Building "The Most Investment-Worthy City": Top Capitals Gather in Haidian to Discuss the Leapfrog Development and Symbiosis of the AI Industry

"StarLink Capital" is a venture capital fund focusing on the large model ecosystem, emphasizing early - stage investments and connecting industries.

On March 29th, the special forum "AI Future Forum: Leapfrog, Investment, Symbiosis" of the "Artificial Intelligence Theme Day" at the 2026 Zhongguancun Forum Annual Conference was successfully held at the Zhongguancun International Innovation Center. StarLink Capital signed an agreement to innovatively construct a "Five - Party, Six - Force" collaborative mechanism in Haidian District.

The forum integrated strategic release, capital aggregation, frontier dialogues, and result displays, achieving in - depth resonance among capital, technology, and industries. Shu Bilei, the Deputy Secretary - General of the Beijing Municipal People's Government, Zeng Linfeng, the Deputy Director in charge of daily work at the Beijing Municipal Party Committee's Financial Affairs Office, and Zhang Ge, the Secretary of the Haidian District Party Committee, attended the forum and delivered speeches. More than 600 people participated in the forum, including Fabrizio Hochschild, the former Deputy Secretary - General of the United Nations and Special Advisor to the Secretary - General, Jack Perry, the Chairman of the 48 Group Club in the UK and Executive Chairman of LEC Robotics, representatives from well - known leading investment institutions such as Sequoia China, Hillhouse Capital, Matrix Partners, GGV Capital, and GSR Ventures, representatives from AI companies such as Zhipu, Zidong Taichu, and Shengshu Technology, as well as media personnel.

Accumulate Momentum and Empower

Build the "City with the Most Investment Value"

At the critical juncture when artificial intelligence is moving from technological explosion to industrial implementation, the confidence of capital is the vane of industrial development. Haidian District is making every effort to build the "City with the Most Investment Value" with an open attitude and systematic layout.

At the event site, an important moment arrived for the International Innovation Service Agglomeration Area of Zhongguancun Science City. Six leading investment institutions, including Sequoia China, Hillhouse Capital, Matrix Partners, GGV Capital, GSR Ventures, and Zhenzhi Venture Capital, signed agreements as investment ecosystem partners.

The agglomeration area was built by Haidian District to systematically gather top - notch global venture capital and science - tech service resources. Its aim is to create a venture capital center for global cutting - edge technologies, build an efficient collaborative ecosystem of "talent - technology - scenario - capital", and maximize the acceleration of innovation. Relying on the geographical advantage of being adjacent to Peking University and Tsinghua University, the agglomeration area creates a vibrant "talent source coordinate", where top - notch talents gather spontaneously and interact frequently. More than 30 talent community activities have been held intensively in the past month. It constructs a high - level "technology gravitational field" to promote the open exchange and cross - integration of cutting - edge technologies. It jointly builds an innovation ecosystem with 180 industry benchmarks such as Audi, MTR, Schneider, and BASF, opens up scenario requirements, and promotes the technological application and implementation of 251 science - tech enterprises, sowing the seeds of science - tech innovation in a vast "scenario test field". It links up with capital to accurately detect the frontier trends and capture innovation value, and has facilitated the connection between more than 400 cutting - edge university technologies and capital, becoming a sensitive "capital detector". At the same time, through the "work - station system" and turn - key service, it gathers high - quality investment institutions and science - tech service resources, enabling innovative enterprises to obtain full - element and full - link growth support at a close distance and accelerating the full - cycle development from incubation to industrialization.

Breaking through the "last mile" of scientific and technological achievement transformation is the key to activating industrial momentum. Haidian District innovatively constructs a "Five - Party, Six - Force" collaborative mechanism, linking up five major entities: Zhongguancun Science City, universities and research institutes, investment funds, local sub - districts, and science - tech parks. Driven by the integration of six forces: organizational power, innovation power, value power, cultivation power, carrying power, and market power, it breaks through the key channel from the laboratory to the market. At the event site, seven investment institutions deeply involved in the source innovation of universities, including Wuyuefeng Venture Capital, Tsinghua Alumni Seed Fund, Qifu Capital, Shoucheng Capital, Songhe Capital, Fosun Fortune Capital, and StarLink Capital, officially signed agreements, and nearly 30 cooperative funds have been accumulated in reserve. This initiative will give full play to the value power of the funds, implement the precise layout of "one department, one fund", and help scientific and technological achievements move from the laboratory to industrialization.

In addition, ChinaVenture, a leading third - party institution in the domestic private equity investment field, released the "ChinaVenture List · 2025 List of China's Most Venture - Capital - Valuable Urban Areas". With outstanding performance in eleven core dimensions such as economic development level, science - tech and living quality, innovation and entrepreneurship level, and venture capital activity, Haidian has led the country for two consecutive years, empirically proving the hard - core strength and strong attractiveness of Haidian as the "City with the Most Investment Value" through data.

Ecological Aggregation of Forces

Comprehensive Escort to Activate Industrial Momentum

The prosperity of the industry cannot be separated from the escort of the ecosystem. Guo Chuan, the Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager of Beijing State - owned Capital Management Center, released the "Panoramic View of Beijing's Artificial Intelligence Industry Innovation and Development and Investment Ecosystem", demonstrating the construction of a full - chain patient capital matrix around new - quality productivity tracks such as artificial intelligence by aggregating core elements such as industries, technologies, and talents with state - owned capital as the guide, and continuously injecting new momentum into the high - quality development of the capital's AI industry.

The story of Zhongguancun is wonderful because of its openness and reassuring because of its safety. The Haidian Branch of the Beijing Public Security Bureau released new measures to escort high - quality development, namely "Intelligent Protection for Science - Tech Innovation, Secure the Future". It introduced ten entry - exit facilitation measures for the "Haijing · Artificial Intelligence" program, specifically tailored for the AI industry, providing an upgraded service package, opening up a "fast lane" for cross - border talent exchange, and building a full - chain, three - dimensional, and convenient foreign - related service system. At the same time, it introduced measures for the construction of the Haidian District Cybersecurity Community, focusing on "strengthening the foundation, building a protective wall, and creating a training ground". It established nine joint cybersecurity police - enterprise studios, formed a professional team of cyber police liaison officers, and launched an exclusive security tool package, promoting cybersecurity from "single - point defense" to "co - governance and shared security", injecting strong public security momentum into Beijing's effort to build a world - class artificial intelligence industrial high - ground.

Embark on the Infinite Future of the AI Industry Together

From the solemn signing of strategic agreements to the ideological collisions in in - depth dialogues; from the systematic layout of ecological releases to the hard - core presentation of frontier displays - this forum is not only a feast of ideas but also a deep resonance of "capital, technology, and industry" in one.

When leading capitals such as Sequoia China, Hillhouse Capital, Matrix Partners, GGV Capital, GSR Ventures, and Zhenzhi Venture Capital collectively turn their attention to Haidian and "bet" on this innovative hot - spot with real money; when the "Five - Party, Six - Force" collaborative mechanism effectively breaks through the key bottlenecks in achievement transformation at the practical level; when scientists, investors, and entrepreneurs in the global AI field gather here to have in - depth cross - border discussions on the future of AI - an innovation picture focusing on Haidian and looking forward to the future of AI is slowly unfolding.

Ultimately, the leapfrog of technology, the flow of capital, and the symbiosis of industries all point to the same core: people. With the firm belief of "investing in people and investing in the future", Haidian is transforming the grand blueprint into solid actions and turning the broad consensus
