Every anniversary celebration, it must be a little different.
Recently, on the occasion of the 66th anniversary of the founding of University of Electronic Science and Technology, in addition to celebrating the school anniversary, University of Electronic Science and Technology also established an alumni fund with a total scale of 1 billion yuan as a "birthday gift" to add icing on the cake to the anniversary celebration.
It is reported that the fund is called "Chengdianbang Fund". It is an alumni fund that the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China has participated in. It is jointly initiated by the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Pidu District, Chengdu City and well-known alumni. The total scale of the fund is 1 billion yuan, with the first phase of 200 million yuan. It is planned to invest in early and mid-term and progressive hard-core technology enterprises and projects mainly composed of Chengdian alumni. The investment direction mainly focuses on hard-core technology projects, and the main investment areas are sub-industry such as semiconductors, new energy, intelligent manufacturing, next-generation communications and their extended industrial chains.
In fact, in recent years, China has gradually formed a number of alumni groups, providing considerable support to alumni of our school, and is also becoming a force that cannot be ignored in the investment market.
Alumni Foundation:

"If you are together, you will die." When we were young, we all heard stories of a chopstick that is easy to fold and a chopstick cannot be broken.

The well-known Fujian and Zhejiang businessmen in the country have created their current reputation through joint cooperation and mutual achievements.

The fund mainly invests in seed and angel projects, focusing on new energy, intelligent manufacturing, semiconductors, biotechnology, new materials and other fields.
Shuimu Tsinghua Alumni Seed Fund is committed to creating an innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements of Tsinghua alumni, and uses the alumni network for in-depth empowerment to help alumni entrepreneurs in all aspects in financing, sales, teams, industrial docking and other fields.

In 2021, Shanghai Jiaotong University established Shanghai Jiaotong University Future Industry Fund. This is the first domestic guiding mother fund initiated by a university to support the transformation of scientific and technological achievements of the school and alumni entrepreneurship. It will rely on Shanghai Jiaotong University's profound scientific and technological achievements transformation elements and huge alumni entrepreneurship foundation to give full play to the leverage and multiplier effect of the mother fund, attracting social capital and state-owned enterprises, financial institutions, local governments, etc. to participate. The first fund is expected to scale 1 billion yuan.
In addition, Tongji Alumni Fund is also an active force in the investment circle of colleges and universities; in 2016, the Zhejiang University alumni Zijingang Future Entrepreneurship Fund was established, with a total scale of 12 billion yuan. It aims to integrate Zhejiang University industry, academia and research resources to help entrepreneurial and venture capital alumni develop better.
