Official Announcement! Beijing CBD Welcomes Two Major New Members
Good news!
Recently, two heavyweight organizations—the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and the CFA Institute (USA)—have officially established a presence in Beijing CBD.
1. Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC)
As the frontier of Beijing’s opening-up, a key hub for international exchanges, and one of the world’s leading international business districts, Beijing CBD has long attracted global energy giants and multinational corporations. In China’s ongoing green transformation, the area offers vast market opportunities.
Recently, ADNOC announced the establishment of its Beijing office, marking a new stage in energy cooperation between ADNOC and China.ADNOC is a leading diversified energy and petrochemical group, wholly owned by the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The Beijing office will focus on sales and marketing activities in China, deepening long-term business relationships with Chinese clients and partners, and opening new opportunities for Chinese petroleum equipment companies to participate in global energy cooperation.
“Establishing our office in China marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in our long-term energy collaboration with Chinese partners and clients,”
said Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, Managing Director and Group CEO of ADNOC.
“We look forward to further strengthening commercial ties, unlocking opportunities across the energy value chain, and enhancing cooperation in areas such as oil and gas exploration, green transition, and digital transformation. Together, we can drive high-quality growth in the energy sector, bolster China’s energy security, and contribute to sustainable global economic development.”
2. CFA Institute (USA)
On April 17, the CFA Institute officially registered its Beijing Representative Office in Beijing CBD, receiving the Representative Office Registration Certificate and Chief Representative Certificate from the Beijing Public Security Bureau’s Office for the Administration of Overseas NGOs and the Beijing Local Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau. This marks the first overseas NGO under the supervision of the municipal financial regulator to establish a presence in Beijing.
Founded in July 1986 in Virginia, USA, the CFA Institute is the global body that awards the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation. Its work spans professional training, industry standards development, and certification programs, including the CFA Charter, the Certificate in ESG Investing, and the Certificate in Investment Performance Measurement (CIPM).Currently, there are nearly 9,000 CFA charterholders in mainland China. The new Beijing office will accelerate the promotion of professional knowledge and skills standards in China’s financial sector, support talent development, and further advance the high-quality growth of the financial industry.
Beijing CBD serves as Beijing’s international gateway, offering:
- A world-class business environment
- High-quality enterprise services
- Strong policy support
The arrival of leading organizations such as ADNOC and CFA Institute further strengthens Beijing CBD’s role as a premier destination for global business and a solid foundation for the city’s high-quality economic growth.
