What Chengdu High-tech Ceyuan Capital does

Chengdu High-tech Ceyuan Capital (成都高新策源投资集团有限公司) is a state-owned industrial investment and fund management platform established in August 2022 as a wholly-owned first-level subsidiary of Chengdu High-Tech Investment Group (高投集团). Headquartered in the South Tower of Tianfu International Financial Center in the Chengdu High-Tech Zone, the company was assigned a five-year mandate to build and professionally operate a ¥300 billion industrial fund group for the zone. It executes a "four-sector linkage" diversified investment model spanning industrial funds (产业基金), direct investment (产业投资), industrial research (产业研究), and industrial services (产业服务), forming a dual-circulation loop between state capital and high-quality industrial development aligned with the Chengdu High-Tech Zone's "3+6+6" modern industrial system.

The platform's core products are its industrial fund vehicles and direct equity investments, anchored by a fund cluster that has reached 154 funds with combined scale exceeding ¥323.6 billion — the largest among central and western Chinese industrial parks. Specialized mother funds target artificial intelligence (¥10 billion), low-altitude economy (¥5 billion), digital culture (¥5 billion), and pilot testing (¥2 billion), while dedicated sub-funds co-established with institutions such as CICC Capital, ICBC Investment, CCB Golden Investment, Hillhouse Capital, Tsinghua University, Peking University Chengdu Research Institute and Tianfu Gouxi Laboratory focus on hard-technology, future industries, and university spin-offs. Digital infrastructure includes the "Chengdu High-Tech Zone Smart Investment Platform" and "Ceyuan Capital Project Management Platform" for online project matching, intelligent matching, and progress tracking.

The company generates revenue through fund management fees on its 74+ co-established funds, capital gains from direct equity investments in portfolio companies such as Wofei Chang Kong (eVTOL), Zhipu Huazhang (LLM), Qitan Technology (nanopore sequencing), Chenxian Optoelectronics (Micro-LED), Yongxin Medical (nuclear imaging) and Xingdong Jiyuan (humanoid robotics), and performance carried interest on successful exits. Its customers are B2B institutional: government/SOE mandate holders, domestic and international LP co-investors (PE/VC institutions, state-owned platforms, corporate anchors), high-growth technology enterprises receiving equity capital, and industry chain leaders ("链主" enterprises) such as BOE, Huawei, Geely, and Hua Hong. Distribution is direct through senior management relationships, an online project pipeline portal (im.orinnocapital.com), and institutional events including the annual Chengdu High-Tech Zone Industrial Fund Collaborative Development Conference.
