Recently, the Dongguan Science and Technology Achievement Transformation Fund has completed a lead investment of nearly RMB 10 million in a seed funding round for AKI Vision Technology (Dongguan) Co., Ltd. (“AKI Vision”). This investment will inject strong momentum into the company’s efforts to make breakthroughs in the mid-to-high-end industrial lens market and seize opportunities arising from the ongoing wave of domestic substitution.
As a Dongguan-based high-tech enterprise deeply engaged in the field of mid-to-high-end industrial lenses, AKI Vision has, through years of technological accumulation, established a comprehensive product portfolio that meets diverse industrial needs. Its offerings range from industrial macro lenses for precision inspection, FA/CCTV lenses for automated production monitoring, and large-format line-scan lenses for high-speed assembly lines, to high-magnification ultra-HD telecentric lenses designed for wafer inspection and other advanced applications. Each product embodies significant breakthroughs in core optical technologies. In addition, the company’s lineup of telecentric lenses, zoom lenses, LDI lenses, and a variety of customized optical components can be flexibly integrated with industrial cameras from different brands and models, forming a unified solution that combines hardware, customized design, and technical services. These products have been widely adopted across key intelligent manufacturing sectors such as semiconductor wafer inspection, 3C product precision assembly, and high-end equipment manufacturing, providing critical optical support for industrial upgrading. In particular, within the semiconductor equipment segment, a strategic and high-end track, AKI Vision has emerged as a leading domestic lens manufacturer. Its specialized lenses for die bonders, dicing machines, probe stations, and other core semiconductor equipment achieve performance benchmarks comparable to leading Japanese and German brands in terms of resolution, distortion, and stability.
According to reports, the Dongguan Science and Technology Achievement Transformation Fund was established with capital from the Dongguan Angel Mother Fund, under the supervision of the Dongguan Science and Technology Bureau and managed by the DIG Group. The first phase of the fund totals RMB 100 million, making it the city’s first policy-oriented fund focused on technology achievement commercialization. The fund is dedicated entirely to seed-stage and early-stage projects, focusing on Dongguan’s “8+4” strategic emerging and future industries. Its mission is to address the “last mile” challenge in transforming academic research into market-ready technologies, accelerating investment into high-potential local projects with strong technological competitiveness and promising commercialization prospects.
