Driven by innovation, led by technology, and committed to low-carbon development. On June 25, the 2026 “Fortune” China Top 50 Technology Companies list was unveiled. GCL Technology stood out thanks to two decades of cutting-edge original technology, its commitment to low-carbon industrialization across the entire value chain, and its forward-looking strategic transformation in new energy materials. The company has successfully joined the ranks of China’s top technology enterprises, demonstrating the robust scientific and technological strength of China’s new energy materials companies as they lead the global low-carbon race.

This selection process involved a comprehensive evaluation across multiple dimensions, including core technological barriers, R&D investment, commercialization, and global expansion. GCL Tech’s inclusion on the list stems primarily from its in-depth strategic transformation that transcends the narrow scope of the polysilicon sector. With its self-developed FBR granular silicon technology serving as the foundation of its business, the company has firmly established itself as the global leader in granular silicon thanks to its low-carbon, low-cost, and high-purity characteristics. Its mature closed-loop silane process, large-scale manufacturing capabilities, and comprehensive patent portfolio have laid a solid foundation for the company to develop its second and third growth curves. In the perovskite sector—a key area of its strategic transformation—GCL Tech has taken the lead in achieving industrial breakthroughs. The company has established the world’s first GW-scale perovskite tandem module production line, with large-size mass-produced modules boasting industry-leading efficiency, a production line yield rate exceeding 98%, and mass production costs significantly lower than those of traditional crystalline silicon. The company has successfully completed the world’s first in-orbit space test of perovskite modules and is simultaneously advancing a dual-track strategy encompassing both terrestrial and space-based photovoltaics to secure a leading position in next-generation photovoltaic technology.

The lithium battery materials sector is executing a synchronized dual-track layout for both cathode and anode products. For the cathode segment, the lithium iron phosphate (LFP) project has successfully landed in Leshan, with a 200,000-ton capacity currently undergoing commissioning. Utilizing a green and minimalist iron oxide (Fe2O3) process, the products have been certified by multiple leading energy storage and power battery enterprises, achieving mass supply. On the anode front, leveraging the competitive advantages of its proprietary silane process, the sector has established a silicon-carbon anode layout to targetedly address the industry pain point of silicon material expansion in lithium batteries. These products are tailored for large cylindrical, energy storage, and solid-state batteries, with a pilot production line planned for launch within the year. Backed by closed-loop production to realize significant cost advantages, the company has fully established a diversified new energy materials blueprint spanning "Silicon, Lithium, and Carbon."

Continuous and stable R&D investment serves as the core pillar for strategic transformation. In 2025, the company invested RMB 849 million in R&D, with a research team of over 2,100 personnel, accounting for 24% of the total workforce. To date, the company has accumulated nearly 2,000 patent applications, established a well-rounded overseas patent portfolio, and maintained a research team dedicated to tackling frontier technologies. Adhering to the principle that technological innovation must align with industrial demands, the company has broken through market trust barriers for new technologies and efficiently advanced commercialization via joint validation and co-built demonstration bases with downstream clients. Concurrently, global expansion is accelerating. Headquartered in Hong Kong, GCL Tech has strategically deployed R&D and production bases across multiple domestic and overseas locations. The company has completed the acquisition of core overseas patents, planned advanced manufacturing projects abroad, and leveraged the advantages of its low-carbon products to tap into global markets, thereby hedging against industrial cyclical pressures.

A relevant spokesperson from GCL Tech stated that being listed on the ranking is a full validation of the company’s sci-tech transformation roadmap. Looking ahead, the enterprise will continuously deepen its strategic upgrade from a granular silicon "single-product champion" to a globalized, multi-product new energy materials platform. By iterating low-carbon silicon-based products and accelerating the capacity release of perovskite, LFP, and silicon-carbon anodes, GCL Tech aims to empower the global energy transition with Chinese-originated low-carbon technologies.
