As traditional industries accelerate their smart and green transition, and as tech ventures move from the laboratory to commercialization, a critical question arises: How can financial capital seamlessly integrate into the industry to act as a true catalyst for value creation? ZGC Sci-Tech Leasing, a subsidiary of ZGC Group, offers a definitive answer through its integrated “Leasing, Investment, and Services” framework for industry-finance integration.

Strategic Cooperation: A “Mortise-and-Tenon” Fit

On June 1, ZGC Sci-Tech Leasing, Boonray, and Easymove formally entered into a tripartite strategic partnership. Focusing on the smart and electric transformation of heavy-industry scenarios such as open-pit mining, the cooperation will drive comprehensive synergy in areas such as the R&D of new energy intelligent equipment and large-scale autonomous operation deployments. The initiative aims to pioneer a new integrated industrial paradigm combining “High-End Manufacturing, Smart Operations, and Industrial Finance”.

Today, traditional heavy industries such as mining are facing the “threefold challenges” of green transformation, safety assurance, and efficiency improvement. The shift toward intelligent, electrified, and large-scale operations has become the core trend for industry transformation. Boonray focuses on unmanned driving and electrified operations for mines, with industry-leading capabilities in real-world scenario deployment and large-scale commercial operation. Easymove specializes in the R&D and manufacturing of large-scale new-energy intelligent mining trucks. Leveraging a complete domestic supply-chain system, it is able to deliver high-performance, high-quality engineering equipment products. However, a long-standing industry pain point remains: high-end manufacturing, scenario operations, and industrial finance have long operated in isolation. The absence of integrated solutions continues to constrain systemic upgrading.

ZGC Sci-Tech Leasing precisely acts like a “mortise-and-tenon” fit. With deep industry insight and a complete industry-finance ecosystem, it brings the three parties together accurately—“facilitating seamless integration” at key nodes—so that barriers between advanced equipment R&D, large-scale scenario deployment, and full-cycle industrial empowerment are addressed one by one. Ultimately, it helps build a closed-loop model integrating manufacturing, operations and finance while generating a powerful synergy for collaborative innovation and value multiplication.

Data Doesn’t Lie: Results Are the Answer

Take a certain autonomous mining truck enterprise as an example. Through its industry-finance integration model, ZGC Sci-Tech Leasing productized its service offerings, thereby successfully helping the tech venture bridge the commercialization gap. As a result, the company achieved explosive revenue growth, sustaining a 100% year-on-year increase for three consecutive years.

By directly addressing the development pain points of sci-tech innovation enterprises and building a full-cycle service system, ZGC Sci-Tech Leasing helps tech entrepreneurs overcome technical challenges and achieve commercialization of research outcomes as well as large-scale development. With the power of finance, it builds a bridge for coordinated growth between technology and industry. To date, the company has cumulatively served over 2,700 technology enterprises, including more than 1,100 SRDI firms and over 420 SRDI “Little Giants” firms. It has also facilitated the public listing of over 50 sci-tech ventures, with cumulative lease deployment surpassing RMB 60 billion.

Meanwhile, ZGC Sci-Tech Leasing has achieved high-quality growth alongside its customers even amidst industry headwinds. During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, ZGC Sci-Tech Leasing achieved a total asset compound growth rate of 11.79%, a return on equity of 10.49%, a compound growth rate of total profit of 11.38%, and a compound growth rate of operating revenue of 9.98%. These figures stand as a compelling track record of shared value creation.
