On November 16, at the 2025 AI+ Conference, the first batch of “Zhongguancun AI Enterprise Overseas Service Ports” were officially inaugurated. Four institutions – Zhongguancun Development Group, Zhongguancun Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Youth Innovation Center, Beijing TusPark Incubator, and Zhongguancun Science City Company – became the first designated entities. They will focus on addressing the practical challenges and common difficulties faced by AI companies expanding overseas, helping domestic artificial intelligence enterprises achieve global market expansion.
The first batch of designated institutions will establish a coordinated service system comprising “Overseas Service Ports” and “Overseas Service Stations” that covers both domestic and international needs. The “Overseas Service Ports” primarily provide one-stop services for AI companies before going global, including policy consultation, compliance training, and document pre-review. The “Overseas Service Stations” are established overseas, providing local resource connections, market channel expansion, supply-demand matching, emergency support, and rights protection services, serving as forward outposts for companies in foreign markets.
“This service system directly addresses the pain points of companies expanding overseas,” said a relevant official from the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission and Zhongguancun Management Committee. “Before going global, companies unfamiliar with policies, unsure about filing procedures, or unclear about qualification applications can get comprehensive answers at the ‘Overseas Service Ports.’ Once established overseas, from resource connection and market expansion to emergency rights protection, the ‘Overseas Service Stations’ will become reliable local support, achieving full-process service coverage from ‘guidance before going global to support after going global.'”
These four institutions were selected as the first designated entities because each has unique expertise. Among them, Zhongguancun Development Group, selected as one of the first “Overseas Service Ports” for Zhongguancun AI enterprises, will establish domestic and international coordinated service mechanisms, gather high-quality resources in the domestic large model field, and connect with overseas application scenarios such as smart cities, digital infrastructure, and smart manufacturing, comprehensively empowering Beijing AI companies’ global expansion.
“First, we will establish the ‘Zhongguancun AI Enterprise Overseas Service Station (ASEAN)’ in the ASEAN region, continuously promoting the large-scale application of Zhongguancun AI innovation achievements in ASEAN markets,” revealed a relevant official from Zhongguancun Development Group. Currently, this service station has connected with 20 companies including Glodon, Galaxy Robot, Tongfang Dingxin, Dawn Digital Innovation, Zhipu AI, and Huasheng Tiancheng, reaching 7 cooperation intentions; it has also connected with nearly 10 key projects and scenario requirements such as Singapore’s smart transportation, Malaysia’s data centers, and Indonesia’s digital government.
In recent years, Zhongguancun Development Group has leveraged its advantages to provide strong support for overseas-expanding companies participating in international cooperation and competition. It has successively established overseas innovation centers in major innovation hubs across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, built overseas fund systems, and created a trinity full-chain service platform comprising “cross-border incubation services + overseas investment services + cross-border landing acceleration services.” This has established a cross-border incubation network for innovative technology achievements transformation targeting universities, research institutions, and technology enterprises, serving global small and medium-sized technology companies and startups, and building an open and win-win innovation ecosystem. To date, it has deployed over 20 global innovation network nodes, incubated and served more than 300 companies, participated in establishing over 10 overseas funds with a total scale exceeding $1 billion.
