The 2025 Zhongguancun Forum Annual Conference took place in Beijing on March 31, showcasing China's advancements in innovation and venture investment.

During this event, CVINFO, a prominent domestic platform for innovation financial information services, unveiled its inaugural "2024 Annual List of China's Most Venture Investment-Worthy Districts." This comprehensive study evaluated the venture capital investment climate and development quality across all county-level administrative regions and economic functional zones in China with a GDP surpassing 100 billion yuan.

Guangming District secured the 40th spot on this prestigious list, thanks to its robust momentum in technological innovation and the strategic clustering of emerging industries.

The ranking considered two primary criteria: the regional venture capital atmosphere and development quality. A total of 10 specific indicators were assessed, including levels of innovation and entrepreneurship, growth potential, economic development levels, and overall economic potential. The districts featured on the list have demonstrated significant progress in revitalizing traditional industries while fostering the growth of emerging sectors.

Notably, among the financing hotspots within the listed districts, three key areas emerged as leaders: electronic information, healthcare, and advanced manufacturing. These sectors alone accounted for an impressive 72.58% of new financing events leading up to 2024.

Data analysis indicated that Guangming District maintained a stable and upward trajectory in its economic development throughout the past year, reporting a regional GDP of 172 billion yuan, which reflects an 8.6% year-on-year increase based on constant prices. This growth is characterized by a value added of 208 million yuan from the primary industry, 115 billion yuan from the secondary industry (up 11.1% year-on-year), and 56.85 billion yuan from the tertiary sector (a growth of 3.8% year-on-year).
