“From the first meeting to company registration, it only took 20 days!” Recently, Jiufengshan Laboratory, Changzhou Xingyu Automotive Lighting Co., Ltd., and Silergy Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Co., Ltd. jointly established Wuhan Xingxiguang Technology Co., Ltd. This unconventional “lightning-speed cooperation” is backed by Wuhan’s new model of technology investment attraction, which moves beyond the traditional approach of “land + subsidies” to a combination of technology, industrial chain, and professional services.

The starting point of the story is the “hard technology” in Jiufengshan Laboratory’s hands—Micro LED technology. Hailed by the industry as the “ultimate display technology,” this advanced tech offers higher brightness, lower power consumption, and longer lifespan than OLED. It is particularly well-suited for the dynamic display needs of high-end electric vehicles in the smart headlight sector, boasting broad market prospects.

Since its inception, Jiufengshan Laboratory has focused on this track, building a full-chain technological advantage from design to application around gallium nitride materials. As a national-level compound semiconductor pilot platform, its 7 process lines and core heterogeneous integration technology have long been highly sought-after in the industry.

“This is not a spur-of-the-moment cooperation, but the natural outcome of long-term planning.” Xingyu Automotive Lighting is a leading enterprise in China’s automotive lighting industry, possessing a complete independent R&D system and strong design, development, and manufacturing capabilities. Its products are widely used by mainstream automotive brands both domestically and internationally. Silergy Integrated is a leading domestic provider of one-stop system foundry solutions with automotive-grade chip production capabilities. Jiufengshan Laboratory恰好 bridges the technological gap between the two, forming a closed loop of “technology R&D – chip manufacturing – terminal application.”

Due to prior collaboration foundations and mutual familiarity, when Xingyu Automotive Lighting proposed the idea of establishing a new company, the three parties immediately agreed. Upon learning of this, the East Lake High-tech Zone专门 established a special task force composed of the Investment Promotion Bureau, state-owned enterprises, and the park management. On December 13, 2025, at Silergy Integrated’s headquarters in Shaoxing, the three parties held their first meeting and finalized the cooperation framework on the spot.

With the willingness to cooperate established, what enabled the rapid implementation? The answer lies in the East Lake High-tech Zone’s professional investment attraction services. Within 10 days of the three parties reaching a consensus, the head of the Zone’s Investment Promotion Bureau led a team directly to Changzhou Xingyu Automotive Lighting, armed with a comprehensive list of “substantive offerings”—from the selection of a newly completed cleanroom facility in Jiufengshan Science Park, to support for personnel relocation and recruitment, and policy配套, precisely addressing all of the company’s concerns.

“They didn’t come to talk about subsidies; they genuinely understand our industry needs.” This level of professionalism made the company determined to establish itself in Wuhan.

To complete the registration as quickly as possible, the East Lake High-tech Zone Government Service Center worked overtime into the night on weekends, following the entire business registration process, achieving registration on the day of signing. The task force provided 24-hour responses to company requests, from minor technical consultations to major factory planning issues, all addressed promptly.

“In the past, investment attraction meant companies seeking out policies. Now, we deliver services directly to their doorstep, and they are professional services精准匹配 to industrial needs.”

The highlights of this cooperation extend far beyond its speed. Unlike the traditional, extensive investment model of “providing land and policies,” Wuhan has adopted a deeply integrated approach of “technology attraction + joint venture共建.” Jiufengshan Laboratory attracts partners with its core technology, not merely through technology licensing. The companies involved are rooting their core R&D, production, and output value activities entirely in Wuhan, ensuring that technological innovation truly translates into local industrial growth.

“This is not a one-off deal, but a long-term cooperation with shared benefits and risks. The technology takes root and sprouts in Wuhan
