Faced with the impact of automotive chip shortage caused by COVID-19, the National New Energy Vehicle Technology Innovation Center, initiated by BAIC and granted by the Ministry of Science and Technology, established the "Innovation Strategy Alliance of China Automotive Chip Industry" in September 2020, which integrates the two industries of automobile and chip, and combines upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. Its member units include more than 70 enterprises and public institutions, such as vehicle enterprises, automotive chip enterprises, automotive electronics suppliers, automotive software suppliers, universities and institutes, and industry organizations, aiming to establish the innovation ecology of China's automotive chip industry, and to help China's automotive chip industry to develop independently, safely and controllably, comprehensively and rapidly. Since the establishment of the Alliance, under the guidance and support of related ministries and commissions at national and Beijing municipal levels, it has completed the release of “The handbook for supply and demand match of vehicle semiconductors” and the signing ceremony of vehicle chip insurance contract. Together with industry institutions, it has taken the "research on the construction of automotive chip standard system", joined industry peers in preparing group standards on pure electric passenger car chips, and held events such as The Innovation Rally of China Automotive Chip Application. It helps to boost the supply side of chips from the demand side of automobiles, and promote innovation with a more open attitude.
