Legend Holdings Corporation was founded in 1984 by 11 researchers including Mr. Chuanzhi Liu with funding from the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Along with China's economic development and social progress, after over 40 years of growth, the company has now become a diversified-industries operation & investment group with roots in China, serving the domestic market while engaging in international business. It has incubated and invested in numerous industry-leading enterprises, including Lenovo Group, Levima Advanced Materials, Banque Internationale à Luxembourg, Legend Capital, Legend Star, Hony Capital, Lakala, and Fullhan Microelectronics, among others. In 2025, the company ranked No. 47 among China’s Top 500 Enterprises.
With the mission of “serving the country through industry”, the company focuses on technological innovation and the real economy, and has established two business segments of “Diversified-industries Operation” and “Industrial Incubations and Investments”. Through strategic management, operation improvement, resource allocation, financial support, and value-added services, etc., we are committed to building industrial pillars, and incubating or investing in promising frontier technologies, start-up, and growing-stage enterprises, to promote the continuous growth of the company's overall value and contributing to the high-quality development of China's economy.
The company's business focuses on emerging and future industries, such as smart manufacturing, artificial intelligence, new energy, new materials, semiconductors, and biomedicine. It has invested in more than 1,000 sci-tech innovation enterprises, including nearly 220 national-level specialized and sophisticated “Little Giants”.
The company places high importance on ESG development and has established a clear sustainable development strategy centered on five core areas: corporate governance, technological innovation, public welfare, green and low-carbon development, and employee development. In the realm of public welfare, the company focuses particularly on rural revitalization and technological innovation, with systematic planning and long-term commitment.
In 2015, the company was listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HK: 03396). As of the end of 2025, the company's total revenue reached RMB 605.945 billion, with a net profit of RMB 9.799 billion and total assets of RMB 774.524 billion. Its industrial chain spans over 2,000 enterprises, directly generating employment for more than 300,000 people, and over the past 15 years, it has contributed RMB 210.0 billion in taxes to the state.
After more than four decades of continuous exploration, practice, and reflection, Legend Holdings has achieved breakthroughs in four key areas:
-
1
Pioneering a China-specific pathway for the industrialization of scientific research institutions, while its diversified-industries operation, and industrial incubations and investments businesses both actively contribute to the technological innovation and industrialization across Chinese enterprises.
-
2
Responding to national priorities and anchoring in the domestic market, ultimately prevailing in competition with international computer giants. This success catalyzed the growth of a broad cohort of Chinese IT companies, helped bring computers into households and industries nationwide, and laid a solid foundation for China’s informatization and the rapid expansion of the internet. At the same time, Legend Holdings and its portfolio companies’ internationalization and overseas M&A have generated valuable experience for Chinese enterprises going global.
-
3
Implementing shareholding reform with the impetus and support of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, establishing a strong foundation for the company’s long-term development.
-
4
Formulating a corporate management framework centered on the “Three Elements of Leadership,” and cultivating outstanding leaders.
