SHANGHAI, May 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Viewtrix Technology, a portfolio company of Qiming Venture Partners and a leading display chip design enterprise in China, successfully listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, marking the sixth IPO for Qiming Venture Partners since the beginning of the year. Viewtrix Technology (03310.HK) offered its shares at a price of HK$20.81 per share and opened at HK$25.48 per share with a market capitalization of HK$10.9 billion.

As early as 2019, Qiming Venture Partners led the Series C financing of Viewtrix Technology and continued to support the company's development in the subsequent Series D financing.

Founded in 2012, Viewtrix Technology is committed to providing reliable and high-performance display driver solutions for consumer electronics brands. Adopting a Fabless business model, the company offers AMOLED display driver chips mainly for smartphones and Micro-OLED display backplanes/drivers mainly for VR/AR devices. With years of technological accumulation and product iteration, Viewtrix Technology has firmly established itself as a key player in the display driver chip industry. It is not only the first company based in Chinese mainland to receive brand company certification for AMOLED DDICs, but also the only one to have shipped over 10 million units to these companies.

Viewtrix Technology's AMOLED DDICs have been mass-produced and delivered to various top smartphone companies globally featuring in over 10 different product series. These smartphone companies collectively hold more than a quarter of the global market share.

Alex Zhou, Managing Partner of Qiming Venture Partners stated: "In 2019, China's semiconductor industry was entering a period of rapid growth, and China's mobile phone industry had taken a leading position globally. Tracing upstream from downstream terminal demand, the display chip sector featured strong industrial logic and growth potential. Back then, Viewtrix Technology focused on the core business of display driver chips, which highly aligned with our investment thesis and represented a promising niche segment we were very optimistic about. During the seven years partnering with Viewtrix Technology, Qiming Venture Partners has stood by the company with a long-term mindset, supporting it all the way to its IPO. Today, Qiming Venture Partners maintains an increasingly focused investment strategy, sticking to our proven circle of competence and steadily executing our investment layout. In the technology investment sector, Qiming Venture Partners has long been committed to two core investment themes: First, artificial intelligence, as a General Purpose Technology, will surely reshape all industries. Second, China's world-class capabilities in product design, engineering R&D, and advanced manufacturing deliver global competitiveness. Anchored by these two themes, we will focus on two key areas: AI technology and industrial applications, and hard tech."

Der Asbest-Skandal rund um mehrere Steinbrüche im Burgenland entwickelt sich zu einer Milliardenbelastung für die öffentliche Hand. Nach einer neuen Berechnung der Umweltorganisation Greenpeace wird der materielle Schaden durch Entsorgung und Sanierung mindestens 1,6 Milliarden Euro betragen. Betroffen sind nicht nur das Burgenland, sondern auch Teile der Steiermark, Niederösterreichs sowie Gebiete in Ungarn, in die asbesthaltiges Material geliefert oder verbaut wurde.

Grundlage der Kostenschätzung ist die Annahme, dass seit 1990 rund 26 Millionen Tonnen asbesthaltiges Gestein aus vier Steinbrüchen abgebaut wurden. Greenpeace geht davon aus, dass etwa 20 Millionen Tonnen kurz- oder langfristig auf Asbestdeponien landen werden, während der Rest als Straßenunterbau, Fundamente oder in privaten Gärten in der Umwelt verbleibt und kaum mehr rückholbar ist. Rund 20 Prozent des Abfalls sollen in Form von asbesthaltigem Asphalt anfallen, dessen Deponierung besonders aufwendig ist und künftige Straßensanierungen über Jahrzehnte verteuern dürfte.

Mindestens drei Viertel der veranschlagten 1,6 Milliarden Euro entfallen laut Greenpeace auf die Entsorgung des Materials, der Rest auf Sanierungen. Für die Rechnung wurde ein Entsorgungspreis von lediglich 50 Euro je Tonne angesetzt – etwa die Hälfte des vor Bekanntwerden des Skandals üblichen Marktpreises. Diese Kalkulation sei nur zu halten, wenn rasch neue, sichere und kostengünstige Deponien errichtet werden, etwa in bereits geschlossenen Steinbrüchen, argumentiert Greenpeace. Andernfalls könnten sich die Gesamtkosten nach Einschätzung der Organisation auf mindestens das Doppelte erhöhen.

Die von Greenpeace genannten Summen übersteigen die Umsätze der betroffenen Steinbruchbetreiber deutlich und dürften auch die finanziellen Möglichkeiten des Landes Burgenland überfordern. Die Umweltorganisation drängt daher auf ein Eingreifen des Bundes und fordert, Mittel aus der Katastrophenhilfe bereitzustellen und einen Rahmen für eine kostengünstige Entsorgung zu schaffen. Zugleich verweist sie auf die Verantwortung des zuständigen Umweltministers, für ausreichend Deponiekapazitäten zu sorgen, um Kostenrisiken zu begrenzen und die logistisch aufwendige Räumung der asbestbelasteten Materialien langfristig planbar zu machen.
