As threads of innovation unfold across the hot soil of Xiongan, what kind of era will they sketch out? As a grand gathering focused on the future lands in Xiongan, with future industries, future scenarios, and visions of future life presented together, what kind of intellectual resonance will it stir?
The word "future" carries endless imagination and also gathers the strength to move forward. From industry to scenarios, from city to life, the answer is being written into reality stroke by stroke on this hot land.
Clusters Form, Future Industries Take Wing
Leading enterprises pull and drive upstream and downstream supporting companies to accelerate their clustering, and industrial chains continue to extend and grow.

The space information and satellite internet industry is rapidly taking shape. As the chain-leading enterprise China SatNet relocates to Xiongan, 69 upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain, including LandSpace Hongqing, and 9 innovation platforms have successively landed, building a full-chain layout covering research and development, manufacturing, testing, and application.

The artificial intelligence industry is flourishing. The AI Research Institute, AI Industrial Park, AI Training Base, and AI Public R&D Platform together form Xiongan New Area's artificial intelligence industry ecosystem, creating a development pattern of "one institute, one park, one platform, one base."

As of September 2026, more than 50 central state-owned enterprise digital technology companies have landed, gathering more than 120 leading AI enterprises such as Huaqing Zhiyan, Wenzhun Intelligent, and Dongjian Technology, covering multiple fields including energy, transportation, finance, and healthcare.

As a national strategy to relieve Beijing of non-capital functions and build a highland for innovative development, Xiongan is accelerating the development of three leading industries: space information and satellite internet, the digital intelligence economy and artificial intelligence, and new materials. The rapidly developing industrial clusters are continuously injecting surging momentum into this "city of the future."

Scenarios Land, Cutting-Edge Technology Breaks Ground
The vitality of an industry lies in the continuous unlocking of scenarios. Xiongan turns massive real urban construction scenarios into a "testing ground" for cutting-edge technology, opening paths and building bridges for innovation. Underground spaces, digital roads, and the urban brain together form fertile soil for technological innovation.
In the Rongdong area, underground parking lots are basically interconnected, with tens of thousands of parking spaces. How can one quickly find one's car or exit in an underground parking lot? Relying on "BeiDou + 5G indoor distribution" technology, precise underground positioning and navigation allow people to reach their destinations as easily as they would above ground.
The digital twin model of Xiongan's underground integrated utility tunnel is linked with real-time sensors. With a single tap, one can view the real-time operating status of water, electricity, gas, and heating pipelines, and grasp the full picture on one screen.
More "future scenarios" are also accelerating above ground in Xiongan. With the "urban brain" as the core, the basic architecture of a smart city has been built. More than 500 kilometers of digital roads and over a million sensing terminals weave into a neural network of全域 perception.

In the low-altitude economy sector, a low-altitude intelligent logistics network is being planned and laid out, and various advanced intelligent agricultural machines have gradually become widespread across the new area's fertile fields. Xiongan's future technology is extending in multiple dimensions.
Technology Benefits the People, Smart Life Within Reach

In the medical field, technology likewise guards life and health. Xiongan Xuanwu Hospital uses a domestic robotic surgery system to complete highly difficult minimally invasive surgeries. Portable testing equipment integrating artificial intelligence and radio frequency microwave technology can quickly locate brain bleeding points and achieve continuous dynamic monitoring. Diverse smart applications such as intelligent delivery vehicles and digital robots have successively appeared in corners of the city.

From space exploration gazing at the starry river to digital twins running through the underground, from city-wide intelligent perception to smart life within the reach of ordinary people, Xiongan advances step by step, continuously portraying the grand blueprint of a "city of the future" as a vivid reality.
From September 28 to 29, the 2026 Future Industry Innovation and Development Conference will open in Xiongan New Area, Hebei. Meet at the "city of the future" to explore new opportunities in future industries and jointly draw a new blueprint for high-quality development.
