Great to learn about Beijing’s New Pilot Free Trade Zone and meet some awesome entrepreneurs, investors and Beijing Chaoyang High-Level Talents Service Center

In September 2020, China approved three new pilot FTZs in Beijing and Hunan and Anhui provinces, increasing the total number of such zones in China to 21. Like previous ones, each of the newest FTZs has its own development priorities. For example, the Beijing FTZ will focus on supporting the construction of an innovation center with global influence; the Hunan FTZ will build a world-class advanced manufacturing cluster and an international investment and trade corridor linking different areas; and the Anhui FTZ will promote the in-depth integration of scientific and technological innovation and the development of the real economy.
Unlike other FTZs in China, which mostly center on trade in goods, the Beijing FTZ prioritizes the technological innovation, service and digital economy sectors, and is dedicated to the development of talented human resources, Liu Jing, Director of Beijing Chaoyang High-Level Talents Service Center, told Beijing Review.
