ZGC Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “the Group”) was established in April 2010 by the CPC Beijing Municipal Committee and Beijing Municipal Government to implement the State Council’s approval for supporting the construction of Zhongguancun as a national independent innovation demonstration zone. As a municipal-level sci-tech innovation service platform, the Group allocates innovation resources through market-oriented means. It is also Beijing’s only first-tier municipal enterprise with sci-tech services as its core business.

The Group has adhered to the mission of “Letting Innovation Grow” while pursuing its vision to become “a world-class integrated service provider of an international innovation ecosystem”. Focusing on the “5+X” industry sectors — namely artificial intelligence, integrated circuits, medicine & healthcare, new energy, new materials, and future industries — the Group centers its efforts on the full cycle of sci-tech achievement commercialization. It strives to enhance its core competitiveness in discovering, cultivating, and serving high-value enterprises. Thanks to these efforts, the Group has established an integrated service system anchored by innovation services, driven by financial services, propelled by industrial services, and underpinned by an innovative network, thereby facilitating the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation.

In the stage of original innovation, the Group strengthens innovation services to prospectively identify “golden seeds”. The Group has leveraged a high-caliber team of technology managers and forged deep connections with national laboratories, key national laboratories, national scientific research institutions, leading research universities, and new R&D institutions. Through these networks, it proactively identifies high-value sci-tech achievements while providing comprehensive services, including concept verification, technology transfer, intellectual property management, think tank consulting, talent recruitment and development, and scenario matching.

In the stage of achievement incubation and commercialization, the Group strengthens capital empowerment to precisely nurture promising ventures. Adhering to the investment strategy of “investing early in small-scale, long-term, and hardcore technology,” the Group synergizes its fund-of-funds (FoF) with direct investment funds. Supplemented by financial instruments such as technology guarantees and technology leasing, this dual-pronged approach of “equity + debt” effectively bridges the financing gap for tech-based micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).

In the stage of industrialization, the Group strengthens industrial empowerment services to help enterprises achieve rapid growth. Focusing on key industries, the Group builds essential common technology platforms to provide one-stop technical services, including engineering R&D, as well as testing and inspection. Leveraging featured parks such as Zhongguancun Software Park, the AI Park, Zhongguancun Integrated Circuit Design Park, the ZII Park, and the High-end Medical Equipment Park, the Group provides full-chain empowerment services, covering space operations and supporting services, industrial chain matchmaking, scenario access, forums and exhibitions, as well as cross-border cooperation.

Regarding the innovative network, the Group deeply connects with domestic and international innovation resources to foster a first-class innovation ecosystem. As the exclusive market-oriented operator of the ZGC Forum, the Group provides high-quality services to help build the forum into a national-level platform for global scientific and technological exchange and cooperation. It also actively implements the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development strategy by operating key projects to a high standard, such as the Zhongguancun Science Park in Xiong’an New Area, the Zhongguancun Science Park in Binhai, Tianjin, and the Beijing-Tianjin Zhongguancun Science and Technology City, providing support for the construction of the Beijing (Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei) International Center for Science and Technology Innovation.

In order to support the Belt and Road Initiative and to integrate into the global innovation ecosystem, ZGC Group has created a world class cross-border incubation mechanism that includes comprehensive innovation resources such as overseas strategic scientists, and new scientific research institutes.
