一、排名结果与规模概览1. Ranking and scale
北京集群估计人口约2,019万（20,191,125人），在进入百强的25个中国集群中排名第3位。在2026年世界百强创新集群排行榜中，它凭借PCT申请、科学出版物和风险投资交易三项指标的综合表现位列第4位。
The Beijing cluster has an estimated population of about 20.19 million (20,191,125) and ranks second among the 25 Chinese clusters in the top 100. In the 2026 ranking of the world’s top 100 innovation clusters, it ranks 4th on the strength of its combined performance across three indicators: PCT applications, scientific publications and venture capital deals.
唯一计数计入每件有本地发明人或作者参与的专利或科学论文；分数计数按本地贡献者份额分摊，避免跨集群重复计算。
Unique counts include every patent or scientific article involving a local inventor or author. Fractional counts apportion each patent or scientific article according to the share of local contributors, which avoids double-counting across clusters.
二、产业驱动的专利版图
2. An industry-driven patent landscape
从技术领域看，该集群的PCT申请以信息通信技术领域为主。数字通信占PCT申请的33%，计算机技术占19%，两者合计超过五成。半导体和音像技术各占7%，光学、测量和电信各占3%。
By technology field, the cluster’s PCT applications are concentrated mainly in ICT. Digital communication accounts for 33% of PCT applications and computer technology for 19%, together more than half. Semiconductors and audio-visual technology account for 7% each, and optics, measurement and telecommunications for 3% each.
