CH INNOVATION (01217) announced that on November 12, 2025 (after trading hours), the company entered into a strategic investment framework agreement with Jiangsu Lizhuo Information Technology Co., Ltd. The agreement outlines their collaborative intent to promote and implement artificial intelligence (AI) applications in the agricultural sector.

Jiangsu Lizhuo specializes in digital empowerment for the agricultural industry and is a high-tech company focusing on full-scenario digital agriculture solutions and complete industrial chains. It has been consecutively awarded the "Smart Agriculture Leading Enterprise" title at the China (Nanjing) Digital Rural Expo and China (Nanjing) International Smart Agriculture Expo for two years.

Under the framework agreement, CH INNOVATION plans to invest in Jiangsu Lizhuo with a capital operation focus, while Jiangsu Lizhuo will leverage its technological R&D, scenario implementation, and business model replication to drive market expansion.

The investment aims to: (i) Support Jiangsu Lizhuo’s overseas market strategy through direct investment and connecting strategic investors, facilitating technological upgrades, project deployment, and nationwide promotion. (ii) Assist Jiangsu Lizhuo in business expansion by developing an integrated AI and unmanned agriculture solution, initially completing a provincial benchmark project, followed by coverage in over ten provinces, and eventually launching an overseas strategy (Southeast Asia, Belt and Road regions). (iii) Enable Jiangsu Lizhuo to standardize and rapidly scale its AI agriculture business model (including technology systems, operational processes, and profit models), fostering independently replicable business modules for partnerships or franchising. (iv) Elevate Jiangsu Lizhuo’s industry standing by building an AI agriculture ecosystem, establishing benchmark projects, and enhancing brand influence and market authority.
