On October 10, Shanghai Jing’an Capital Investment and Operation Co., Ltd. was officially inaugurated.
According to reports, the company has a registered capital of RMB 12 billion. Following its establishment, it will further integrate state-owned capital fund operations, adopting a model that combines “government-guided funds + direct investment + market-oriented mechanisms.” The company aims to form an investment matrix worth tens of billions of yuan and, through deep strategic partnerships in key sectors such as artificial intelligence, big data, cultural and creative industries, and life and health sciences, focus on investing in and nurturing strategic emerging and future industries. It will promote collaboration between municipal and district-level capital, integrating the concepts of “investing early, small, and in hard technologies” with “investing in innovation, quality, and strength.” By building a full life-cycle industrial ecosystem, the company seeks to leverage the dual role of “fund investment + industrial guidance.” Through “strategic equity holding + market value management,” it also aims to enhance the value of district-level state-owned listed companies.
At the same time, Shanghai Jing’an Capital Investment and Operation Co., Ltd. will take on the functions of revitalizing and disposing of inefficient and non-performing assets, as well as providing financing guarantees. It will amplify the synergy between investment and recruitment, attracting more private capital to Jing’an District’s “3+3” key industries—specifically, new tracks such as blockchain, ultra-high-definition audiovisual, and beauty & health.
Public information shows that Shanghai’s Jing’an District is a global hub for cosmetics headquarters, home to numerous renowned domestic and international beauty and skincare companies, including L’Oréal, Sisley, Clarins, L’Occitane, La Prairie, Charlotte Tilbury, Clé de Peau Beauté, and Ulike.
It is worth noting that not long ago, Jing’an District released the Action Plan for Promoting High-Quality Development of the Beauty and Health Industry in Jing’an District (2025–2028) and Several Measures on the High-Quality Development of the “Beauty Innovation Jingjie” Beauty and Health Innovation Ecosystem Community. The district aims to build, by 2028, a RMB 100-billion-level beauty and health industry cluster driven by technological innovation and consumption upgrading. The plan targets cultivating three to five leading enterprises with over RMB 5 billion in output each, developing ten international flagship brands, and empowering the industry through 50 AI and other digital-intelligence technologies.
