staff introduced to the reporter that the Jingzhang Railway Heritage Park is being constructed according to the “Three Zones, Two Wings” layout, with a large number of AI enterprises, universities, research institutes, and innovation platforms clustered along the belt.
In the “Haidian District Profile” section, a display board breaks down Haidian's sci-tech innovation heritage — 2 national laboratories, 92 national key laboratories, 37 universities, 96 national-level research institutions, 692 academicians, and 12,300 AI scholars.
Passing through the data-intensive district profile exhibition area, the exhibition focus shifts to the core sci-tech finance section. Five dimensions — “capital market, patient capital, sci-tech credit, sci-tech insurance, policy safeguards” — are laid out in sequence through ring charts, data charts, and product matrices, forming a complete sci-tech finance service “toolbox”.
In front of the capital market section display board, multiple visitors stopped to read carefully. Data shows that Haidian has 265 listed companies in total, with a total market value of 8.93 trillion yuan, ranking first in Beijing in scale for consecutive years. The display board presents the structural distribution of 165 domestic and 100 overseas listed enterprises through clear graphic and text divisions, including 28 on the STAR Market, 55 on the ChiNext, and 8 on the Beijing Stock Exchange, with the three major industries of information technology, industrial manufacturing, and biomedicine accounting for nearly 80%. The accompanying listing cultivation system diagram illustrates a three-stage full-chain service mechanism from “cultivation and reserve” to “filing for listing” and then to “post-listing development”.
The patient capital section presented a “three-circle investment” system through nested ring charts: the inner circle of venture investment focuses on early-stage and small-scale investments, the middle circle of value investment serves growth-stage enterprises, and the outer circle of industrial investment addresses Pre-IPO, M&A, and private placement financing needs. On the government-guided fund front, the Zhongguancun Science City Technology Growth Fund has been upgraded to its fourth phase, with a total scale of 20 billion yuan, and the series of funds reaching a total scale of 30 billion yuan. The display board also disclosed that in the first half of 2026, Haidian recorded 224 equity financing deals, with invested amounts totaling 95.665 billion yuan, accounting for half of the city's total in both number and amount, with the AI track leading with 108 cases and 62.316 billion yuan.
The sci-tech credit exhibition area displayed four pioneering pilot credit products in a four-quadrant layout: acquisition loan ratios increased to 80%, sci-tech talent innovation and entrepreneurship loan terms extended to 10 years, equity option loans capped at 50 million yuan per household, and sci-tech R&D loans covering large, medium, and small enterprises. Supporting data showed that the Zhongguancun Sci-Tech Innovation Financial Service Center has cumulatively accepted 564 innovative business applications, with financing amounting to 12.852 billion yuan.
The sci-tech insurance section highlighted the “Kehuibao” project, the first city-level government unified insurance program of its kind nationwide, with the first batch benefiting 288 enterprises and providing nearly 700 million yuan in risk coverage. On-site staff introduced that Haidian has expanded the unified insurance coverage this year, providing full premium support for small and micro sci-tech enterprises participating in inclusive comprehensive sci-tech insurance, as well as OPC enterprises or national high-tech enterprises that have been recognized.
Hard-Tech Enterprise Exhibition Makes Innovation Perceptible and Tangible
The enterprise display area is the “closed-loop verification” link of the entire narrative thread. Within approximately 140 square meters of space, over ten hard-tech enterprises primarily feature physical displays and interactive experiences, covering fields such as space computing power, large models, domestic GPUs, embodied intelligent robots, commercial aerospace, quantum technology, and biomedicine.
In front of the Lightwheel Intelligence booth, staff wearing EgoSuite data collection equipment are conducting image acquisition demonstrations, with head-mounted cameras and wrist cameras synchronously capturing fine hand movements and full-body posture. Dong Xiaochao, Vice President of Government Affairs at Lightwheel Intelligence, told the reporter, “The enterprise is committed to building a robot continuous learning system and physical AI data evaluation infrastructure, with the core mission of teaching robots to learn autonomously and accelerating industrial landing”.
The brightly colored and stylishly designed AI earphones nearby have also attracted many people to stop and inquire. “This AI earphone can achieve real-time translation in 66 languages. In terms of exterior design, we have also incorporated some fashion trend elements, such as butterfly brick buckles and star brick buckles, focusing on the combination of fashion wearables and intelligent experience”, said Zhao Zhiyi, Brand Manager of Beijing SoundAI Technology Co., Ltd. The reporter learned that this earphone adopts a bone conduction non-in-ear design, capable of completing real-time translation while also serving as an ordinary earphone.
“Our product can help organize meeting information and formulate listening plans before meetings; assist in compiling key quotes during meetings; and output multilingual meeting summaries, as well as videos and news dissemination materials in various styles and types after meetings”. At the Beijing Institute for General Artificial Intelligence (BIGAI) exhibition area, the reporter learned up close about the enterprise's newly launched SoulAgent intelligent agent. Product Operations Manager Chang Li introduced that, unlike ordinary voice transcription tools, SoulAgent's digital expert avatar function provides an integrated intelligent solution for meeting information collection, content organization, and publicity output.
“Just tap Alipay on your phone, and you can instantly unlock more new intelligent experience features”. In front of the Ant Group Treasure Box booth, multiple visitors are experiencing multi-scenario life services such as smart station navigation and smart dining recommendations. According to Chen Lianlian, Product Manager of the Ant Group Treasure Box Platform, the Ant Group Treasure Box platform is an intelligent agent development platform for enterprises and individuals, capable of achieving intelligent agent building, multi-terminal publishing, data analysis, and application quality evaluation, delivering services such as travel, park visits, local cultural tourism, and dining consumption directly to users.
From historical images of the Jingzhang Railway, to capital market data charts, and then to real-time Q&A between Galaxy General robots and the audience — the Haidian exhibition area connects historical heritage, policy design, and frontier technology through a clear exhibition logic. It is reported that on September 11, the 10th special roadshow of the Zhongguancun "FinTech" International Innovation Competition will be held here, with multiple high-quality sci-tech innovation projects taking the stage for display, on-site review by investment institutions, and industry-finance matchmaking.
