Industrial Metaverse

The industrial metaverse is one of Honghu Zhiyuan’s key investment priorities. Its lead sponsor, IBI, a main-board listed representative enterprise in China’s industrial internet sector, has a strategy built on “platform services, technology-driven, and data-supported.” The goal is to create a new vertical industrial internet ecosystem by combining platform, technology, and data. The industrial internet—based on digital technologies—deeply integrates with industry, supply chains, and value chains, while serving as a key pathway toward industrial digitalization. It also shares deep synergies with the metaverse.

In its industrial digitalization journey, IBI is embracing technologies such as AI and the industrial metaverse to upgrade industries and supply chains. The company actively explores new opportunities, promotes the integration of emerging technologies with traditional industries, and contributes to building a smarter digital economy.

Xu Hai, Founding Partner of Beijing Honghu Zhiyuan Venture Capital, noted:

“The application of metaverse-related technologies, bridging the virtual and real worlds, will improve and reshape user experiences and, to some extent, transform perceptions of traditional industries. Industrial digitalization has always been challenging, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises. The industrial internet, with its composite knowledge, scalability, and proven business models, can effectively advance digitalization. With the metaverse further activating the industrial internet, enterprises can accelerate digital awareness, build digital twins of production, warehousing, and logistics, run deep model training in virtual environments, and develop scenarios for academic exchanges and training. This will comprehensively enhance the digital experience of industrial enterprises. In the future, metaverse technologies will profoundly impact every aspect of industries and enterprises—potentially in a revolutionary way.”
