On January 15, the Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission held a press conference on its first-quarter policy measures aimed at achieving a "good start." At the conference, Wang Danli, Director of the Investment Department, announced that in 2026, Beijing will continue to implement the "3x100" municipal key projects initiative, comprising 300 key municipal projects with a total investment exceeding 1.4 trillion yuan. The planned investment for 2026 is approximately 312.8 billion yuan, supporting over 30% of the city's total investment.
Among the "3x100" key municipal projects are 100 major scientific and technological innovation and modern industrial projects, including the second and third phases of the Tsinghua Nankou National Key Base, the Sanofi biologics active pharmaceutical ingredient industrialization project, and the core area renovation of the permanent venue for the China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) in Shougang Park.
The list also includes 100 major infrastructure projects, such as the Northeast Ring Line of the suburban railway, the Beijing-Xiong'an Expressway urban connection line, and the Xifengshan Reservoir.
Additionally, there are 100 major projects focused on improving people's livelihoods, including the new Fangshan campus of Beijing University of Technology, the Daxing campus of Anding Hospital, and the Beijing Art Museum.
Of the 300 projects, 180 are scheduled as ongoing projects, while 120 are new projects. Investment from social and private sources is expected to account for no less than 70% of the total investment.
Concurrently, 200 major projects slated for implementation in subsequent years have been listed as preliminary advancement projects, with efforts to push a batch of them to start construction ahead of schedule in 2026.
Wang Danli stated that this year, Beijing will adhere to using scientific and technological innovation to lead the development of new quality productive forces, accelerating the enhancement of strengths and cultivation of new opportunities in the modern industrial system.
The city will also focus on optimizing structure, strengthening functionality, promoting integration, and enhancing resilience to accelerate the modernization of infrastructure by addressing weaknesses and improving quality and efficiency.
Furthermore, investment in physical assets will be closely integrated with investment in human capital to accelerate the optimization of layout and expansion of supply in people's livelihood safeguards.
Efforts will be made to promote coordinated development between urban and rural areas, accelerating the shaping of functions and improvement of quality in key regions.
Finally, with reform and innovation as the fundamental driving force, the city will accelerate efforts to strengthen the momentum and vitality of private investment.
