General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "Today's world is undergoing major changes unseen in a century, and scientific and technological innovation is one of the key variables. If we want to cultivate opportunities in the crisis and open a new situation in the changing situation, we must ask for answers from scientific and technological innovation. ”
Since the new era
China puts scientific and technological innovation
It is at the core of the overall development of the country
Promote the development of science and technology
Remarkable achievements have been made
Enter the ranks of innovative countries
Zhongguancun is the first national high-tech zone and the first national independent innovation demonstration zone in the mainland, and is a banner of innovation and development in the mainland. Founded in 2007 with the permanent theme of "Innovation and Development", the Zhongguancun Forum is an important exchange platform for China to integrate into the global innovation network with an open attitude.
The CPC Central Committee attaches great importance to the development of national high-tech zones, and General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized that Zhongguancun should accelerate the construction of a world-leading science and technology park, and sent congratulatory letters to the 2019 Zhongguancun Forum, the 2021 Zhongguancun Forum, and the 2023 Zhongguancun Forum, fully reflecting the great importance attached to scientific and technological innovation and international cooperation, and demonstrating China's responsibility as a major country to actively participate in global innovation cooperation, share the fruits of innovation and development with all countries in the world, and promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.
In his congratulatory letter in 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that at present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is developing in depth, and international cooperation and openness and sharing are needed more than ever for mankind to solve the problem of common development. China firmly pursues a mutually beneficial and win-win strategy of opening-up, and stands ready to work with other countries to promote scientific and technological innovation and promote science and technology to better benefit the people of all countries. The general secretary's thoughts were quickly transformed into practical actions for implementation.
As early as 11 years ago, in September 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping led the comrades of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee out of Zhongnanhai and moved the "classroom" of collective learning to Zhongguancun, and "implementing the innovation-driven development strategy" became the theme of learning. The general secretary stressed that we must enhance our sense of adversity, firmly seize and make good use of the opportunity of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and we must not wait, wait and see, or slack off.
Loyalty, mission will be achieved
As one of the most innovative regions in the world
Zhongguancun today

Two-way empowerment
Haidian in April, the green trees and flowers are beautiful. Zhongguancun International Innovation Center, the new site of Zhongguancun Forum, is like a leaf dotted in the city. To the south of the building, across the road, is the Zhongguancun National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone Exhibition Center. Looking to the northwest, Wanshou Mountain in the Summer Palace is clearly visible.
Zhongguancun International Innovation Center is located at the junction of the historical and cultural scenic spots of "Three Mountains and Five Gardens" ("Three Mountains" refers to Xiangshan, Yuquan Mountain and Wanshou Mountain, and "Five Parks" refers to Jingyi Garden, Jingmingyuan, Summer Palace, Yuanmingyuan and Changchun Garden) and Zhongguancun Science City. Adhering to the three design concepts of science and technology, culture and green, it will be built into a "science and technology and cultural living room" for global innovative entrepreneurs and citizens of the capital, contributing to the development of the capital in the new era.
"Three Mountains and Five Gardens" is a golden business card of Haidian District, and the Zhongguancun International Innovation Center is built on the former site of Changchun Garden. The blending of culture and technology has become a natural attribute of the new venue.
Changchun Garden, what a poetic, reverie, and desirable name. Today, in Haidian's new journey, "Changchun New Park" is about to emerge. Haidian will focus on the Zhongguancun International Innovation Center and build the Changchun Garden area of the Three Mountains and Five Parks into a "Changchun New Park" science and technology and cultural cluster. The planned "Changchun New Park" science and technology and cultural agglomeration area is bounded by the North Fifth Ring Road in the north, the Northwest Fourth Ring Road in the south, the Gongde Temple area in the west, and Zhongguancun Street in the east.
The "Changchun New Garden" science and technology and cultural agglomeration area not only has historical attractions such as the Old Summer Palace and the Summer Palace, but also has top domestic universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University and many top scientific research institutions, and the core area of Zhongguancun is located here. "Changchun New Garden" is not a simple renewal and reconstruction, but a collision of technology and culture. Haidian District will focus on the Zhongguancun International Innovation Center to build a future global innovation idea exchange platform, an international scientific and technological innovation cooperation platform and a high-end dialogue platform for science and technology humanities, highlighting the rich history and culture, telling the spirit of innovation, and creating a scientific and technological innovation environment of "spring at all times".
Relying on its competitive location, Haidian today has become one of the most attractive, dynamic and innovative regions in China. In 2023, the regional GDP will reach 1.1 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.2%, accounting for more than a quarter of the city's total. The ecological environment is beautiful, and the national ecological civilization construction demonstration zone has been successfully established. As the capital's "four centers" functional centralized carrying area, Haidian is striving to be the vanguard of the capital's high-quality development in the new era and a demonstration area for new quality productivity. The two-way empowerment of science and technology and culture has comprehensively driven the construction of a modern and strong area and a high-quality Haidian to create a new situation.
If you don't reject the crowd, you will be the river and the sea. Chen Hongbo, former president of the International Association of Science and Technology Parks and Innovation (IASP), said that cooperation is an important means to address the problems and challenges in the process of human development. Antonio Frisoli, President of the Italian National Competence Center for Robotics and guest of the 2023 Zhongguancun Forum, said that the Zhongguancun Forum has a long-term vision and is very important for science. Chen Kuan, founder of Inference Medical Technology Co., Ltd. and guest of the 2020/2023 Zhongguancun Forum, said that the gathering of small innovation points is a great cause.
At this time, Haidian is full of spring and vitality. Spring is the season for sowing. In this season of warm wind and sunshine and the growth of all things, at the 2024 Zhongguancun Forum Annual Conference, the seeds of "Innovation: Building a Better World" will be sown, and scientific and technological innovation and international cooperation will surely bear fruitful results and contribute to the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
The United States and the United States share the same world
