In 1991, the predecessor of GCL Group, Xiecheng Electrical Equipment Complete Company set up a special design office, attaching great importance to innovation and R&D work. This has ever since laid the foundation for GCL Group's tradition of scientific and technological innovation. Up until now, GCL has been considering innovation as its core value, implementing innovation-driving strategies and promoting all-around innovations in its management and running. Innovation leads to differentiated development. Staying market-oriented and thinking outside the box are the keys for GCL’s innovation and revolution.

Technological innovation is the fundamental driving force for the sustainable development of GCL. GCL has set up world-class R&D centers and incubators in the United States, Japan, Israel, Shanghai, Suzhou, Xuzhou and other places. A scientific research team has been set up, composed of 2,800 experts, academicians and postdoctoral fellows at home and abroad with strong innovation capabilities. These eligible institutions and talents have prepared GCL for breakthroughs in key equipment, advanced production engineering, and cutting-edge technology and for GCL to transform into a tech-driven enterprise.
