Annual Report on BEIJING-TIANJIN-HEBEI Development (2024)

Promoting high-quality industrial synergy is crucial for establishing the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) region as a pioneer in Chinese modernization. This report examines the progress, challenges, and pathways for such development, defining its core features as innovation-driven growth, optimized resource allocation, intensive production, and strong momentum. While progress is evident-with clearer regional division of labor and emerging industrial clusters-key challenges remain, including developmental imbalances, weak cluster development, and innovation-resource disparities. To address these, the report proposes deepening industry-innovation chain integration, strengthening key industrial chains, leveraging clusters to boost collaboration, enhancing free trade zone synergy, and fostering regional innovation networks to solidify BTH’s role as a demonstration zone for high-quality development.
