The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, which covers an area of 216,000 square kilometers and has a population of more than 100 million, is geographically connected, people-to-people, geographically integrated, and culturally connected. It has a natural foundation for mutual integration and coordinated development. On February 26, 2014, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a symposium to hear a special report on the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and proposed that realizing the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei is a major national strategy.

The first batch of 4 relief colleges and universities and 2 relief hospitals have confirmed their locations. The kindergartens, primary schools, and middle schools supported by the “turnkey” method in Beijing have been completed and handed over to the new area, and central enterprises have established more than 140 institutions of various types in the new area.
A number of market-oriented relief projects are also advancing in an orderly manner. On November 23, 2022, the unveiling and launching ceremony of China Railway Industry Cluster was held in Xiong’an New Area. This is the first central enterprise industrial cluster to settle in Xiong’an New Area.
At the same time, Beijing’s internal functional reorganization is advancing in an orderly manner. Since 2014, Beijing has withdrawn from nearly 3,000 general manufacturing and polluting enterprises, and eased and upgraded nearly 1,000 regional professional markets and logistics centers.
Adhering to key breakthroughs, the construction of Beijing’s new “two wings” is advanced with high standards and high quality.
In early spring, everything comes back to life. More than 100 kilometers to the south of Beijing, the Xiongan New District is growing at joints; the sub-center of Beijing City, the urban framework is rapidly opening. Beijing’s new “two wings” are constantly showing new looks.

On the land of Gyeonggi, there is a scene of vitality.
Innovation drives continuous efforts to accelerate collaboration in key areas
At the National Supercomputing Tianjin Center in Binhai New Area, Tianjin, a new generation of supercomputers has achieved exascale calculations in one second, and more than 15,000 computing tasks are performed here every day, two-thirds of which come from the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
“Supercomputers are a sharp weapon for the development of technology and industry. Behind the high-speed operation of computing power is the pulse of the economy’s ‘speeding up’.” said Meng Xiangfei, party secretary of the National Supercomputing Tianjin Center.
The new generation of supercomputers is the epitome of innovation-driven development in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. Over the past 9 years, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei has always adhered to the leadership of innovation, continued to increase investment in innovation, led the development of high-end industries, demonstrated vitality in new formats and new models, and developed and expanded the main body of innovation.
In the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei National Technology Innovation Center located in Haidian District, Beijing, 8 industrial fields such as new energy vehicles and optoelectronic display are carrying out research and development, and 11 technological achievements such as “miniature two-photon microscope” and “living cell super-resolution microscope” Has reached the world advanced level.
The gradual transformation of scientific and technological research and development achievements will help high-tech manufacturing, digital economy and other fields continue to make efforts, and inject innovative momentum into high-quality development.
In an old factory building producing auto parts in Daxing, Beijing, an international hydrogen energy demonstration zone is growing.
Wang Xiaotong, person in charge of Xingchuang Hydrogen Spring Company, introduced that this place used to be a general manufacturing industry. After clearing and rectifying, the world‘s largest hydrogen refueling station with the largest daily hydrogen refueling capacity, hydrogen-related public test platforms and other application scenarios have been built, and hydrogen fuel cells have initially formed. Industrial agglomeration effect.
Under the guidance of coordinated development, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei continues to increase investment in innovation, and emerging economies develop rapidly. The data shows that in 2022, the added value of Beijing’s digital economy will account for more than 40% of GDP, Tianjin’s high-tech manufacturing industry will account for 14.2% of the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size, and Hebei’s high-tech industry will account for 20.6% of the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size. , the new format continues to heat up.
