Recently, the "Nanfang Daily" published a special report, focusing on the exploration and practice of Foshan Nanhai District's Guicheng Street in reshaping its urban core competitiveness through "integration of industry and service" after becoming a "township with a revenue of over 100 billion yuan". The report highlights the entrepreneurial journey of Wang Bowei, founder of ACF Soft Valley Laboratory, who has taken root in Guicheng and realized the industrialization of technological achievements. This not only demonstrates the good innovation ecosystem of deep integration of "manufacturing + service" in Guicheng, but also injects stronger impetus into the company's continuous deepening of material technology innovation and empowering high-quality industrial upgrading.

Rooted in Guicheng for Ten Years, Building a Strong Foundation for Innovation and Development

As a technology-based enterprise rooted in Guicheng for over a decade, the development trajectory of ACF Soft Valley resonates with Guicheng's development layout of "integration of industry and service", serving as a vivid example of the mutual achievements of Guicheng's manufacturing heritage and service industry empowerment. Relying on Guicheng's complete manufacturing industry chain support and full-chain innovation service support, the company has gradually evolved from its initial focus on single technology research and development to become an innovative enterprise integrating basic research, pilot scale transformation, and industrial incubation. Currently, the company has established a professional R&D and operation team of over 70 people, obtained 80 authorized patents in countries such as China, the United States, Australia, and Vietnam, and built a complete development chain of "laboratory - pilot scale - industrialization", becoming one of the benchmark enterprises for technological innovation in Guicheng's "integration of industry and service" ecosystem.

Implementing the integration of industry and finance to empower multiple fields to enhance quality and efficiency

In terms of core technology research and development as well as industrial application, the company has continuously made breakthroughs. With ACF artificial cartilage bionic energy-absorbing material as its core product, it has created an original technology system with completely independent intellectual property rights. This material mimics the three-dimensional ultra-microstructure of human joint cartilage, with an energy absorption rate of up to 97.1%. Its performance far exceeds that of traditional EVA and rubber materials. Additionally, it features lightweight, fatigue resistance, environmental friendliness and recyclability, as well as intelligent response characteristics of "soft under slow compression and hardening under rapid impact". It can be widely applied in various fields such as high-end manufacturing, public health, and sports protection, providing core technical support for industrial upgrading in various sectors.

The company deeply practices the "integration of industry and technology" development concept of Guicheng, promoting the deep integration of material technology innovation with manufacturing and service industries, ensuring that technological achievements are truly implemented and effective. In the field of high-end manufacturing, the company's products have been successfully applied to core scenarios such as shock resistance for server chips and shock absorption for precision equipment, significantly helping related enterprises reduce production costs and enhance production efficiency. In the field of precision equipment manufacturing, by installing ACF shock pads on embroidery machines, precision machine tools, and other equipment, the company has achieved remarkable results: a 75% reduction in vibration amplitude, a 15% increase in production efficiency, and a two-fold extension of equipment lifespan. In the fields of people's livelihood and sports health, the company's ACF protective insoles, with their excellent cushioning and protective performance, provided high-intensity rehearsal protection for dancers during the 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, earning a thank-you letter from the China Media Group. Additionally, this material is also widely used in professional protective gear, anti-fall products for the elderly, rehabilitation aids, and more, ensuring that technological innovation truly benefits people's daily lives.

Deepen collaborative cooperation and build an open innovation pattern Leveraging the excellent innovation ecosystem of Guicheng, the company continues to deepen industry-university-research collaboration and industrial collaboration, establishing an open and shared innovation development pattern. On the one hand, it conducts in-depth cooperation with universities such as Jinan University and Southern Medical University, promoting bidirectional efforts and collaborative breakthroughs in basic research and applied research. On the other hand, it deeply integrates into the economic ecosystem of surrounding cities, collaborating with Guangzhou Public Transport Group and local associations to carry out collaborative innovation, share supply chain resources, and jointly build application scenarios. It actively practices the development model of "research and development in Guicheng, manufacturing in the surrounding areas, and serving the entire chain", helping Guicheng build a high-end industrial cluster with influence in the Bay Area.

In the future, ACF Soft Valley will continue to take root in Guicheng, responding to the national call for "high-quality development + new quality productivity". Guided by Guicheng's development concept of "integration of industry and education", we will persistently focus on the core track of material technology innovation. We will continuously expand the application boundaries of ACF materials in fields such as new energy, electronic precision, and medical care and health, leveraging the technical concept of "impact protection and reassuring guard". Furthermore, we will deepen industry-university-research collaboration and industrial synergy, refine the development model of "laboratory + incubation", and nurture more high-quality innovation projects and incubate distinctive enterprises. Simultaneously, the company will fully leverage the industrial advantages and innovation ecosystem of Guicheng's Qianyi Town Street, empowering industrial upgrading through technological innovation and fulfilling corporate responsibility through achievement transformation. We aim to assist Guicheng in further strengthening its positioning as a "service hub", contribute more corporate strength to Foshan's "integration of industry and education" development and "building a new Foshan", and promote the deep integration and collaborative win-win of technological innovation and industrial development.
