Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area holds a space computing enterprise symposium to discuss and plan the construction of a space computing innovation center

Odaily reports that Wang Lei, Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Director of the Administrative Committee of the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (BDA), chaired a symposium on space computing enterprises. During the meeting, he listened to suggestions from relevant enterprises on building Beijing Yizhuang into a highland for the space computing industry and discussed plans for constructing the space computing innovation center.

The attending entrepreneurs unanimously agreed that space computing represents a new track integrating commercial aerospace and the digital economy. It has emerged as a new frontier in global technological competition, carrying significant strategic value and commercial prospects. The BDA recently initiated the establishment of the Beijing Space Intelligent Computing Research Institute. This is a crucial step towards building a high-level Beijing Space Computing Innovation Center, a key move to transform the space computing industry from vision to reality. Enterprises will actively participate in the construction of the institute, leveraging their strengths in areas such as satellite manufacturing, computing chips, communication payloads, energy materials, software scheduling, and precision devices. They will collaborate to overcome key common technical challenges, including space-borne radiation-resistant chips, inter-satellite laser communication, and efficient thermal control and energy supply systems. The goal is to accelerate the in-orbit validation and large-scale networking of computing satellites, building a complete innovation and industrial chain of "constellation + terminal + service". This will promote the development of an autonomous, controllable, secure, and trustworthy space computing technology and standards system, contributing wisdom and strength to China's goal of becoming a leader in aerospace and cyberspace.
