An investor event in Xiamen gathered leading investment funds, industry platforms, innovators, and financial institutions. Featuring fund exhibitions, project pitches, and site visits, the event helped participants identify opportunities in emerging industries and supported Xiamen's push to attract quality capital and speed up industrial transformation.
Lu Chengcheng, chairman of Fenghe Capital, said he believes Xiamen's semiconductor supply chain, bonded R&D model, and efficient government services offer an ideal environment for chip innovation.
The company helped Zhichen Semiconductor set up a subsidiary in the Xiamen Free Trade Zone, providing funding, follow-on financing, and industry connections to get its R&D up and running quickly.
