Zhu Jiang, Executive Deputy General Manager of Beijing Haixinyu Urban Renewal Group Co., Ltd.: Data is a key underlying element of AI | 2025 AI Partner Conference
The year 2025 marks the beginning of the explosive growth of AI applications. As the global AI competition enters the "China Moment," a profound technological transformation is quietly reshaping the industrial landscape. At this critical juncture, the industry faces core questions: How can we bridge the gap between AI technology and large - scale applications? Where will the next disruptive AI super - application be born?
On April 18th, the 2025 AI Partner Conference, hosted by 36Kr, grandly opened at the Modu Space in Shanghai. The theme of this conference was "The Arrival of Super Apps," focusing on the disruptive transformation of AI applications in all industries. The conference was divided into two major chapters: "The Arrival of Super Apps" and "Who Will Be the Next Super App," covering seven topics such as "Growing Up in the AI World" and "In 2025, Compete in AI with Super Apps." It included more than 10 keynote speeches, 3 round - table discussions, and two sessions for releasing the lists of excellent AI case enterprises, deeply analyzing how AI technology reconstructs business logic and reshapes the industrial landscape, and exploring the infinite possibilities brought by AI super - applications.
On that day, Zhu Jiang, the executive deputy general manager of Beijing Haixinyu Urban Renewal Group Co., Ltd., shared his insights on the industrial trends in his speech titled "Digital - Real Integration and Comprehensive Intelligent Transformation."

Dear friends, good afternoon! I am very grateful to 36Kr for providing this communication platform, which gives me the opportunity to share our practices and thoughts on digital - real integration and comprehensive intelligent transformation. As a member of the Department of Electronic Engineering at Tsinghua University, today I will avoid in - depth technical discussions. Instead, I will introduce our experiences from the perspectives of practical applications and industrial ecosystems through our own cases.
Zhu Jiang, the executive deputy general manager of Beijing Haixinyu Urban Renewal Group Co., Ltd.
Haiguotou Group is a state - owned enterprise under the jurisdiction of Haidian District and the largest state - owned capital platform in the region, currently managing assets worth 210 billion yuan. The group has 17 subsidiaries, and its business covers five major sectors: urban services, financial investment, low - carbon environmental protection, culture and education, and artificial intelligence. In the industrial development of Haidian District, Haixinyu Group, a first - level supervised enterprise of Haiguotou, plays an important role, especially in the management and operation of industrial space assets, the development of data elements, and the promotion of dual - carbon business.
Currently, Haixinyu operates 1.4 million square meters of space assets within Haidian District, and with the assets outside the district, the total area reaches 2.4 million square meters. These space resources form three characteristic industrial clusters: The first is the pharmaceutical and health industrial park, which accounts for more than half of the total space assets of state - owned and private enterprises in Haidian District. The second is the artificial intelligence and integrated circuit corridor, which relies on the resources of universities such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, and Renmin University of China, with a significant industrial agglomeration effect. Representatives from local governments outside Beijing have intensively visited many large - model enterprises within a 3 - kilometer radius in Haidian District. The third is the urban renewal demonstration area centered around the Dongfanghong Satellite Factory. It is not only a popular industrial park in Beijing but also a breeding ground for many well - known enterprises. Xiaopeng Motors, Saimu Technology (listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on January 15, 2024, the first listed enterprise in Haidian District that year), Tsinghua Lingxi Technology (focusing on brain - computer chip research and development), Beijing General Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, Tsinghua University Vitasense Intelligence Research Institute, and Beijing Satellite Institute (focusing on blockchain and edge computing) are all developing here, and some of these research institutes have even attracted the attention and on - site investigations of national leaders.
When talking about the current development of the AI industry, people often focus on large models, algorithms, applications, and computing power. However, I believe that data is the core underlying element for AI development. In recent years, the state has attached great importance to the construction of data elements and has successively introduced policies such as the "20 Measures for Data," the "Three - Year Action Plan for Data Elements ×", the regulations on the authorized operation of public data, and the guidelines for including data assets in the balance sheet. It has also clearly proposed a management framework of "separation of three rights" for data ownership, operation rights, and development and trading rights. At the application level, the National Data Bureau and Beijing Municipality have sorted out several typical scenarios, and Beijing has added four more scenarios on this basis, forming 16 key data application directions. As the implementing entity in Haidian District, Haixinyu focuses on developing data scenarios in the three major fields of medical health, education, and scientific innovation, aiming to build them into key data operation zones in Beijing.
It is worth mentioning that the combination of artificial intelligence and data elements has become an industry consensus. According to Academician Zhang, the chief expert of the National Data Bureau, currently, the data available on the Internet only accounts for 4% of the world's total data, and a large amount of vertical domain data has not been fully explored. This is also the bottleneck faced by the global development of large models - data scarcity. The United States alleviates this problem through synthetic data, while China is working hard to build a vertical domain data development system and integrate it into AI algorithm and model training. DeepSeek was the first to respond, setting a benchmark for the industry, and it is expected that more enterprises will follow suit.
In the practical implementation of artificial intelligence, Haixinyu actively participates in explorations in multiple fields, including the research and development of humanoid robots, the construction of artificial intelligence standards, the development of AI - native applications, and the formulation of high - quality data sets. At the same time, the group strongly supports the development of new research institutions through its industrial park resources and jointly provides financial support with the Zhongguancun Administrative Committee. In the past three years, Haiguotou has successively invested 5 billion yuan in the management of the Zhongguancun Artificial Intelligence Big Fund in the NLP field. After the Spring Festival in 2024, it announced an additional investment of 9.9 billion yuan, which shows its high - level attention to the AI industry.
The integration of data elements and artificial intelligence is essentially an embodiment of new - quality productivity, and scenario - driven and digital - real integration are its core paths. Taking Haidian District as an example, significant breakthroughs have been made in the medical and health field. Relying on its geographical advantages, Haixinyu has carried out in - depth cooperation with the National Healthcare Security Administration, the National Medical Products Administration, and the National Health Commission. Among them, the team led by Academician Dong Jiahong of Tsinghua University spent eight years managing the data of 43 specialized diseases from more than 300 top - level tertiary hospitals across the country, forming a high - quality data set of 600,000 cases. However, medical data has multi - modal characteristics (covering diverse information such as images and medical consultations), and the accuracy of the original data is less than 50%, which has a huge gap compared with the 95% accuracy required by large models. Through long - term data cleaning and structuring, this problem has been gradually solved. In addition, the National Healthcare Security Administration has located its data center and operation rights in Haidian, laying the foundation for the future "integration of medical services, medical insurance, and pharmaceuticals," which is expected to give rise to diversified applications such as intelligent auxiliary diagnosis, remote diagnosis and treatment, and medical device research and development.
In terms of data infrastructure construction, on January 8, 2025, Haidian District officially established the Data Element Comprehensive Service Center and the Haidian Data Element Scenario Laboratory, building a full - chain service system covering data governance, authorization, circulation and trading, and asset management. This platform follows the "comprehensive integration + characteristics" model, aiming to solve the key problems of data being "available, flowing smoothly, used effectively, and kept secure." Through the construction of a trusted data space, the platform will promote the proportion of industry data on the Internet to increase from the current 4%, while ensuring data security and privacy.
In the future, Haixinyu plans to focus on building five major application scenarios, and the medical and health field has taken the lead in implementation. Relying on the data platform, we will develop applications such as AI intelligent auxiliary diagnosis, medical consultations, and health monitoring, and support the research and development of medical devices and new drugs, intelligent medical services, and innovation in medical insurance and commercial insurance products. In addition, the group also plans to build a data intelligent agent incubation platform, aiming to become the "Taobao platform" in the field of AI Agents, aggregating developers and users of vertical domain intelligent agents and providing a safe and controllable cooperation environment for all parties through a standardized data management mechanism.
Looking back at the industrial development advantages of Haidian District, they are mainly reflected in three aspects: First, there is a dense concentration of universities and research institutions, providing a source of innovation for technological development. Second, high - tech enterprises are highly concentrated. 70% of the artificial intelligence enterprises in China are located in Beijing, and 70% of the artificial intelligence enterprises in Beijing are concentrated in Haidian, creating a dual siphon effect for talent and industry. Third, the policy support is unprecedented. Since 2023, artificial intelligence has become the "No. 1 project" in Haidian District, with continuous reinforcement of supporting policies and funds, providing fertile ground for enterprise development.
Taking Haixinyu's own practice as an example, we have achieved remarkable results in mining the value of data assets. In April 2024, we selected the data of park energy management and vehicle access management for a pilot project. After data governance and evaluation, the monthly data was included in the balance sheet with a value of 1.01 million yuan, and the overall value given by the third - party evaluation agency reached 22.69 million yuan, with a premium of up to 22 times. This result not only verifies the huge potential of data assets but also provides experience for realizing value monetization through bank credit enhancement, data trust, and other means in the future. As the first green data asset inclusion case in Beijing, this project also incorporates the concept of carbon neutrality, which is of exemplary significance.
In addition, Haixinyu is deeply involved in the construction of industry standards, becoming one of the first member units of the National Data Standards Committee. It participates in the drafting of multiple national and group standards and supports the construction of the Shenyang National - level Data Annotation Base. Different from traditional low - to - medium - end data annotation, Haidian District focuses on high - end data annotation. For high - value data such as medical and health data, it conducts annotation work in cooperation with expert teams. At the same time, it cooperates with the District Human Resources and Social Security Bureau to build a talent training base, providing employment channels for college graduates.
In terms of industrial ecosystem construction, in September 2024, we took the lead in establishing the first data element ecological industry alliance in Beijing. Currently, the alliance has gathered four council - chairing units such as the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology and the China Electronics Standardization Institute, and nine leading large - model enterprises as vice - council - chairing units, with the number of ecological enterprises exceeding 200. In the future, we sincerely invite the enterprises and experts present here to join the alliance to jointly improve the data element industrial chain. Riding on the wave of AI development, we can achieve a win - win situation of enterprise growth and industrial upgrading in the innovative hotbed of Haidian.
I believe that from Haidian Guotou to the Haidian District Government and the Zhongguancun Administrative Committee, they will provide you with maximum support. I hope to work with you to seize the opportunity of artificial intelligence. Let's work together to become unicorns, go public, and achieve success. Thank you!
