Xiong'an, China (ANTARA/Xinhua-AsiaNet)- Recently, the parallel forum of the 2026 ZGC Forum - the Xiong'an "Artificial Intelligence+" Industry Ecosystem Integration Development Forum - was held in Xiong'an New Area. More than 400 experts in the field of artificial intelligence, industry leaders, and representatives of investment institutions from around the world gathered together to discuss the development of the AI industry and explore opportunities for Beijing-Xiong'an collaborative innovation, under the theme of "Beijing-Xiong ' an Intelligent Innovation and Ecosystem Integration."

At the forum, an overview of Xiong'an New Area's artificial intelligence industry development and its policy support system was presented, with a package of enterprise-friendly measures unveiled, covering everything from research and development support to scenario-based applications. Collaborative innovation achievements between Beijing and Xiong'an, key application scenarios, and the "Open Competition Mechanism to Select the Best Candidates" list were also released simultaneously, charting the course for industrial collaboration from three dimensions: achievement demonstration, scenario application, and technological breakthroughs. A number of initiatives were collectively inaugurated, including Beijing-Xiong'an collaborative science and technology projects, investment projects under the Xiong'an Fund, enterprises settling in the Xiong'an Zhongguancun Park, and key innovation platforms. In addition, the Xiong'an New Area "Hundred Models Competition" was officially launched.
