Beijing E-Town is an economic development agency of the Beijing municipal government that traces its origins to 1994 when the Beijing government chartered an entity to help foster high tech manufacturing in Beijing.^[1]

E-Town supports high-tech manufacturing by multiple means. When it was established, E-Town's responsibility was to operate the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (BDA) in Daxing district, an industrial park that accounts for much of the manufacturing in Beijing. E-Town would eventually go into investment management as a participant in buyer consortiums that acquired cross-border assets and in financial investments in private equity and venture capital funds.
