Lay out the frontier of scientific and technological innovation and build a "win-win" ecosystem
  

As the global "parent factory" of Lenovo Group, Lenovo Southern Intelligent Manufacturing Base covers notebooks, desktops, personal workstations, servers, high-performance supercomputer clusters and other traditional businesses of Lenovo, and carries and incubates various intelligent products, such as smart modules, smart terminals, smart wearable devices, smart home appliances and other emerging businesses. At the same time, the experience and practice accumulated by Lenovo Group will be opened to more small and medium-sized enterprises to provide better "intelligent" manufacturing services.
  

  
As a bridge between the invested companies and the Lenovo Group's ecosystem, Lenovo Ventures not only provides financial support for technology companies, but also relies on Lenovo Group's rich global resources to help startups grow in terms of supply chain, talent, market, and services. Liang Ying, Managing Director of Lenovo Ventures and General Manager of Lenovo Accelerator, said: "At present, Lenovo Ventures has invested in 240 hard technology member companies, 18 IPOs, 40 unicorns in subdivided fields, and 70 portfolio companies have in-depth collaboration with Lenovo. Unlike most CVCs that focus on the upstream and downstream layout of their industrial chain, Lenovo Venture Capital focuses more on investing in the future of the IT industry, giving full play to the advantages of CVC2.0 and relying on the industrial ecology to build a win-win linkage system in an all-round way. ”
  

  
At present, Lenovo Venture Capital has established an ecological synergy model covering the whole chain of "research, production, supply, marketing and service" for enterprise growth. In the "production" and "supply" chain, the "Bright Plan" jointly initiated by Lenovo Group Global Manufacturing & Engineering and Lenovo Venture Capital is a key link, which is committed to using Lenovo Group's intelligent manufacturing capabilities and ecological resources to provide one-stop, multi-dimensional, high-quality "Manufacturing as a Service (MaaS)" for Lenovo Venture Capital's portfolio enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises. Through the "Bright Plan", it can help enterprises solve the problem of weak manufacturing capacity in the early stage of entrepreneurship, such as helping them quickly establish production lines and realize the efficient transformation from laboratories to products.
   

Give full play to the advantages of chain owners and empower small and medium-sized enterprises to upgrade their intelligent manufacturing
  

At the beginning of the release of the "Bright Plan", Lenovo Venture Capital's investee Sinsegye became the first seed customer of the Bright Plan, and its industrial intelligence products have been produced and applied to customer scenarios in the southern intelligent manufacturing base. As close partners, Wu Shengming, Director of Global Manufacturing and Engineering Manufacturing as a Service at Lenovo, and Liu Shengfu, Co-founder and COO of Sinsegye, showcased the results of their cooperation.
  
Wu Shengming, director of global manufacturing and engineering manufacturing-as-a-service at Lenovo, introduced that the Bright Plan is a multi-dimensional help incubation plan around intelligent manufacturing. Our cooperation with Sinsegye has opened a new MaaS empowerment model, and with Lenovo's manufacturing experience, we have quickly completed an independent and rapid cooperation with Sinsegye in terms of product pilot maturation, process and quality process system establishment, and production standardization collaboration. Starting with Lenovo Ventures' portfolio companies, we are expanding and empowering more small and medium-sized start-ups to achieve a win-win situation for all parties.
   

  
Liu Shengfu, co-founder and COO of Sinsegye , said that Lenovo, as a world-renowned technology company, has accumulated decades of experience in the field of computer and electronic equipment manufacturing, and has rich manufacturing experience and technical advantages. At present, the CH20X series, SX2 series, SX5 series and SP series products have been produced by Lenovo and delivered to customers, and we will complete more product iterations with Lenovo in the future.
  

  
Up to now, more than 20 invested companies and small and medium-sized enterprises have joined the "Bright Plan". "With the achievement of more and more cooperation, Lenovo Venture Capital's ecological advantages in the field of intelligent manufacturing have been gradually strengthened, and we look forward to helping more enterprises to achieve 'intelligent' manufacturing upgrades."
  
In the future, Lenovo will continue to export technology, resources and experience to provide production sites and full-chain support for small and medium-sized enterprises in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the whole country, stimulate innovation vitality and motivation, and help the development of Shenzhen's manufacturing industry cluster to grow and improve efficiency. Lenovo Ventures will also give full play to the advantages of CVC 2.0 to achieve multi-dimensional and all-round two-way empowerment with more technology enterprises, promote the growth of high-tech enterprises, achieve ecological co-prosperity, and jointly promote China's scientific and technological innovation and development.
