Beijing's transformation into a global science and technology innovation center is accelerating regional integration in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei cluster. The initiative boosts collaborative R&D, industrial upgrading, and smart infrastructure development while addressing environmental and public service challenges. Current progress shows strengthened innovation networks between core and peripheral cities, with Beijing leading in R&D and neighboring areas specializing in manufacturing. However, obstacles remain in technology diffusion, regional disparities, and industrial chain development....

Based on systematically reviewing the theoretical foundations of deep integration of industrial and innovation chains, this book summarizes the main issues faced in the integrated development of industrial and innovation chains in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and proposes pathways and measures in terms of institutional mechanisms. This book is a translated version of BEIJING-TIANJIN-HEBEI Development Report (2021) - Integrated Development of Industrial Chains and Innovation Chains. The authors are Tanglin Ye, Guoliang Li, et al., and the translators are Chang Liu, Tianyi Li, Zhe Dong,...

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,...
