When cutting-edge technology meets industrial development, the power of AI shines a light on the path forward for industries. XtalPi drives development through innovation. Based on the first principles of quantum physics and integrating frontier technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotic experimentation, the company accelerates drug discovery and new materials development. Collaborating with partners from around the world, XtalPi enhances the quality and efficiency of global industries and promotes the high-quality development of artificial intelligence across various sectors. XtalPi’s AI-driven drug discovery initiatives have made breakthrough progress, achieving several milestone innovative collaborations that further enhance the industry's original innovation capabilities. Recently, XtalPi entered into a $345 million platform-based strategic partnership with Eli Lilly to empower bispecific antibody research using AI. This makes XtalPi one of the very few AI drug discovery companies globally that has established high-value collaborations with leading international pharmaceutical enterprises in both AI large-molecule biologics and AI small-molecule drugs.

As a practitioner of green scientific and technological innovation, XtalPi is always committed to promoting the green transformation of production methods and factors. The company has independently developed and built a high-quality data infrastructure that integrates cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, AI autonomous experimentation platforms, and simulation computing, reducing energy consumption, enhancing R&D efficiency, and fostering original innovation from 0 to 1. This creates a "data-driven, people-oriented" new paradigm for scientific research, jointly building a green foundation for new productivity. Relying on the AI autonomous experimentation platform, XtalPi utilizes robotic technology to complete R&D experiments at high throughput and collect data, not only freeing scientists from simple repetitive experimental operations but also facilitating large-scale data production. With its data-driven R&D innovation capabilities, XtalPi won the first prize in the national-level data competition — the 2025 "Data Element ×" Competition. The AI autonomous experimentation platform was also selected for exhibition at the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference National Pavilion and showcased as a key project to present China's innovative achievements in the artificial intelligence industry to the world.

In the coordinate system of social responsibility, XtalPi conveys the power of AI through heartwarming actions, striving to achieve a dual enhancement of commercial value and social value. The company focuses on employee growth, building a platform for fair development so that every effort is respected; at the same time, it engages in public welfare initiatives, emphasizing technology for good and humanistic care, injecting momentum into social development with professional capabilities, and extending corporate warmth to more corners. To support the development of basic education, XtalPi donated hardware equipment such as computers to the Guangdong Education Foundation, providing better hardware conditions for information-based teaching. The "Green Love Computer Classroom" has also opened a window to the digital world for children in remote mountainous areas. Relying on a high-level talent team with interdisciplinary backgrounds and new quality productivity research and development scenarios, the company has hosted multiple events themed “Future Scientists.””Themed open days, research camps, and science popularization public welfare activities, etc., are aimed at disseminating scientific knowledge to primary and secondary school students, stimulating innovative thinking, and contributing to the cultivation of future science and technology innovation talents for the country. During the Children's Day period, XtalPi collaborated with the Shenzhen Care Action Public Welfare Foundation and mobilized all employees to use AI technology to transform poems written by children from rural areas, mountainous regions (revolutionary base areas) into illustrations. These illustrations were made into postcards and greeting cards, which will be donated along with the public welfare "Children's Art Literacy Package" as a回馈 to children who love poetry and have dreams.

In the process of governance upgrading, XtalPi has built a solid foundation with a rigorous approach. The company has established a transparent and standardized governance system, deeply integrating ESG concepts into strategic decision-making, ensuring stable operations through sound mechanisms, setting a benchmark for the industry in "compliance management alongside responsible development." This year, XtalPi was included in the Wind ESG Rating for the first time and received an A rating. The Wind ESG Rating is an important tool for the capital market to evaluate corporate sustainability performance. This rating not only affirms XtalPi’s forward-looking ESG strategy, effective governance, and impactful practices but also recognizes the company’s substantial ESG risk management and sustainable operational capabilities.

In the future, XtalPi will continue to practice the development concept of "technology for good" as a pioneer, and lead more partners to steadily advance on the path of technological innovation and responsibility, jointly building a sustainable and better future.
