Over the past five years, Beijing has welcomed over 9,000 new foreign-invested enterprises and recognized 270+ foreign R&D centers, leveraging its position as a national service-sector open-up demonstration zone and free trade pilot area. The city has rolled out 70 breakthrough national policies and exported 80 innovative practices nationwide, consistently topping evaluations of service-sector openness. Key initiatives include expanding biotech and healthcare access, establishing the rare-disease pharmaceutical pilot zone, and launching the country’s first international professional qualification recognition system.
Beijing has simplified investment and administrative processes with fully online company registration in as little as one day, improved logistics through the “dual hub, two-field” coordination model, and eased personnel mobility under the “Sail” entry-exit program. A suite of 36 targeted policy packages supports enterprises, talent attraction, and citizen services. Reforms like “one-stop completion for key matters” have cut processing time by 56% and unnecessary procedures by 88%, signaling a highly efficient ecosystem for business operations.

Beijing has emerged as China's first “subtractive growth” megacity, prioritizing quality over scale. The city leads nationally with six private companies in the Fortune Global 500. Market unification reforms, anti-protectionism measures, and streamlined regulation foster a more competitive, efficient environment. Investment in international innovation hubs—Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area—further cements Beijing’s role as a global R&D and technology powerhouse.

Beijing has advanced comprehensive social programs, supporting 2.07 million seniors through 152 regional care centers, integrated community networks, home adaptations, and family doctor programs. Early childhood support is also expanding, with 28,600 families receiving monthly childcare subsidies, and 41,000 subsidized childcare spots now covering all neighborhoods. Public and community-based childcare, combined with health and education integration, illustrates a city designing inclusive, sustainable infrastructure for all generations.
