On May 16, the Leshan Industrial Investment Fund Cluster Release Ceremony was held at Leshan High-tech Zone, Sichuan Province, themed “’Ji’ Meets Leshan, ‘Golden’ Future Awaits”. The event officially unveiled a “1+2” fund cluster with a total scale of approximately RMB 60 billion. Leshan Municipal Party Secretary Zhao Bo and Deputy Director of Sichuan SASAC He Zheng attended and delivered speeches.

On behalf of Chairman Zhu Gongshan, GCL Group Executive Director and GCL Technology Co-CEO Lan Tianshi spoke as the industry investor representative, sharing GCL’s achievements and future plans for collaborative development in Leshan.

Lan Tianshi noted that since 2019, GCL has actively participated in the “Sichuan Tour of Renowned Domestic and Foreign Enterprises”, deeply integrating into Leshan’s new energy and advanced materials industrial transformation.

Guided by the national “dual carbon” strategy, GCL has leveraged Leshan’s green electricity resources and favorable business environment to achieve the region’s first 100,000-ton modularized FBR polysilicon production, positioning Leshan as a global incubator for low-carbon PV module supply chains. In parallel, GCL has introduced strategic partners to build industrial-grade silicon powder processing projects, helping Leshan establish the “241” modern industrial system and promoting high-end, clustered development across the industrial chain.

Lan emphasized that the Leshan new energy and advanced materials projects exemplify a win-win model for industry-finance integration and government-enterprise cooperation. The Leshan government set up a special fund, completing fundraising in just eight months, enabling the project to set industry records for the fastest investment-to-construction timeline. This demonstrates a regional benchmark for “investment-driven, technology-and-finance-supported” high-quality development.

Looking ahead, Lan stated that under Leshan’s “faster pace, higher efficiency, superior quality” development theme, GCL plans to expand into silane gas, cathode materials, and silicon-carbon anodes, developing an integrated solar-storage industrial chain. This will form a green closed loop across polysilicon, green electricity, green hydrogen, and green chemical industries, driving coordinated growth across four major industrial chains and more than ten key segments, helping Leshan build a new energy system and a hub for renewable innovation.

At the ceremony, Leshan Deputy Mayor Zhang Guoqing introduced the fund matrix and key industry projects. GCL Group Vice President Sheng Yuxin and GCL Technology COO Wang Yongliang attended and signed agreements with Leshan’s Wutongqiao District and High-tech Zone, cementing collaboration on priority industrial projects.
