A sail-off ceremony for key enterprises was also held, injecting strong momentum into enterprise development in Chaoyang.

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

Looking back at the “14th Five-Year Plan,” Chaoyang District activated dual engines of business and technology, with industries moving towards new directions and quality of development improving. GDP has consecutively reached two new billion-level milestones, expected to hit 966.85 billion yuan in 2025. The financial industry remains a strong pillar, accounting for over one-fifth of the city’s total industry value added. Information services have risen to become the second-largest industry. The added value of finance, information, leasing and business services, real estate, and wholesale and retail industries all exceeded 100 billion yuan, demonstrating stronger economic momentum and resilience.

Over the past five years, Chaoyang District has built an internationally top-tier business environment, attracting talents from around the world 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 grown stronger. The number of regional headquarters of multinational companies has reached 177, with 146 listed companies. The district’s 377,000 market entities have 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 leading business environment and build a “Beijing Service” model in 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 goal is to accelerate the formation of a new pattern of industrial space development that promotes city growth through industry, industry through city, and integrated urban-industry development. 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 handling of one matter” reform. These measures aim to provide policy benefits that are immediately accessible and resource integration that enhances 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.
