At the Xiongan New Area Urban Computing Center, the "digital heart" supporting the operation of "Cloud Xiongan," hosts the region's government cloud and various IT infrastructures. Equipped with edge computing, supercomputing, and cloud computing facilities, the center provides network, computing, and storage services for big data, blockchain, and IoT in the digital twin city, quietly building the digital foundation of "Cloud Xiongan."
"What’s visible is the data flickering on the big screens; what’s invisible is the high-speed spatiotemporal data chain," said Wang Menggeng, cybersecurity maintenance supervisor at Xiongan Cloud Network Technology Co. However, massive data and complex systems also bring significant cybersecurity challenges.
"The Urban Computing Center carries critical business systems related to government services and public welfare in the new area, so we must ensure a secure and controllable environment. To achieve this, we have built a fully localized and self-controlled platform," Wang explained.
So far, the center has established a vast ecosystem of hardware and software, achieving 100% self-reliance across the entire supply chain—from chips and operating systems to servers, databases, and application software.
"Most of the equipment and products come from Beijing and Tianjin, including Dawning servers from Tianjin and solutions from Beijing-based companies like Topsec and Qi An Xin," Wang said proudly.
In 2023, Beijing-headquartered Topsec deepened its presence in digital city security by establishing operations in Xiongan’s Zhongguancun Science Park. By March 2024, Topsec officially launched its Xiongan Digital City Security Headquarters, aligning with the needs of smart city construction to help Xiongan become a high-level modern urban benchmark.
At Topsec’s Xiongan branch, a large screen displays the cybersecurity status of Xiongan’s digital city, providing real-time assessments, alerts, and safeguards.
"Enterprise and user cybersecurity across Xiongan is managed by our security software. Our Chixiao Lab, stationed in Xiongan, specializes in security assessments and penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities and risks in advance," said Liu Jun, the company’s vice president.
Hao Xiaole, assistant general manager of Xiongan’s Zhongguancun Science Park, noted, "As of October this year, the park has attracted 215 tech companies, 66% of which are Beijing-based, including Topsec. Through multi-party collaboration and joint initiatives, the park has built a bridge for coordinated innovation, fostering an ecosystem where R&D has platforms, production yields results, and applications find real-world scenarios."
Li Zhijun, a first-level researcher at Hebei’s Department of Industry and Information Technology, explained that the three regions jointly formulated the "Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei New Generation IT Application Innovation National Advanced Manufacturing Cluster Cultivation and Enhancement Three-Year Action Plan (2025–2027)."
Beijing aims to build an "International Science and Technology Innovation Center," creating a dual-driven industrial system of "IT innovation + security." Tianjin, positioning itself as a national advanced manufacturing R&D base, is developing the country’s most comprehensive IT innovation ecosystem. Hebei, focusing on industrial transformation, is building an integrated system covering core software, hardware, computing power, algorithms, and data applications.
Currently, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has established a complete industrial chain—from CPUs, operating systems, and databases to servers, terminals, supercomputing, and cybersecurity—making it one of China’s most comprehensive clusters for next-gen IT innovation.
In 2024, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei new-generation IT innovation cluster reached a total scale of nearly 2.1 trillion yuan, accounting for 16.1% of the region’s industrial output. It hosts over 30,000 enterprises, including 77 listed companies and 42 national-level manufacturing champions.
Today, the three regions are working in synergy to weave Xiongan’s data security network. Behind this effort lies the collaborative principle of "dividing labor without dividing family" within the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei IT cluster—a foundation for the future of cybersecurity industry development.
