Recently, the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology officially released the list of enterprises recognized as Provincial Enterprise Research Institutes for 2025. With its systematic innovation capabilities in visual recognition assistance and optical control, a sustainable R&D framework, and remarkable achievements in industrialization, Fangqian successfully passed the evaluation and was awarded the title of "Zhejiang Provincial Enterprise Research Institute." This recognition not only represents a high acknowledgement of Fangqian’s long-term commitment to technological depth and systematic innovation, but also marks a new stage as the company continues to build high-level R&D platforms and lead technological advancement across the industry.

Public announcement details are as follows:

As one of the earlier high-tech enterprises in China to deploy intelligent vision and optical control technologies, Fangqian has always regarded technological innovation as the core driving force of corporate development. Centering on the concept of “intelligent synergy between light and vision,” we have gradually built a complete R&D system covering key technologies such as intelligent optical design, adaptive optical control algorithms, multi-device IoT management, and enhanced visual analytics, forming a full-stack product layout from core components and control software to system-level platforms. The recognition as a Provincial Enterprise Research Institute is a concentrated affirmation of our systematic efforts in technological accumulation, team building, R&D investment, and the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into practical applications.

The establishment of a Provincial Enterprise Research Institute is not only an honor for Fangqian, but also a new starting point and platform. It will strongly drive us to further integrate internal and external R&D resources, strengthen industry–academia–research collaboration with universities and research institutes, and focus on frontier directions and key common technologies for joint breakthroughs. In the future, the Research Institute will concentrate on two major directions — "intelligent perception optical assistance systems" and "visual enhancement and decision support." It will deepen exploration in areas such as eco-friendly supplementary lighting, high-frequency precision control, multimodal perception fusion, and AI-driven light-field regulation, striving to overcome perception bottlenecks in complex scenarios and promote the improvement of relevant technical standards and industrial ecosystems.

As an innovative enterprise in the field of visual recognition technologies in China, Fangqian has always been committed to breakthroughs in core areas such as optical control and intelligent management analytics. Being selected for this directory is not only an encouragement, but also a responsibility. Moving forward, we will continue to advance technological upgrades in line with industry development needs, increase our investment in intelligent visual recognition management software systems, deepen cooperation with universities, research institutes, and industry partners, and actively explore broader application scenarios. By accelerating the transformation of innovations from laboratories into real-world use, we aim to provide reliable lighting environments that support digital and intelligent transformation across more sectors, contributing to the high-quality development of the software industry in Zhejiang Province and across China.

We clearly understand that technological innovation must ultimately serve industrial progress and societal needs. Fangqian’s Enterprise Research Institute will remain market-oriented and problem-driven, accelerating the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into real productivity. Through this research platform, we will provide more efficient, more reliable, and greener visual perception and optical environment solutions for smart transportation, industrial visual recognition, public safety, smart cities, and other fields — supporting digital and intelligent transformation across industries.

We also look forward to joining hands with partners from all sectors to illuminate the future of intelligent visual perception, and to empower a better world with the light of technology.
