Beijing is set to host the 2026 Zhongguancun Forum (ZGC Forum) from March 25 to 29, marking one of Asia's most anticipated tech innovation events this year. Organized under the theme "Full Integration Between Technological and Industrial Innovation," the forum will convene global leaders, researchers, and businesses to explore synergies shaping tomorrow's economies.
What to Expect
This year's agenda includes five core components: forum conferences, technology trade fairs, achievement releases, frontier competitions, and supporting events. Highlights include the opening ceremony plenary session, parallel forums on emerging technologies, and the Grand Final of the Zhongguancun International Advanced Technology Innovation Competition.
Global Collaboration Focus
Jointly organized by China's Ministry of Science and Technology, National Development and Reform Commission, and Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the forum aims to strengthen cross-border partnerships. Since its 2007 founding with the permanent theme "Innovation and Development," it has grown into a high-level platform for advancing global scientific collaboration.
Strategic Impact
With over 18 years of legacy, the ZGC Forum continues to drive discussions on AI, green energy, and advanced manufacturing. Its 2026 edition is expected to attract thousands of overseas investors and multinational firms, reinforcing Beijing's role as a hub for tech-driven industrial transformation.
