Shanghai Zuoan Xinhui Electronic Technology

Shanghai Zuoan Xinhui Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., also known as ZAXH, was established in September 2010 by its CEO, Zhang Bo. Before founding the company, Zhang Bo was an investor. His entry into the agricultural sector began after acquiring a technology transfer project from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics to venture into the Internet of Things (IoT) field, which led to the creation of ZAXH.

The company operates in the digital and smart agriculture market, providing comprehensive technology solutions to agricultural enterprises and government bodies. Its business model centers on leveraging technologies such as IoT, satellite remote sensing, cloud computing, and big data to address challenges in agricultural production, management, and services. Revenue is generated by offering a suite of IT products and services, including environmental monitoring, intelligent irrigation and fertilization systems, digital farm management, and data-based quality control and traceability solutions.

ZAXH's core offering is a smart agriculture cloud platform that supports intelligent planting, irrigation, and breeding. This platform integrates hardware, like proprietary sensors, with software to form a complete solution for modernizing agriculture. A key product is the "Shanghai Shennong Pocket App," a system for direct reporting of agricultural production information which supports services like online insurance claims and agricultural loans such as the "Shennong e-loan". A notable achievement includes the development of the "Shanghai Digital Agriculture Cloud Platform" for the city of Shanghai. The company has expanded its services across numerous provinces in China and has also engaged in international collaborations, such as a development agreement in Indonesia. ZAXH has a history of securing funding, with several financing rounds including an A round in 2014, a B round in 2016, a C round in 2020, and strategic financing in 2023.
