The Overseas Edition of People's Daily Focuses on Nica Optics: The Entrepreneurial Path From Shenzhen to TianJin, with AR Optical Technology Achieving Domestic Breakthroughs!

Recently, Nika Optics, as an outstanding representative of technology innovation enterprises in Tianjin High tech Zone, was featured in the overseas edition of People's Daily's special report "Tianjin's' Old Brand 'Innovation Park - Helping Enterprises Find Land, Money, and Partners". The report provides a detailed introduction to the technological breakthroughs of Nika Optics in the field of AR (Augmented Reality) optical displays, as well as the entrepreneurial journey of the team's relocation from Shenzhen to Tianjin. This report is not only a high recognition of the technical strength of Nika Optics, but also a vivid interpretation of the high-quality business environment in Tianjin High tech Zone.

Two hour decision to 'move', Tianjin efficiency wins the hearts of entrepreneurs

The report mentioned that a crucial meeting on May 6, 2023, completely changed the development trajectory of Nika Optics. At that time, we were starting our business in Shenzhen and met with the heads of the Tianjin High tech Zone Information and Innovation Bureau and Haihe Fund. We were a bit nervous at first, but we didn't expect them to be more proactive than us. In just two hours, they helped us sort out key issues such as policies, funds, and venues. This efficient and pragmatic style immediately made us decide to move

With strong support from relevant departments in Tianjin High tech Zone, Nika Optics completed the overall migration from Shenzhen to Tianjin in just four months and officially settled in Tianjin High tech Zone in September 2023. Tianjin not only provides us with policy support, but also gives us a sense of belonging like a 'home'.

Breakthrough the bottleneck technology of AR optics and achieve 100% localization

As the core component of AR glasses, volume holographic optical waveguide technology has long been monopolized by foreign countries. With its independently developed volume holographic photoresist material, Nika Optics has successfully broken through technical barriers and achieved mass production of optical modules with a 30 ° field of view angle, with performance parameters reaching the international advanced level.

What is even more exciting is that Nika Optics has achieved 100% localization of raw materials, and all supply chains come from domestic suppliers, truly achieving independent and controllable core technology. As of now, the company has applied for more than 50 patents, covering key areas such as photoresist formulation, optical design, and production processes, providing solid technical support for the localization and substitution of the AR industry.

Based in Tianjin, Going Global

The rapid development of Nika Optics is inseparable from the comprehensive services provided by Tianjin High tech Zone to help enterprises find land, money, and partners. With the help of the government of the High tech Zone, Nika Optics quickly completed the site selection and construction of an AR HUD optical waveguide pilot line. The global AR industry highland will start from here.

From a startup team to a rising star in the industry, Nika Optics is using technological innovation as an engine to accelerate the commercial application of AR optical technology. In the future, it will continue to make efforts in areas such as in car AR HUD and consumer AR glasses, helping China's intelligent manufacturing to go global
