Investing 20 billion yuan! Macau and Chinese Academy of Sciences work together to build an integrated circuit technology innovation center

Last Friday, the launching ceremony of the Integrated Circuit Innovation (Macao) Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was held in Macao. It will jointly establish Macao Douqi Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Co., Ltd. with Douqi International Investment Group (Macao) Holdings Co., Ltd. and Hexin Technology Co., Ltd. to undertake the "Greater Bay Area National Integrated Circuit Technology Innovation Center" and plans to invest a total of 20 billion yuan within three years to drive my country's integrated circuit technology innovation and systematic intellectual property layout.

It is reported that the Integrated Circuit Innovation (Macau) Research Institute was jointly initiated by the Institute of Microelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Douqi International Investment Group (Macau) Holdings Co., Ltd., aiming to deepen the cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao and promote the construction of the Greater Bay Area. Based on the perfect financial, market and talent environment of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and leveraging Macau's advantages in the gathering of international professional talents, it concentrates the advantages of the Academy of Sciences in the field of integrated circuits, and carries out work in cutting-edge basic research, major task research, integration of science and education, and industrial incubation, forming systematic innovation capabilities and systematic research capabilities. Through cooperation with Macau Douqi, we will jointly drive my country's integrated circuit technology innovation and systematic intellectual property layout, occupy the commanding heights of the post-Moore era, and enable my country's integrated circuit industry to be comprehensively promoted, leading my country's integrated circuit technology innovation and catching up with the forefront of the international integrated circuit industry.

At the same time, Macau Douqi Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Co., Ltd. will undertake the "Greater Bay Area National Integrated Circuit Technology Innovation Center" (hereinafter referred to as the Innovation Center). The Innovation Center plans to invest a total of RMB 20 billion in three years, positioning itself as a "center" in the innovation base of Huangpu District, Guangzhou, focusing on process research and development, peripheral supporting facilities, and industrial agglomeration; at the same time, it will play a "two-wing support" role, including the integrated circuit design ecological support of Macau and Zhuhai, and the industrial chain application support of Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and strive to build the Greater Bay Area National Integrated Circuit Technology Innovation Center.

According to local media Xinhua Macao News, relevant leaders of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Macao SAR government attended the launching ceremony. Ye Tianchun, director of the Institute of Microelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area city cluster is a window for China's reform and opening up and one of the most economically active regions. The Chinese Academy of Sciences Integrated Circuit Innovation (Macao) Institute will vigorously develop new technologies and strive to build a national integrated circuit technology innovation center in the Greater Bay Area, providing high-level services for the integrated circuit design and manufacturing industry in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Leong Vai Tac, Director of the Economic and Financial Affairs Bureau of the Macao Special Administrative Region Government, pointed out that making every effort to build a national integrated circuit technology innovation center in the Greater Bay Area is a need for national development. The Macao government must cooperate with the needs of the country, give full play to Macao's strengths, and allow Macao to better integrate into national development.

Zhu Jijun, Chairman of Douqi International Investment Group (Macau) Holdings Co., Ltd., said that as a global free port, Macau has unique advantages in attracting global talent, capital and other resources. On this basis, by selecting sites in Guangzhou, Macau and Hengqin to jointly build large-scale integrated circuit projects, it will have a positive impact on the development of integrated circuits and high-tech industries in Macau, and open up a new direction for Macau's industrial transformation and diversified development.
