On September 11, 2024, the Xi'an High-tech Enterprise Association took a proactive step in response to the Shaanxi Provincial Government’s directives for enhancing and expanding key industry chains. By focusing on chain-based investment attraction, the Association aims to strengthen and extend industrial chains, accelerating the development of a modern industrial system with distinct Shaanxi characteristics.

Under the guidance of the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and the Xi'an High-tech Zone Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, the Association hosted a seminar on “Key Industry Chain Investment Attraction” in Xi'an High-tech Zone. The event was attended by over 20 key figures, including leaders from the leading enterprises of the photonics, integrated circuits, IoT and sensors, and hydrogen energy sectors. Representatives from the Shaanxi Semiconductor Association, the High-tech City Support Company, Silk Road Communications, the Automotive Parts Industrial Park, and Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology Asset Management Company also participated.

Several industry leaders, including representatives from the leading companies in photonics, microelectronics, and technology such as Heqi Optoelectronics, TorMicroelectronics, and Shanli Technology, shared practical insights on industry chain development. They discussed the importance of strengthening foundational industries, refining the supply chain, and exploring tailored, differentiated investment strategies. These companies committed to leveraging their leadership positions in the chain to support the development of upstream and downstream companies.

The Shaanxi Semiconductor Industry Association and various industrial parks presented overviews of their current development, challenges, and the support needed to attract investment. These insights contributed to the broader discussion on how to create a more robust industrial ecosystem.

The event was chaired by Ms. Jia Xiaoyan, Secretary-General of the Xi'an High-tech Enterprise Association, who guided the discussions on topics such as "innovative investment models," "optimizing the business environment," "deepening industry cooperation," and "establishing effective cooperation mechanisms."

In closing, Jia emphasized the importance of responding to both the economic challenges and the significant opportunities currently facing Shaanxi. She assured attendees that the Association would continue to play a pivotal role in facilitating industry chain development, deeply analyzing business needs, and leveraging marketing and policy communication to attract capital, technology, and talent. Through strategies such as “cluster-based investment attraction” and “industry-driven recruitment,” she stressed the importance of creating synergies between various stakeholders. The goal, she concluded, was to drive economic growth and inject new vitality into Shaanxi's industrial development.
