The International Memory Summit & Memory Base Inauguration Ceremony was held in Wuhan Optics Valley on March 28, 2016.

The National Memory Base with a total investment of 24 billion U.S. dollars was inaugurated in Wuhan East Lake Hi-tech Development Zone. It is the largest individual hi-tech industry project in Hubei since 1949.

Located in the Optics Valley Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park of Wuhan East Lake Hi-tech Development Zone, the project includes chip manufacturing and industrial chain supporting, etc. It plans to invest 24 billion U.S. dollars in five years, and the monthly output is estimated to reach 300,000 chips by 2020 and one million chips by 2030.

The memory base will integrate product design, technology research and development, wafer fabrication and test and market. After completion, the base will drive the development of related industries in Hubei, including design, packaging, manufacturing, application, etc. A trillion level “chip-display-intelligent terminal” whole industrial chain will be realized together with Hubei’s display industry represented by CSOT and Tianma Corp. and intelligent terminal industry represented by Huawei, Lenovo and Foxconn.

In 2006, Hubei province, Wuhan city and East Lake Hi-tech Development Zone invested 10 billion Yuan to build the Wuhan New Chip 12-inch wafer manufacturing project. By now, Wuhan New Chip has become China’s only integrated circuit manufacturing firm which is primarily engaged in memory production. Besides, a special investment fund for Hubei’s integrate circuit industry with a scale of 50 billion Yuan has also been established.
