The Zhongguancun Collaborative Innovation Fund (hereinafter referred to as the "Innovation Fund") relies on the Zhongguancun Development Group's rich experience in the integration of industry and finance in the field of science and technology finance and its strong industrial organization service capabilities, and relies on the resource advantages of local governments in the cooperation areas to improve and optimize the science and technology finance environment and industrial structure in the cooperation areas, create a "Zhongguancun-like" science and technology innovation ecology, and promote collaborative innovation and win-win development between Zhongguancun and the cooperation areas.

NewDray Technology/NDT is one of the key investment projects of the hard technology and high-end manufacturing under the direct investment fund system of the Innovation Fund. Since 2016, it has been selected for many times in the technology industry lists such as "China's Top 50 Most Valuable Investment Companies", "Top 10 Global Best Innovative Companies in China", and "Greater Bay Area [Technology and Manufacturing] Top 30 Most Innovative Companies". Not only that, NewDray Technology is the world's first company to successfully commercialize the concept of "flexible MEMS" pressure-sensitive touch. It has nearly 100 core technology patents at home and abroad, covering materials, structures, solutions, mass production and other links. It has the advantage of highly vertical integration of the entire industry chain, and continues to promote the industrialization of advanced flexible pressure sensor technology. It has become the backbone of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to build a scientific and technological innovation ecosystem.

Dr. Li Hao said: "NDT is working with upstream and downstream companies such as hardware manufacturing, chips, agents, and terminals to build a broad and in-depth industrial chain cooperation ecosystem around the three core product lines of Mobile phones, Wearables, and Measurables with broad application prospects. Since its establishment in 2011, NDT's innovative ecosystem has achieved remarkable results. Its product penetration rate in first-tier mobile phone brands at home and abroad is 9/11, and its market share of flexible pressure-sensitive touch applications has reached 98%. Pressure-sensitive applications for smart wearable products have also been commercialized one after another, with cumulative shipments exceeding 50 million sets."

The pressure sensor based on flexible materials is a "from 0 to 1" technology and application innovation. On the basis of technology commercialization, NDT will adhere to the technology innovation route of platform-based R&D, module standardization, and diversified application, and is committed to promoting pressure sensing to become the standard cornerstone of human-machine/object-machine interaction, driving market innovation, and bringing users a more convenient, simple, intuitive, and natural interaction experience.
