Experience. Explore. En-novate
For start-ups, Beijing is arguably the biggest entrepreneurial ecosystem in China. Of China’s 151 unicorns, 66 hail from Beijing and 35% of China’s venture funding lies in the city, more than double that of Shanghai.
As the government continues to promote mass entrepreneurship, a burgeoning start-up hub has developed in less than three years. The technology hub Zhongguancum draws talent from all over China and hosts the world’s largest internet companies as well as a variety of accelerators and incubators. It’s a perfect place to experience how technology innovation is reforming a developing economy into a globally influential hub of economic activity.
The amount of investment made into artificial intelligence in China has now eclipsed the USA. In so doing, Beijing has become a leader in the field and shapes how artificial intelligence is being built worldwide.
