China Zhongji Investment participates in a new round of financing for Genston Technology, helping to realize the commercialization of MRAM.


       Recently, Shenzhen Gence Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Gence Technology"), empowered by MRAM technology, completed a new round of financing, with China Zhongji Investment participating. This round of financing was led by Jucheng Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (SH.688123). In addition to Zhongji, Youyuan Capital and the old shareholder BV Baidu Venture Capital also participated in the follow-up investment. The funds raised will mainly be used for product mass production, market development, and new product research and development.
 
 
       As a pioneer enterprise in the development, application, and commercialization of MRAM technology, Gence Technology was established in 2019. It is currently the only fabless enterprise in China that focuses on the design, development, and sales of related chip products based on this technology. Its headquarters is located in Shenzhen, with R&D centers and support teams in Shanghai, Suzhou, and other places.
 
       Targeting the intelligent needs of edge-side and end-side applications, Gence Technology has established two core product lines around "storage-computation-control": "standalone MRAM memory chips" and "AI SoC chips" containing embedded MRAM. It provides competitive, high-efficiency, and intelligent single-chip solutions for customers in consumer, industrial, IoT, and automotive fields. Among them, the "ultra-low power" version of the AI SoC has a power consumption as low as 5uA/MHz, reaching the international first-class level, and can provide a cost-effective solution for a wide range of battery-powered applications.
 

       With the strong support of its customers, Gence Technology's related chip products have completed R&D iteration and sufficient verification. According to the plan, they will gradually enter the mass production and delivery stage starting from Q4 2023. The company will continue to work with upstream and downstream partners in the industrial chain to jointly build and promote the MRAM-enabled "storage-computation-control" single-chip integrated ecosystem.

 

       China Zhongji Investment's TMT & New Energy project team believes that with the advancement of digital transformation, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and 5G technology, the demand for memory will continue to increase. The rise of big data, high-definition video, virtualization, and edge computing applications has also driven the growth of the memory market. Traditional memory, after decades of development, is no longer cost-effective or performance-effective to continue reducing its size, and the rate of progress of existing memory technology cannot meet the requirements of improved electronic product performance. This provides a good development opportunity for new semiconductor memory. Gence Technology, as a domestic fabless company focused on building ultra-low power, high-reliability, and intelligent solutions based on MRAM, will have broader development space with the successful completion of this round of financing.
