Southeast Asia Information Port (www.dnyxxg.com) reported that the 2025 Automotive Chip Ecosystem Conference (CACC) and the China Automotive Chip Standards Testing and Certification Alliance Annual Meeting were held in Pingshan District, Shenzhen on the 28th. During the event, a ceremony was held to officially launch China Automotive Chip (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd., marking the launch of mainland China's first public service platform for full-standard verification of automotive-grade chips.
The conference, hosted by the China Automotive Chip Standards Testing and Certification Alliance and organized by China Automotive Research and Development Institute and China Automotive Chip (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd., attracted over 300 guests from automotive and chip companies, industry organizations, and research institutions.
With the rise of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, chips have become the core of competition and the restructuring of the automotive industry ecosystem. In recent years, the overall chip shortage has eased somewhat, but the chip industry chain remains unbalanced, with insufficient domestic application volume and a low driving effect. The overall supporting infrastructure for domestically produced chips still needs to be improved, and the standard system still needs to be refined.
As an independent third-party industry organization, the China Automotive Technology and Research Center Co., Ltd. (CATRC) is building mainland China's first comprehensive automotive chip testing platform in Pingshan, Shenzhen. This platform is helping to address bottlenecks in the industry chain and solve the challenges of integrating domestically produced automotive chips into vehicles. The official establishment of CATRC (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd. marks the launch of mainland China's first comprehensive public service platform for automotive-grade chip standard verification. This platform will effectively promote the development and verification of automotive chip standards, inspection and testing, and product quality improvement nationwide, bridging the "last mile" of automotive-grade chip integration.
Following its official launch, CATRC (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd. will fully implement the "1-13-3-1" platform development strategy. This includes one consortium of central state-owned enterprises: the establishment of a legal entity company jointly established by several central automotive state-owned enterprises; 13 high-standard automotive chip testing laboratories covering key areas such as functional safety, information security, environment, and reliability; three industry platforms: the China Automotive Chip Standard Testing and Certification Alliance (South China Secretariat), the National Automotive Standards Base (Chip Working Group), and the Automotive Chip Cryptography Application Research Center; and one National Quality Standards Laboratory (Automotive Chips).
The above-mentioned platform will serve the development of the national automotive chip standards system, conducting research, inspection and testing, industry promotion, application demonstration, international cooperation, and technical exchanges. It will help resolve the challenges of domestically produced chips in automotive applications, accelerate the localization of high-end automotive chips, and promote in-depth cooperation and coordinated upgrades between China's chip and vehicle industries.
During the conference, China Automotive Core Networks signed strategic cooperation agreements with 18 leading ecosystem companies in the industry chain.
In recent years, Pingshan District has continuously deepened its collaborative development between the automotive and chip industries. Through the deep integration of "policy chains, infrastructure chains, innovation chains, industrial chains, talent chains, and capital chains," it has established an automotive innovation ecosystem, becoming a key platform for "Chinese chips" to drive "Chinese cars," providing a unique "growing ground" for the development of the automotive chip industry.
