Start A Legendary Chapter in Technology
"In 1999, we participated in the first edition of China Hi-Tech Fair and won the opportunity to establish contacts with the capital market and raise funds for the first time, which laid the foundation for Tencent's later rapid development."
-- Pony Ma, Chairman of Tencent
In 1999, a company named Tencent, which had been established for only one year, attended the first edition of CHTF held in Shenzhen. The company's founder Pony Ma obtained the first venture capital at CHTF with a proposal of more than 20 pages that had been revised for 66 times. His attempts to peddle QQ and Tencent successfully raised a total investment of US$2.2 million from IDG and Yingke.
25 years later, Tencent has risen to become a global tech giant, ranking 141th in the 2024 Fortune Global 500 list. In addition to Tencent which has profoundly changed the way people communicate, a number of well-known companies such as Netac, which has made portable USB flash drive available to thousands of households, and Han's Laser, one of the world's top three industrial laser processing equipment manufacturers, all received investment at China Hi-Tech Fair and began to write their respective legends.
CHTF has become a bellwether of technology, innovation and industry, and one of the platforms to promote the cooperation between global technology investors and industry disruptors. It has fostered a culture of innovation in China and brought countless tech companies to incredible heights on the world stage. From the perspective of technology industry, CHTF has not only changed Shenzhen, but also changed China. Advancing hand in hand with CHTF, Shenzhen, a booming city of innovation and vitality, has become a hotbed for entrepreneurship and the combination of Chinese and global innovations.

In the past 25 years, CHTF has become an important gateway for China's high-tech sector to connect with the international community, and a top-level platform which promotes global collaboration on technological achievements. Under the theme "Technology Leads Development, Industry Integrates Fusion", CHTF 2024 is set to take place from November 14-16 in Shenzhen. "Bringing in financial liquidity to nourish technological innovation" will continue to be a highlight of the 26th China Hi-Tech Fair.
Looking back into the past, CHTF has helped numerous technology companies and investors establish solid partnership, validating its commitment to providing full-life cycle, diversified financial services for tech companies, and promoting the interaction between venture capital, innovation capital, bank credit and the real economy. CHTF provides full service to technology enterprises and investment and financing institutions to foster their in-depth cooperation, demonstrating the platform’s value in promoting the industrialization of technological achievements, technological innovation, the development of startups and the growth of innovative entrepreneurs.
According to a spokesperson of an investment company from Dongguan whose fund management scale is around CNY20 billion, his company will pay special attention to small and micro enterprises in the fields of electronic information, new materials, artificial intelligence, semiconductors and biomedicine. The company will also be present at some investment and financing related concurrent activities. A professional in charge of the investment department of a state-owned capital investment company expressed his support for the event's role in promoting innovation and international collaboration and his strong interest in identifying hidden gems in optoelectronics, manufacturing, new materials and semiconductors, etc. “Give me lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.” CHTF is such a “fulcrum”, a world-class event for enterprises to enhance their brand awareness and reputation, and a starting point for them to branch out and carve out a space on the world stage.
