On March 6, 2025, in Shenzhen / PR Newswire / -- Today, Shenzhen Jingtai Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Jingtai Technology", Jingtai Holdings-P, XTALPI-P, 2228.HK) announced the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement with Guangdong Hengjian Investment Holding Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Hengjian Holdings") and Shouguang Vegetable Industry Group Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Shouguang Vegetables") in Guangzhou. The three parties will fully leverage their respective advantages to promote the deep integration of AI and modern seed industry, accelerate agricultural technology innovation, enhance the independent innovation capability of the seed industry, and cultivate new productive forces in agriculture.
The seed industry is the "chip" of agriculture and is crucial for ensuring national food security. In recent years, the country has placed significant emphasis on scientific and technological innovation in the seed industry, proposing the "Seed Industry Revitalization Action" to promote breakthroughs in breeding technology. This cooperation is based on the technological resource advantages of the Greater Bay Area, utilizing AI to facilitate innovation in the seed industry and create an internationally leading intelligent breeding system, aiding Guangdong Province in achieving self-reliance and self-improvement in seed industry technology.
As a major strategic investment platform in Guangdong Province, Hengjian Holdings will integrate Jingtai Technology's vertical field large model and robotic experimental technology advantages, along with Shouguang Vegetables' profound industry accumulation and industrial transformation capabilities, to jointly create an "AI + Seed Industry" innovation consortium. This will construct a research and development system covering the entire chain from "platform building to R&D breakthroughs to industrial applications." First, an intelligent breeding research platform will be established, creating AI seed industry technology platforms, AI agricultural seed software development platforms, and robotic flexible laboratories in Guangdong to provide efficient computing and automated experimental support for breeding. Second, breakthroughs in intelligent breeding technology will be promoted, optimizing genomic selection using quantum physics and AI algorithms to enhance precision breeding capabilities and accelerate the seed industry's R&D process. Third, industrialization will be promoted by integrating the industry chain resources of the South China Greater Bay Area Concept, advancing the commercialization of intelligent breeding results, and cultivating high-value new seed products to support the upgrading of the agricultural industry.
This strategic cooperation is an important practice by Hengjian Holdings to support the "Guangdong Strong Seed Chip" project through an innovation consortium model, aiding the construction of a strong province in the seed industry. It is also a key advancement for Jingtai Technology as a leading edge AI for Science platform in the agricultural field. Shouguang Vegetable Industry Group is a leading modern agricultural enterprise in China, focusing on vegetable planting, R&D, sales, and agricultural technology promotion, committed to building an efficient and sustainable intelligent agriculture industry chain. The three parties will jointly explore new paradigms for seed industry R&D with global competitiveness, providing technological support for ensuring national food security and sustainable development, constructing a replicable "Chinese solution" for global agricultural modernization, and making positive contributions to the high-quality development of the seed industry.
