On April 9, the "Focus on Optoelectronics to Fuel Quad-Chain Integration" Fujian Province County-Level Key Industrial Chain "Quad-Chain Integration" (Fuzhou Optoelectronic Industry Special Session) and Key Industrial Park Investment Promotion and Matchmaking Event was successfully held in Fuzhou. The event drew significant industry attention, with experts from the optoelectronics field, government representatives, financial institutions, universities, research institutes, industry associations, and corporate delegates gathering to chart the development blueprint for Fuzhou's optoelectronic industry.
A Fuzhou government official stated in the speech that the city prioritizes optoelectronics industry development as a strategic and pioneering sector, pledging enhanced government-enterprise collaboration to leverage this matchmaking event for identifying growth drivers and scaling up the industry's expansion.
A representative from the Chinese Optical Society emphasized in their address that the society will deepen partnerships with local governments through "Quad-Chain Integration" and innovation, positioning "Fuzhou Intelligent Manufacturing" as a benchmark for optoelectronic technology advancement.
A senior executive from CIB's headquarters affirmed that the bank will seize opportunities in Fuzhou's optoelectronics industry expansion to create a Fuzhou model for financial services supporting "Quad-Chain Integration", facilitating the commercialization of research breakthroughs and fostering symbiotic growth among enterprises across the industrial chain.
Optoelectronic experts and CIB's chief economist led discussions on critical topics such as domestic production of optoelectronic components, analyzed global industry trends, and advocated for deeper integration of "industry-academia-research-application-finance" ecosystems.
At the event, stakeholders spanning innovation, industrial, capital, and talent chains jointly launched the Fujian Optoelectronics "Quad-Chain Integration" Development Consortium, pooling resources to inject fresh vitality into Fuzhou's industry growth. Concurrently, CIB unveiled its "commercial banking + investment banking" integrated financial service solution for the optoelectronics industry, while designating branches in Damingcheng, Jin'an, Xihu, Fuxing, and the High-Tech Zone as "Optoelectronic Industry Specialized Branches" to deliver targeted financial services. Additionally, the signing ceremony for 37 key projects under the "Quad-Chain Integration" initiative in the optoelectronic industry was successfully held, with total contracted investments exceeding RMB 22.3 billion. CIB's Fuzhou Branch signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Fuzhou Optoelectronics Industry Association, pledging an RMB 10 billion credit facility to bolster enterprises across Fuzhou's optoelectronic supply chain, thereby accelerating the industry's high-quality development.
Fuzhou's optoelectronics industry boasts a profound heritage and solid foundation, with expanding industrial scale, remarkable innovation advancements, and sustained growth vitality, having established a distinctive industrial system characterized by leading enterprises, specialized strengths, and professional excellence. As both witness and participant in Fuzhou's optoelectronics development, CIB has served nearly 100 local enterprises. The bank has supported key projects including Ricom's intelligent precision lens manufacturing base, Optowide's core optoelectronic component R&D, Acetron's flat-panel display research center, and Franoptics' precision component production lines. With RMB 12 billion in credit extended across the supply chain, the bank empowers Fuzhou's optoelectronic sector to ascend new heights of innovation.
To implement the provincial government's directives on advancing the "Quad-Chain Integration" and fostering high-quality development in county-level economies, CIB has organized a series of industry-finance matchmaking events across Fujian Province.
