Company Profile

Founded in 2014, Nanochap is a technology company specializing in the R&D, manufacturing, and commercialization of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and biochips. Nanochap is among the earliest companies in China dedicated to the development of visual BCI technologies.

Focused on restoring vision for people with blindness, Nanochap has pioneered a dual-pathway strategy for high-resolution artificial vision: E-BCI, an electronic retinal implant, and V-BCI, an implant targeting the visual cortex. Together, these complementary technologies aim to address a broad range of vision-loss conditions. The maximum number of signal acquisition and stimulation channels has reached 1,280, with core performance metrics ranking among the most advanced in the field and positioning Nanochap at the forefront of global visual restoration technology.

Nanochap has successfully established a full-stack technology platform spanning from core integrated circuits to system-level algorithms, achieving breakthroughs in a range of critical technologies, including high-density 3D electrodes, high-throughput BCI chips, ultra-precision MEMS processes, dynamic parameter control, and charge-balancing technologies. These capabilities form a robust technological foundation and create a strong competitive advantage in core technologies.

Backed by strong R&D capabilities, Nanochap has earned recognition as a National-Level “Little Giant” Enterprise and a National High-Tech Enterprise, and has been selected as a Zhejiang Provincial Leading Innovation and Entrepreneurship Team.
