Linear Capital and C&D Group co-hosted a digital transformation salon, exploring how innovative technology products can be deployed in real-world business scenarios.

At the end of March, Linear Capital brought several of its portfolio companies to C&D Group for a digital salon co-hosted with C&D Emerging Investment and C&D Group's Information Technology Center at the C&D Tower in Shanghai. Over the course of an afternoon, Linear Capital and its portfolio companies discussed current technology trends with C&D Group's headquarters and IT teams from various industry groups, exploring how these cutting-edge technologies could be applied across C&D Xiamen's diverse business areas.

Since its founding in 2014, Linear Capital has consistently focused on investing in AI projects that can be deployed in real industries. We pay attention to the development of frontier technologies, while prioritizing investments in projects that solve critical pain points in industrial upgrading and dramatically improve production efficiency — ultimately improving more people's lives. Following this investment logic, we place great emphasis on fostering communication between tech entrepreneurs and industry. We believe that when entrepreneurs focused on frontier technologies gain deeper understanding of industry needs, and when innovative industry players better understand and embrace cutting-edge technologies, the path to industrial upgrading through technology deployment becomes smoother.

Linear Capital has always been committed to serving as a bridge connecting technology innovators with various industries. Collaborating with a high-quality, large-scale enterprise group like C&D Xiamen helps Linear Capital and its portfolio companies better understand what problems traditional enterprises most hope to solve through technological innovation during their digital and intelligent transformation, and how tech startups can better understand and address the needs of enterprise clients. In the past, Linear Capital has organized numerous such events, including exchanges with well-known domestic and international companies such as Starbucks, Honeywell, Jardine Matheson, and Geely. Going forward, we will continue organizing similar events to promote more frequent and high-quality communication between technology innovators and industry.
