GUI kicks off new growth in 2024

Grand Union of Innovation (GUI) has started 2024 with strong momentum, welcoming several high-profile projects and initiatives aimed at fostering innovation and driving growth.

Among the new arrivals, Zhonglian Cloud, specializing in IoT and digital twin technologies, registered in February, while Jianwei New Materials established a cutting-edge platform for accelerating the commercialization of advanced materials. Additionally, Risechem's soluble polyimide project, led by a team of Japanese returnees, is set to serve key industries such as 5G and flexible electronics.

Guo Xiaotian's smart home venture is targeting the European market with AI-driven ecosystems, and Zhidi Automotive, a German-invested company, launched its research and development toolchain headquarters in the Hefei High-Tech Zone. Meanwhile, Micros Epoch partnered with China Telecom Quantum Group to advance quantum technology applications, including co-developing a quantum-classical computing platform.

Capital investment is also thriving. GUI has operationalized four new sub-funds, bringing the total to eight, focusing on emerging industries like smart manufacturing and new materials. Moreover, two direct projects in quantum and integrated circuit technology were completed, while eight startups received initial credit support to accelerate their growth.

GUI's proactive "service-first" approach has ensured that enterprises receive timely support and resources, setting a robust foundation for achieving a head start to the year.
