EXPLORE
Explore the ecosystem
Six doors into what we do.
01 · WHY STARTUP ALLIANCE
The only ecosystem of its kind in Beijing
Six things no single institution, park or program offers together.
Beijing's first park dedicated to foreign founders
A dedicated physical home: workspace, showcase, events and services in one place.
Government-guided, independently operated
Direct policy access through ITCP — with the speed of a private operating team.
Built by and for global founders
An international team that has done it itself — bilingual, cross-cultural, founder-first.
Six-in-one support in one place
Policy, space, capital, incubation, application scenarios and community — one entry point.
¥50M dedicated capital
Lingxin Capital × Junyuan Capital: seed to Series A for international founders.
A competition pipeline
Direct routes into ITEC and HICOOL — from pitch to awards to landing support.
Beijing offers the opportunity. Chaoyang brings the support together.

CASE STUDIES
What this looks like in practice
Building the International Student Entrepreneurship Development Center
With UIBE and partner universities, we connect campus communities, venture training and mentors — so international students in Beijing move from interest and ideas to validated projects. The co-built base with UIBE turns campus talent into a steady venture pipeline.
Making policy usable for founders
We turned Chaoyang's 15 measures into a founder-readable support map, then run fit checks, category matching, evidence preparation, submission coordination and follow-up with the talent authorities — and promote the policies through Startup Saturday briefings and one-on-one sessions.
From competition stage to landed company
Through ITEC and HICOOL routes, winning ventures move from pitch to landing. Drivesec went from ITEC and HICOOL 2025 award-winner to a registered company in the park, holding three granted patents.
