Company Introduction
Company Profile
Hangzhou He Carbon Chuangwu Technology (LightSyn Technology) was founded by a team of doctoral researchers from renowned overseas universities. Its core members have years of study and work experience at prestigious research institutions—including Wageningen University in the Netherlands, the University of Tokyo, Tsinghua University, China Agricultural University, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences—as well as at Fortune 500 companies. They also possess extensive entrepreneurial experience leading new business ventures in cutting-edge industry startups, demonstrating strong expertise in the commercialization of industry-academia-research collaborations. The company’s headquarters houses an R&D center spanning over 1,000 square meters and has established two flagship technology platforms: the Microagale-Discovery Platform—a revolutionary microalgae high-density heterotrophic fermentation platform—and the Flexibility-Program-Cellfactory—a flexible, programmable cell-manufacturing facility. Additionally, the company has set up four major R&D support centers: a rich germplasm resource library screening center, an experimental evolution and modification center based on microfluidic technology, a world-leading high-density fermentation scale-up center, and a specialized efficacy evaluation and science communication center. The company also maintains a ton-scale pilot production collaboration base in the South Taihu Biopharmaceutical Industrial Park in Huzhou City, and several pipeline projects are currently undergoing pilot production trials.
As the world’s only company simultaneously developing green manufacturing platforms for both marine microalgae and industrial microbial chassis, He Carbon Chuangwu has tapped into abundant marine microbial resources and unique bioactive compounds to create multiple innovative pipeline products. Meanwhile, leveraging synthetic biology technologies, the company has also laid out a portfolio of green raw materials—ranging from organic acids and polyols to derivatives of natural products—tailored to different market scales. These materials hold tremendous application potential in downstream sectors such as beauty and personal care, food and health supplements, and green agriculture. The company has successfully been selected for Hangzhou High-Tech Zone’s “5050” Program for High-Level Talent Entrepreneurship, advanced to the Zhejiang Province finals of the 2023 “Innovation China” initiative, won third prize in the 3rd China Shaoxing “Wanmu Qianyi” New Industry Platform Global Entrepreneurship Competition, and been included in Jiangsu Province’s 2023 Haimen “Dongzhou Yingcai” Talent Introduction Program.
