Xinglian Capital is a venture capital fund focusing on the large model ecosystem, with an emphasis on early - stage investments and connections with industries.
On March 29th, 2026, the special forum "AI Future Forum: Leapfrog, Investment, and Symbiosis" on the "Artificial Intelligence Theme Day" of the Zhongguancun Forum Annual Conference was successfully held at the Zhongguancun International Innovation Center. Xinglian Capital signed an agreement to innovatively establish a "Five - Party, Six - Force" collaborative mechanism in Haidian District.
The forum integrated strategic releases, capital aggregation, cutting - edge dialogues, and results 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. 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, a total of more than 600 people, participated in the forum.
Accumulate Momentum and Empower
Build the "City with the Greatest 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 taking an open attitude and making systematic arrangements to fully build the "City with the Greatest Investment Value".
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 Capital, signed contracts as investment ecosystem partners.
The agglomeration area was built by Haidian District to systematically gather top - notch global venture capital and science and technology innovation 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". Top - notch talents spontaneously gather here 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 technology companies, sowing the seeds of science and technology innovation in a vast "scenario test field". It links up with capital to accurately detect cutting - edge trends and capture innovation value. So far, it has facilitated the connection of more than 400 cutting - edge university technologies with capital, becoming a sensitive "capital detector". At the same time, through the "workstation system" and turn - key settlement services, it gathers high - quality investment institutions and science and technology innovation service resources, enabling innovative enterprises to obtain full - factor 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 establishes 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 and technology 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 channels from the laboratory to the market. At the event site, seven investment institutions deeply involved in the source innovation of universities, including Wuyuefeng Ventures, Tsinghua Alumni Seed Fund, Qifu Capital, Shoucheng Capital, Songhe Capital, Fosun Capital, and Xinglian Capital, officially signed contracts. At the same time, nearly 30 cooperative funds have been accumulated in reserve. This measure will give full play to the value power of 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 Group, a leading third - party institution in the domestic private equity investment field, released the "ChinaVenture List: 2025 Annual List of Chinese Districts with the Greatest Venture Capital Value". With outstanding performances in eleven core dimensions such as economic development level, science and technology innovation and quality of life, innovation and entrepreneurship level, and venture capital activity, Haidian has led the country for two consecutive years, empirically demonstrating the hard - core strength and strong attractiveness of Haidian as the "City with the Greatest Investment Value" through data.
Ecological Cohesion
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 Assets Management Co., Ltd., released the "Panoramic View of Beijing's Artificial Intelligence Industry Innovation and Development and Investment Ecosystem", showing that with state - owned capital as the guide, core elements such as industries, technologies, and talents are aggregated, and a full - chain patient capital matrix is built around new - quality productivity tracks such as artificial intelligence, 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 security. The Haidian Branch of the Beijing Public Security Bureau released new measures to escort high - quality development under the theme of "Intelligent Protection for Science and Technology Innovation, Securing 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 launched measures for the construction of the Haidian District Cybersecurity Community, focusing on "strengthening the foundation, building a protective wall, and creating a training ground". Nine joint cyber - security police - enterprise studios were established, a professional team of cyber - security police liaison officers was formed, and a dedicated security tool kit was launched to promote the transformation of cyber - security from "single - point defense" to "co - governance and sharing", injecting strong police force into Beijing's efforts to build a world - class artificial intelligence industry high - ground.
