The Hunan Zhuzhou BeiDou Application International Cooperation Innovation Base Was Unveiled

The Beidou Application International Cooperation Innovation Base was inaugurated in Zhuzhou, Hunan on September 15. The base will focus on the internationalization needs of the Beidou industry, build channels for connecting domestic industries with overseas markets, and promote coordinated expansion of international business by enterprises. Public data show that as of the end of 2025, the overall output value of the Beidou navigation industry had approached 630 billion yuan. Beidou functions are now widely used in smartphones, wearable devices, and automobiles, and related products have been exported to more than 140 countries and regions around the world. Industry reports suggest that Beidou's “going global” is shifting from simple product exports to an integrated expansion of “products, solutions, services, and ecosystem.” According to the introduction, after the base begins formal operations, it will primarily focus on Africa while radiating to the world, carrying out work in international exchanges, industrial matchmaking, project cooperation, application promotion, and talent training, with a particular emphasis on serving smart mines, disaster prevention and mitigation, engineering construction, and other fields. At the Fifth Beidou LargeScale Application International Summit held the same day, 51 innovative achievements were also unveiled, and 14 major projects plus 1 strategic cooperation agreement were signed, with both the number and value of international cooperation projects reaching record highs across all editions.
