According to information released through the official WeChat account of the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, the "Beijing Digital Economy Development Report (2025-2026)" Blue Book has been published. This report, which represents a systematic and ongoing study of the annual theoretical and practical focal points in Beijing's digital economy, has been authoritatively released at the Global Digital Economy Conference for five consecutive years.
The Blue Book comprehensively outlines new trends and developments in Beijing's digital economy, with a particular focus on key areas including 人工智能, data elements, computing infrastructure, digital governance, and international cooperation. A representative from the research team provided a systematic analysis of the new trends and characteristics of Beijing's digital economy from ten different perspectives.
The report indicates that Beijing's status as a leading city for 人工智能 continues to strengthen. It is projected that the core 人工智能 industry in Beijing will reach a scale of approximately 450 billion yuan in 2025, with over 2,500 related enterprises clustered in the region. By April 2026, the number of registered large-scale models had reached 225, with innovation in these models and their application across industries accelerating, thereby powering industrial upgrades, technological innovation, and public services.
Reforms to marketize data elements are advancing in depth, with breakthroughs in the construction of a key integrated zone and three specialized centers. The transaction volume on the Beijing International Big Data Exchange has increased by 150% year-on-year, and trusted data spaces are enhancing circulation in critical sectors such as healthcare and media.
Overall, Beijing's digital economy is entering a new phase characterized by systemic leadership. Distinctive industrial clusters are rapidly forming, and the city has taken the lead in establishing municipal-level future industry pilot zones in districts like Haidian and Changping. These efforts involve forward-looking planning in key directions such as general 人工智能, embodied AI, 6G, commercial aerospace, and quantum technology, contributing a "Beijing model" to global urban digital transformation.
