Provide a full cycle of ecological space
After years of development, first-tier cities for integrated circuit design have been locked in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. Beijing has many advantages in terms of capital, projects, and talents. The establishment of IC PARK has become the focus of Beijing's implementation of the national IC industry promotion program. base.
IC PARK President Miao Jun said that on the one hand, the 'Northern Design, South Manufacturing, and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Coordinated Development' program has become the spatial layout of the integrated circuit industry in Beijing. North Design means relying on IC PARK, relying on science and education resources, human resources. And funding resources to support the IC design industry. South Manufacturing is to focus on the development of integrated circuit manufacturing, with ZTE North as the core to form the upstream and downstream industry chain, both of which will work together to make the Beijing IC industry a reality. On the other hand, IC PARK is Zhongguancun. In the third step of the science park, the Zhongguancun Science Park was the first independent innovation demonstration area in China. By the end of 2017, the number of enterprises had reached 21,000, and the annual production value was 5.3 trillion yuan, creating an ecological environment for the development of high-tech industries. After completing the investment and setting up the fund, these two major initiatives followed the trend of establishing IC PARK to provide IC design companies with a broader development space and ecological environment.
After taking advantage of IC Park, not only hard power, but also related talents, funds, services, and application promotion are also the park's 'golden signboards'. IC PARK, which was built in the previous two years, is expected to be completed before the end of the year. There will be more than 40 manufacturers settled in, can be said to have achieved a 'good start'.
'The traditional park is to get the floor before the building, after which you want to do what industry, and then recruit what business, and then to find service docking, is a serial mode of extensive type.' IC PARK Deputy General Manager Zhou Rui said, 'The IC PARK builds a business model that considers investment in the construction process and provides services in the investment promotion process, thus showing its effectiveness.'
These services are all centered on a series of services that IC companies really need to “stirring up.” Zhou Rui, deputy general manager stressed that IC PARK has built a multidimensional service platform for production, education and research, from the EDA required by the industry. , financing, talents, upstream and downstream services, etc. are constantly strengthening the 'supply'. In this 'Mingdao' process, efforts are being made to build a growing environment in which the industrial ecosystem, resource ecosystem, enterprise ecosystem, and intelligent ecosystem are linked together. It is supplemented by nine industry service platforms such as technology finance, human resources, overseas docking, general technology, life support, marketing, innovation and incubation, corporate public service platform, and expert tutor service platform, focusing on providing businesses from innovation incubation to application promotion. 'One stop' industry collaboration service.
Chairman Miao Jun emphasized that this is because IC Park’s idea is that half of the park area is self-sustaining for 20 years. This is to focus on industry incubation and service. On the other hand, the company from start-up to become a small business, The formation of medium-sized or large-scale enterprises needs supporting different spaces. IC PARK focuses on providing a full-cycle eco-space. To this end, it has set up four major ecosystems and nine service platforms to meet the different demands of these enterprises at different stages.
Pursuit of reasonable ratio of 'Four Six'
AI, blockchain, 5G, Internet of Things, and autopilot are all new dynamics in the future, and AI+, 5G+, etc. that allow innovations to fall into place will undoubtedly require linkage between the 'original' IC and applications. Zhou Rui, Deputy General Manager, said , IC PARK's plan for this is that IC design companies have achieved at least 50%, and the other 50% are upstream software, algorithms, downstream cloud computing, Internet of Things, etc. to better exert synergies and linkage effects. In terms of entering enterprises, 65% of them are integrated circuit design companies. Upstream and downstream supporting enterprises account for 35% of the total. The current ratio is relatively more reasonable.
According to reports, more than 40 companies have settled in the bit continents that provide supercomputing chips, as well as in the state of the mobile communications industry, the State Bank of China Microelectronics, China Hanhan Tianxia, and the memory vendors Zhaoyi Innovation, providing core CPU cores, etc. , In the various sub-divisions to achieve a basic coverage.
Dong Kai, Minister of IC PARK's Industry Investment Department, said that IC PARK is constantly optimizing the upstream and downstream linkages of chip companies that have already entered the park. For example, Kyiyi Innovation has settled in, and its next step may be to plan for industrial control or other intelligence. Due to the hardware layout, it will consider introducing companies that are key chips such as memory control chips and wireless chips to realize the cooperation of the entire industry chain. Also, considering the power consumption from the perspective of intelligent hardware, it is considered that the introduction of power management IC companies will be promoted. The performance of the entire product provides support for supporting companies in this dimension. 'Mr. Dong Jun mentioned that.
IC PARK is a major force in the Zhongguancun Science Park. Some application companies in the Brother Park area, such as Lenovo and Xiaomi, also need related supporting chips. In this regard, IC PARK also has the strength to 'pair'.
Focus on supporting SMEs
IC PARK envisages the type of enterprise that enters the park, and the scale of the enterprise is: There are about two to three leading companies, thirty to fifty medium-sized enterprises, and about 100 small and micro enterprises. The future focuses mainly on small and medium-sized enterprises.
'The role of leading companies in the early development and construction of the park is very strong and serves as a benchmark. From a long-term point of view, SMEs in the future are more important to the park. Their growth momentum is very good, and their development potential is also very large. Therefore, IC PARK hopes to have more small and medium-sized enterprises settled in. 'The deputy general manager of Zhou Rui explained that 'future park will continue to strengthen the support of small and micro enterprises, to help medium-sized companies to dock the leading companies, and do cross-border Business docking. '
This kind of docking mainly focuses on providing accurate services and promoting upstream and downstream 'cooperation' according to the development of the company. IC PARK deputy general manager An Xieru introduced, for example, AI is a combination of hardware and software applications, involving the collection of data, cloud computing To terminal applications, etc., IC PARK will attract upstream and downstream small businesses to parks based on the needs of large AI companies. This lead type of leading companies will not only promote the development of small and micro enterprises, but even after the successful incubation of small businesses in the park. It can be sold directly to large companies, which can not only achieve the coordinated development of the industry chain, but also realize the return on investment.
Of course, this also has certain requirements and thresholds for small and micro enterprises. Deputy deputy general manager Zhou Rui mentioned that, on the one hand, the industry must be positioned in the area of ubiquitous circuits, and on the other hand, it should be considered after the arrival in 2020. Set some production values, such as intellectual property rights, patents and other core technology set rigid requirements.
Reject the mediocre challenge
Although IC PARK has achieved initial results, it will still face corresponding challenges if it is to continue to be stronger and stronger. 'The ability of industrial organization, capital operation ability and service ability are all great challenges.' Miao Jun, chairman of the board thinks.
Chairman Miao Jun elaborated: First, the IC industry is a highly sophisticated industry. The park needs to understand the development priorities and direction of the national integrated circuit industry, and understand the needs and difficulties of the company in order to customize industrial organizations and services. It is the pressure of funds. Previous parks used rolling land to sell land for sale, but half of IC Park’s area cannot be sold, but relying on rents is a small gain, so there is a lot of pressure on self-sustaining funds. Third, park management. To find a good company, consider What is the profit model of the park depends on, considering the high-end paid industrial services and investment.
Obviously, IC PARK still needs to continue to do a good job after Ming Dao. Miao Jun, chairman of the board, mentioned that the core of IC PARK is to transform from a park builder to an industrial investor and service provider. Future AI, Made in China 2025, 5G The core of the network information security and other industries are inseparable from chips. IC PARK will continue to strengthen the implementation of the national IC promotion program and form a coordinated development of the industrial chain. At the same time, IC design will be the core, focusing on industrial development and Technology trends, adjust the support of upstream and downstream industries, provide more opportunities for designing product R&D and marketing.
Miao Jun’s hope is that Zhongguancun will become China’s Silicon Valley, and IC PARK’s goal is to become a world-class integrated circuit design specialty park. From the perspective of Silicon Valley’s development, the inner logic of Silicon Valley’s success is multiculturalism, equal opportunity and rejection. Mediocrity, successfully out of the cycle from prosperity to prosperity and decline, and IC PARK clearly needs more 'refusal of mediocrity'.
