C STRATEGIC TEC (01725) announced on August 30, 2026, that it has entered into a strategic cooperation framework agreement with Guangdong Gaochain Digital Technology Holdings Co., Ltd. (Gaochain Digital), outlining a potential strategic partnership and the possible establishment of a limited liability company in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China.
Under the framework agreement, the proposed joint venture would have a registered capital of RMB 10 million, with C STRATEGIC TEC holding 51% and Gaochain Digital holding 49% equity stakes respectively. Upon completion of registration, the joint venture would become a non-wholly-owned subsidiary of the company. Both parties intend to contribute capital in cash according to their shareholding ratios.
The collaboration scope encompasses digital anti-counterfeiting traceability and platform product cooperation, smart hardware, electronic manufacturing with supply chain coordination, industry applications, market expansion, and domestic and overseas business development. C STRATEGIC TEC will fully leverage its advantages in precision manufacturing smart terminals, industrial resources, and cross-border business expansion, while Gaochain Digital will contribute its experience in one-product-one-code systems, anti-counterfeiting traceability, channel management, and digitalized operations.
According to information provided by Gaochain Digital to the company, it has developed multiple intellectual property assets in anti-counterfeiting traceability, the Internet of Things (IoT), and industrial digital applications, accumulating project experience in industries such as alcoholic beverages, consumer brands, licensed merchandise, and hospitality. These materials and the related cooperation relationship remain subject to the company's due diligence and independent verification results.
The parties plan to focus on the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area as a key market, selecting projects with clear customer demand on a market-oriented basis for initial validation, gradually expanding cooperation based on product usability, customer acceptance, revenue collection, and return-on-investment outcomes. No intellectual property, customer contracts, data, or other business resources will automatically transfer to the joint venture as a result of the cooperation, with any such usage or transfer requiring lawful authorization and separate agreements.
The board believes this cooperation will help the company integrate its existing precision manufacturing and smart terminal capabilities with digital anti-counterfeiting traceability, IoT, and industrial digitalization technologies, exploring business opportunities that extend from hardware manufacturing to integrated hardware-software digital services. This initiative aims to cultivate new growth drivers for the group, aligning with the overall interests of the company and its shareholders.
