Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone has started 10 major municipal projects this year, involving commercial aerospace, new energy vehicles, and more.

China News Service Beijing, March 5 (Li Xiao) Beijing officially released the list of key city projects for 2026, the “Three 100s” initiative. Beijing Economic-Technological Development Zone (also known as “Beijing Yizhuang”) has 28 key projects selected, the highest number among all districts in the city. In addition to ongoing projects, Beijing Yizhuang will start 10 new municipal key projects this year, striving to maintain fixed asset investment of over 100 billion yuan throughout the year and drive high-quality development with high-quality projects.

It is reported that the 28 projects selected as municipal key projects this year in Beijing Yizhuang cover major technological innovation and modern industry projects, significant infrastructure projects, and major livelihood improvement projects. Leading international companies such as Sanofi, Shouyao Holdings, BOE, and CATL are investing in expansion and establishing factories, demonstrating confidence and providing strong support for Beijing Yizhuang to accelerate the creation of a new quality productivity demonstration zone and an internationally first-class high-end industrial comprehensive new city.

Specifically, the industrial projects included in this year’s municipal key projects mainly focus on emerging industries and future industries such as new energy vehicles, healthcare, and commercial aerospace. These projects will promote the expansion of Beijing Yizhuang’s industrial landscape and inject new vitality into building a modern industrial system. For example, the Aerospace Intelligent Manufacturing Headquarters and Lightweight Components Industrialization Base will conduct R&D on key topics such as thermal expansion technology, aircraft skin stretching equipment, and aircraft engine parts. They will build production lines for thermal expansion forming equipment, body frame beams, and aircraft structural components to supply well-known vehicle manufacturers in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

Infrastructure and livelihood improvement projects involve supporting transportation infrastructure, water projects, housing and community services, education, and garden city construction, demonstrating Beijing Yizhuang’s commitment to continuously optimizing urban functions and improving residents’ well-being. For example, to enhance the allocation of high-quality educational resources, Beijing Yizhuang will build six supporting primary schools and a Yizhuang school affiliated with Beijing Normal University. The establishment of these schools will meet the demand for quality education among local residents, enhance their sense of gain and happiness, and support subsequent talent recruitment and retention efforts in the zone.

Currently, as the Spring Festival holiday ends, key ongoing projects such as the Baisai Si key biological reagent R&D, production, and technical service capacity enhancement demonstration project, and the Beijing Times Battery Base are resuming work. Construction is in full swing, with several projects like the SMC (China) R&D Center expected to be completed this year. Additionally, projects such as Shouyao Holdings’ new drug R&D and industrialization base and the Beijing Normal University Yizhuang school will start construction this year. More than half of the planned new key projects are expected to commence in the first half of the year.

An official from the Beijing Yizhuang Economic Development Bureau stated that by 2025, fixed asset investment in Beijing Yizhuang had maintained a scale of over 100 billion yuan for three consecutive years. In 2026, aiming for a fourth consecutive year of over 100 billion yuan in fixed asset investment, the zone will continue to leverage the guiding role of key city projects, establish a comprehensive project lifecycle service guarantee system, and promote key projects from “planning” to “construction” and “real scene” stages. Steady investment growth will support the sustained positive development of the regional economy. (End)
