What 正元地理信息有限责任公司 does

Zhengyuan Geographic Information Group Co., Ltd. (正元地理信息集团股份有限公司, DBA: 正元地信, STAR Market ticker 688509) is a Chinese state-owned geomatics and geographic information technology company founded in March 1999 and headquartered in Beijing's Shunyi District. It is a subsidiary of the SASAC-supervised China Metallurgical Geology Bureau (中国冶金地质总局) and has been designated a "Double Hundred Action" SOE reform enterprise. The company operates a national network of eight regional subsidiaries with offices in Jinan, Wuhan, Sanhe, Yantai, and Deqing, serving more than 220 Chinese cities with surveying, mapping, underground pipeline detection, and smart-city infrastructure services.

Its core technology stack is built around a Spatio-temporal Information Cloud Platform that aggregates full-space (sea-land-air-underground) geographic data, supported by cloud-controlled photogrammetry, AI-driven smart drainage modeling, and an underground pipeline safety operations system. Recent product additions include the Carbon Accounting Spatio-temporal Cloud Platform (launched December 2025) for ESG and emissions measurement, and the Smart Drainage AI Model Application System (in development as of 2025) for municipal drainage management. The company holds Class A qualifications in surveying, mapping, and underground pipeline detection and has appeared on the China Top 100 Geographic Information Enterprises list for eight consecutive years (2016–2023).

Zhengyuan's business model is project- and contract-driven, centered on Chinese government and municipal clients. Revenue is generated through (1) one-off surveying, mapping, and underground pipeline detection projects; (2) recurring managed-services contracts for underground pipeline operation and maintenance across chemical industrial parks and urban networks; and (3) long-duration PPP/BOT smart-city deployments with municipalities such as Changting County, Yongding District, Chongqing Municipal Commission, Mudanjiang, and Fuzhou Urban Investment. The company supplements internal R&D with strategic academic partnerships, including engagements with Wuhan University, CAS Academician Teng Jiwen, CAE Academician Zhang Zuxun, and the CAS Aerospace Information Innovation Institute.
