Israel China Bilateral Cooperation Article on "Calcalist"

SHENG’s Managing Partner, Ilan Maor, was interviewed to an article on Israel China bilateral cooperation, published by Israel’s leading economic daily “Calcalist”.

In the interview, Ilan Maor noted the high potential that modern China presents for the Israeli industry “the Chinese industry is constantly growing, developing and upgrading tech. Twenty years ago a tech company would go to the U.S. and Europe in part because the industry in China was not at the same level, but today that’s not the case”.

Ilan Maor also emphasized that for China, the Israeli market remains highly respected and the interest in cooperation comes from both the Israeli and Chinese governments and the companies: “It has been clear from government officials that they want to continue economic cooperation and support. Companies constantly want to do business in Israel.”

The article also presented the activities of the event of the China-Israel Changzhou Innovation Park (CICP), in Changzhou – “the main entry point for the growing number of Israeli tech companies flocking to form subsidiaries in China”. Israeli companies receive access to grants and financial incentives, subsidized office space and facilities (manufacturing space, laboratories, workshops), assistance in protecting intellectual property, support in hiring, subsidies for equipment, loans, assistance with permits and licenses, logistic management and other services intended to reduce the time and investment needed to penetrate the Chinese market.

Executives from two of SHENG’s good clients are also interviewed for the article.

Oren Bar-On, the Global COO & CEO of the China subsidiary of Foresight Automotive, who develops autonomous vehicle 3D stereo vision solutions, presented the subsidiary operating in CICP which was established in 2021 and noted that “the entire process was sponsored by the Chinese government though we had to inject some initial capital into the Chinese company. If we tried to establish the company independently it would have been extremely challenging, but everything we did was supported by the [park]. Within three months we had a legal entity operating and registered.”

To note that Foresight will be among the first group of six companies to join the “SHENG Israel – Jiangsu Innovation Hub”, to be launched in CICP in a couple of months, supporting Israeli technology companies, in generating cooperation, business and revenues in China.

Einav Ehra, the CFO & COO of Arineta Ltd., the leader in cardiovascular imaging solutions through cutting-edge technology, noted that China is a very advanced market, as the country investing a lot in healthcare. Arineta partnered last year with Shandong Yituo Medical Technology Development Co. Ltd. in the establishment of a joint venture in Jinan (Shandong). They are one of a growing number of Israeli tech companies establishing Chinese subsidiaries and Ehra noted that: “The process was so fast. After a year, we have a company established, offices and a factory”

The AI Storm

SHENG’s Managing Partner, Ilan Maor, was interviewed to an article on the China “AI storm” and its effect on the stock exchange, published today at the first page of Israel’s leading economic newspaper “Globes”.

In the interview, Maor explained that “DeepSeek announcement is perceived as an evidence of China’s ability to produce high-level achievements, even in the face of the sanctions and restrictions imposed on it by the US and Europe. China has already done this in the field of electric vehicles, but the current impressive achievement is in the core business of the high-tech industry. The success in developing artificial intelligence models that directly compete with the large American models, in which billions of dollars and the best chip technologies in the world were invested – this is already a Chinese declaration of its ability to largely neutralize external pressures, and ensure future technological and economic prosperity.”

Maybe this time it will take it longer to recover, but it will probably manage to successfully emerge from the crisis.”

Maor emphasizes the fact that the Chinese economy is based on a strong and smart industry that has made rapid leaps over the years and has strong capabilities. “Economies in the global environment will continue to seek trade relations with China,” notes Maor. He also estimates that Trump’s trade policy may delay growth in China but will not stop it.

Sol-Chip

Sol-Chip is an Israel technology company dedicated to the development of agricultural IoT systems. Based on the company’s proprietary light chip, the company has developed its own integrated solutions to power sustainable IoT platforms and provide efficient bi-directional data communication and management services to maximize the potential of IoT systems. The solutions have been widely used in greenhouses, fields, orchards, and weather stations around the world. Sol-Chip’s vision is to maximize IoT’s potential to create a more sustainable world, by using the force of digitalization to make farming cycles more efficient – reducing water and fertilizer consumption while improving yields.

With the introduction and assistance of SHENG Enterprises, Zhejiang Garden-Bee Horticultural Technology Co., Ltd. has tapped the potential of Sol-Chip in landscaping, and applied it in the future community stereo greening ecosystem in Zhejiang, complementing for the shortcomings of traditional irrigation equipment and sensors in power, data transmission and management systems. The status of the whole community’s green humidity, irrigation, equipment power and so on are displayed in the cloud-base management platform, which can be viewed and adjusted anytime and anywhere by logging in from a remote location.

In 2019, the Zhejiang government listed “Future Communities” as part of the tasks in the Government Work Report, and became the first province in China to propose the construction of “Future Communities”. In order to maintain the evergreen of the future community, it requires the integration of new technologies of landscaping. In the future community construction of Shibanqiao Future Community in Shangcheng District, Hangzhou, Israeli technology made a significant contribution towards achieving these targets.

The Sol-Chip system named “Soltag”, installed on the roof of a residential building, connects sensors for greenery in various locations of the building, wirelessly transmitting information on soil moisture conditions to a cloud-based control platform in real time, and when the humidity drops beyond a preset value, a command is automatically issued to open the water valve connected to the Soltag to water the green landscape of the entire building. At the same time, the Soltag is leveraging an innovative solar panel on the chip that can power the connected sensors, valves, etc., providing everlasting energy 24/7/365 even when it keeps raining for days. The whole process does not require manual intervention and daily maintenance, which is truly fully automatic and intelligent water-saving irrigation.

SHENG Welcoming Chinese New Year of the Ox

Last week we celebrated the Chinese New Year of the Ox, and the firecrackers which color the skies of Shanghai, Beijing and other cities of China are chasing away the demons of the ending year, and especially the COVID19 demon, and welcoming a new and (hopefully) much better year…

The Chinese economy showed its resilience and strength in the past year, with fast recovery from the COVID19 crisis, achieving GDP growth of 2.3% (6.5% in Q4/2020) with major growth factors being the industrial production, which was strongly supported by the government; the global demand which drove export increase, and the rice in private consumption (with growth rates reaching +7.3%; +18.1%; +4.6% in December 2020). Foreign direct investments into China rose 4.5% in 2020 and reached 11 billion USD.

The growth trend is expected to continue and enhance in 2021, with GDP growth expected to climb to 7.1% (Credit Swiss prediction)
