On February 28, the Information Office of the Beijing Municipal Government released the "Beijing Embodied Intelligence Science and Technology Innovation and Industry Cultivation Action Plan (2025-2027)" to promote the development of embodied intelligence technology.
It is reported that Beijing currently has about 2,400 artificial intelligence-related enterprises, accounting for 40% of the national total, among which there are 36 unicorn enterprises, more than half of the national total. In 2024, the scale of Beijing's core artificial intelligence industry exceeded 300 billion yuan, achieving the three-year development goal ahead of schedule. The "Action Plan" points out that by the end of 2027, Beijing is expected to break through over 100 key technologies in embodied intelligence and produce no less than 10 internationally leading software and hardware products.
Beijing has established a government investment fund with a total scale of 100 billion yuan and a duration of 15 years, focusing on supporting future industries such as artificial intelligence and robotics, and actively guiding social capital to invest in key common technology research and industrialization projects.
It is learned that Beijing has promoted the construction of a number of large-scale intelligent computing clusters, and several clusters with over 10,000 computing cards have been built. Nearly 30% of the national key laboratories in the field of artificial intelligence have been established in Beijing. The first batch of 23 Beijing key laboratories in the field of artificial intelligence have been recognized, and four world-class new research institutions have been prospectively laid out.
In the next step, Beijing will take the "Action Plan" as a guide, closely follow the cutting-edge of artificial intelligence technology, give full play to the advantages of Beijing's innovation resources, strengthen departmental coordination and resource integration, and promote the deep integration of embodied intelligence technology innovation and industry cultivation.
