Dubbed the “Future Science City”, district officials said the Changping facility – located in northern Beijing – will build public service platforms and robotics innovation enterprises to support the automation industry.

According to the bureau, two sites of the robotics industrial park are currently under construction, covering a total area of about 56,000m² (602,779 sq ft).

The People’s Government of Beijing Municipality said, “the economy and information technology bureau of Changping stated that the district is home to 41 colleges and universities, which can offer solid talent and intellectual support for the advancement of the robotics industry.”

The sites in Changping district are expected to be completed in the first half of 2026.

Construction on another park in Yizhuang, on Beijing’s southern end, has not yet started.

Financial and contractor information for the projects was not available.

The Beijing municipal government, in 2023, was reported as committing US$1.4 billion to a robotics fund.
