Zhongguancun Science Park in Beijing aims to be a globally influential innovation hub by enhancing its international presence and influence.

Established in 1988, it is the first national innovation demonstration zone in China. With more than two decades of development, the park has expanded to cover an area of 488 square kilometers. The total revenue of high-tech enterprises in the park reached 4.08 trillion yuan ($612 billion) last year, a 13.2 percent increase year-on-year, and about 2.6 times the revenue in 2010, according to the administrative committee of the park.
