I. The Context

With the approval of the State Council, the BDIAEZ is defined as a function-carrier area for international interaction, a leading area for national aviation technology innovation, and a demonstration area for coordinated development of Beijing.

It will take full advantage of Beijing Daxing International Airport, a new engine for China's development, and leverage its role to further the country's dual-circulation development pattern.

By promoting the strategic growth of high-quality development and gathering global entrepreneurs and innovative talents, the BDIAEZ will become a hub where global innovation resources can be connected and an opening-up platform for the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.

In this context, the BDIAEZ initiated the "Future City" Explorer Global Innovation Competition, in which the BDIAEZ will work with top universities and well-known institutions around the world to explore the innovative development of a "Future City".
