Wuhan Changjin Photonics Technology Co, based in the Wuhan East Lake High-tech Development Zone (Optics Valley of China, or OVC), has secured a 100 million yuan ($13.92 million) strategic financing round led exclusively by China Mobile Equity Fund, marking the beginning of deep collaborations with China Mobile in industrial investment.

The newly acquired funds will focus on technology optimization, product development, production capacity expansion, and intelligent manufacturing upgrades to accelerate the application of domestically produced products in integrated computing networks, data centers, and satellite internet sectors across the nation.

Changjin Photonics is engaged in the research, production, and sale of specialty optical fibers, alongside providing technical services. The company concentrates on addressing bottlenecks in active optical fiber research and application, contributing to the localization of key materials in fiber lasers and communication amplifiers.

The company's founder and core team members hail from prestigious institutions such as Huazhong University of Science and Technology and the Wuhan Research Institute of Posts and Telecommunications, bringing deep fiber optics technology expertise.

Changjin Photonics plans to utilize the capital from China Mobile Equity Fund to enhance the full-chain self-dependent supply of high-end domestic optical fiber materials, participate in the construction of national computing power hubs, and explore breakthroughs in integrated space-ground communications and next-generation intelligent optical networks.
