About us
The Brazil node of Zhongguancun\u2019s global innovation network
This office is not an independent intermediary. It reports to ZGC International Holding Limited — the wholly owned overseas arm of Zhongguancun Development Group and operator of the group\u2019s single overseas network.
Institutional affiliation
Zhongguancun Development Group Co., Ltd.
Beijing municipal state-owned enterprise. Four business lines: investment, financial services, integrated services, innovation network. Stated mission: to become a world-class innovation-ecosystem integrator.
ZGC International Holding Limited
Wholly owned overseas arm of the group, operating its single overseas network. Runs a three-in-one platform — innovation network, innovation funds, cross-border services — with 30-plus overseas innovation network nodes across North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

What this means for counterparties
A connection made in São Paulo runs back to the group\u2019s parks, funds and portfolio companies in Beijing. And the office delivers the same standardised service set used at every other node — already run elsewhere, not improvised for Brazil.
Standard services across network nodes
- Cross-border business missions and study programmes
- Integrated go-global services for enterprises
- Overseas investment- and talent-attraction stations
- Investment advisory
- Government missions abroad · trade fairs and events

Zhongguancun
The supply side behind us
Behind the Office sits the Zhongguancun innovation ecosystem: direct access to Beijing's parks, universities and funds.
| Resource | Scale / fact | What it means for partners |
|---|---|---|
| Themed parks | 64 | AI, semiconductors, healthcare and pharma, embodied intelligence, quantum — with the supply chain concentrated |
| Universities and institutes | Dozens within 3 km | Lab research, pilot production and industrialization all close the loop inside Zhongguancun |
| Registered AI models | 130+ (Beijing) | About a quarter of the national total; the world's first AI district was established here |
| AI association | China's first municipal one | Founded by the Zhongguancun Development Group; enables joint training programs |
| Innovation finance | National pilot zone | The national science-and-technology finance reform zone sits here; investment is the group's core business |
Sector focus, aligned with the parks
We follow the industrial layout of the Zhongguancun parks: artificial intelligence first, biopharma second; fintech serves as the capability base for both rather than a separate line.
