Beijing’s artificial intelligence sector is projected to achieve unprecedented growth with industrial output expected to exceed 450 billion yuan ($63.6 billion) by the conclusion of 2025, according to an official white paper released by municipal authorities. The comprehensive industry report, jointly published by the Beijing Science & Technology Commission and the Administrative Commission of Zhongguancun Science Park, reveals remarkable expansion metrics for the first half of the year, with sector output reaching 215.22 billion yuan—representing a substantial 25.3 percent year-on-year increase.
The Chinese capital has solidified its position as the nation’s premier AI hub, hosting more than 2,500 specialized enterprises and 183 registered large-scale AI models. Industry analysts note that Beijing’s innovation ecosystem has matured significantly, developing what the white paper describes as ‘a globally competitive industrial chain’ that spans research, development, and commercialization phases.
Technological breakthroughs continue to emerge from the region, including the recent launch of Bohrium by the AI for Science Institute. This pioneering platform claims to be the world’s first comprehensive AI research system capable of managing the entire scientific process from literature review through computation, experimentation, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
Commercial applications are demonstrating robust performance, with leading technology firms including Baidu and Douyin reporting record-breaking revenue figures and user engagement metrics. The successful monetization pathways underscore the sector’s transition from experimental development to sustainable economic contribution, positioning Beijing at the forefront of global AI innovation and implementation.
