Leading the Development of New Quality Productive Forces Through Technological Innovation, Building a Modern Industrial System
Recently, the Central Economic Work Conference was held in Beijing, explicitly proposing to lead the development of new quality productive forces through technological innovation and to build a modern industrial system. The integrated circuit industry is the cornerstone of technological innovation and a key force driving the progress of modern industry. Professor Wei Shaojun, Chairman of the IC Design Branch of the China Semiconductor Industry Association, pointed out during the conference that strengthening technical capabilities and enhancing product advantages remain the foundation for the survival of Chinese chip design companies. Professor Wei emphasized that technology is fundamental and innovation is the magic weapon; only by abandoning "path dependence" can companies break out of a passive situation and shed their shackles.
In the future, Hercules Micro will continue to deepen its presence in the chip field, strengthen its technological advantages, persist in tackling core technology challenges, and inject strong momentum into promoting the efficient and high-quality development of China's chip industry.
