About SMIT Company

Guowei Group originated in 1993 and is a semiconductor holding group. Its business mainly covers security chip design and application, integrated circuit electronic design automation (“EDA”) system development and application, FPGA rapid prototyping and simulation system development and application, and third-generation semiconductor product development and production. As the first semiconductor design company in Shenzhen, Guowei Group has successively undertaken national integrated circuit 908 and 909 projects, focusing mainly on security chips and their application fields. It has incubated and cultivated a number of outstanding enterprises, some of which have become the main business entities of A-share listed companies. Guowei Group was listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2016 (“stock code: 02239”). Guowei Group is a key software enterprise and a national high-tech enterprise within the national planning layout. It has received many honors such as the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, the National High-tech Industrialization Ten Year Achievement Award, and the 2017 Top 10 IC Design Companies in Shenzhen in terms of sales. In 2018, Guowei Group undertook the “Development and Application of Full-Process EDA Systems for Chip Design”, a major national “nuclear high base” technology project. The research content was to develop a full-process EDA system with digital chip design, including hardware simulation, in response to the needs of advanced processes and domestic high-end chips. Shanghai Guowei Semiconductor Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Guowei Group, focuses on EDA R&D and sales; Shanghai Silchip (“S2C”) is a leading provider of FPGA rapid prototyping and simulation system solutions in the industry. Currently, more than 400 customers and more than 2,000 sets of FPGA prototype verification systems are used in customer designs. All products are independently developed and have many patents and software copyrights. S2C has an efficient design and support team that has established offices or sales representatives in the US, the UK, Israel, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan to provide customer service and support. Guowei Group and Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology have established the “Xidian - Guowei EDA Research Institute” to solve subsequent EDA talent training problems, and collaborative research and development with universities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is also being actively promoted. Guowei Group will adhere to the strategy of independent research and development, industry-university-research integration, and investment in mergers and acquisitions, and have a comprehensive layout in the EDA field. Adhere to integrated circuits as the core, safety and application as the starting point, diversified development, improve the domestic integrated circuit industry chain, improve autonomous security capabilities, make chip design more convenient, and make information life safer.
