China's "domestic" science and technology calculation software is also affecting the waves of the commercial opportunity.
In Chinese companies and universities, the movement of "domestic substitutes", which replaces foreign -made science and technology calculation software with China, is accelerating.This has given Chinese software development companies a good opportunity.
A typical example is cedar tricks.The company announced on June 9 that it has completed the funding of the Series C with a total of about 200 million yuan (approximately 3.4 billion yen), exceeding the initial plan.The lead investor was the parent -bank international and private equity investment of the leading bank giant.It is said that the funded funds will be mainly used for product development, sales promotion, and human resource development.
The cedar trick was founded in 2016 by four founding members who got a doctorate at Stanford University in the United States.The headquarters is located in Beijing and is researching and developing science and technology computing software, mainly called solver.
Solvers mathematically modeling real issues and calculating the optimal solution according to the algorithm.For example, it is applied to the optimal calculation of spacecraft, efficiency of harbor work that handles a huge number of cargo, and optimizing transportation routes for logistics companies.
There are two incidents behind domestic substitutes for science and technology calculation software in China.In May 2019, the US Ministry of Commerce specified the largest telecommunications equipment, Huawei (Huawei), as an entity list (translated by companies that were contrary to the US security and foreign policy benefits.list).Later, Huawei could no longer design semiconductors using the latest (made of US) EDA (automatic circuit) software.
The problem of overseas dependence is highlighted
In May 2020, the Ministry of Commerce added research institutions such as Harbin Institute of Technology to the entity list.As a result, university researchers and students can no longer use numerical analysis software, which are widely used around the world, such as MATLAB (developed by Masworks in the United States).
本記事は「財新」の提供記事ですThese two incidents shook Chinese companies and research institutions, which led to overseas dependence on science and technology calculation software.All three major companies in the world are American companies and have a total of over 90 % market share.In China, overseas companies have monopolized the Solver market over the past few decades.
Until 2019, cedar numbered customers were mainly foreign companies and private companies in China.However, as the US -China relations worsened, many state -owned companies flooded with inquiries from many state -owned companies saying, "I would like to replace it with the software of cedar (cedar mathematics)."With that in mind, the cedar tricks quickly changed their strategies and focused on the huge demand in China.
