The Zhitong Finance App learned that recently Shenzhen Chuangmeng Tiandi Technology Co., Ltd. (stock code: 01119) and Shenzhen Nanshan Strategic Emerging Industry Investment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Battle New Investment”) reached a strategic cooperation. The two sides will jointly launch a total strategic investment of 200 million yuan in the game industry to support the development of the game industry in Nanshan District. The relevant investment will land on Gametopia (Gametopia), the official game industry incubation platform in Nanshan District. It will focus on high-quality projects in the local game industry in Nanshan where Youtopia has settled, while also supporting the strengthening and expansion of Dream World's distribution business. Zhan Xin Investment is a wholly state-owned company established by the Nanshan District Government. This strategic cooperation marks a further deepening of the strategic layout of Nanshan District's state-owned capital in the game industry.
According to the two parties' disclosure, this cooperation will revolve around the two major directions of ecological cultivation and industrial collaboration.
In the direction of ecological cultivation, the two sides will focus on high-quality projects in the Nanshan local game industry where Tourtopia has settled, covering fields such as game research and development, AI content production, distribution services, and upstream and downstream industry chain support, and will focus on cultivating an innovative ecosystem for the game industry in Nanshan District.
In the direction of industrial collaboration, the two sides will jointly support the development of Chuangmeng Tiandi's distribution business and accelerate the expansion of the imported game distribution business around its reserves of high-potential overseas game products, including “Dream Garden (WeChat version)” and “Mecha Team”, as well as high-quality game distributors, and drive the overall upgrading of the Nanshan game industry chain with the distribution capabilities of leading companies.
State-owned assets enter the game circuit with new investment strategies
Zhan Xin Investment is a wholly state-owned company established by the Nanshan District Government, with a registered capital of 7.45 billion yuan. It focuses on Nanshan's dominant industries such as next-generation information technology, high-end equipment manufacturing, biomedicine, and digital economy. It has cultivated 660 specialized and new “little giant” enterprises nationwide and was selected as the “2025 Top 50 Influential State-owned Investment Institutions in China”. This joint strategic investment in the game industry is an important step for state-owned capital in Nanshan District to participate in game industry incubation as a strategic investor. It marks an extension of the layout of state-owned assets in the game industry from “policy support” to “capital empowerment.”
Landing in Topia: Building a Closed Loop of “Incubation - Investment - Industry Backfeeding” Ecology
This strategic investment cooperation is an important part of Yutopia's “urban government linkage+industrial strategic capital+professional operation of game enterprises”. As a regional state-owned asset platform, Zhanxin Investment will promote the formation of a cooperation model of “state-owned assets guidance+platform incubation+market operation” through the establishment of a collaborative mechanism with Yutopia and Dream World, and form a synergy effect with the existing “Seven Trust” full-chain service system in Yutopia.
Youtopia is a municipal game industry incubator jointly built by the Nanshan District Bureau of Industry and Information Technology and Kexing Science Park and operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dream World. It has formed a four-level linkage system of “provincial guidance, municipal co-construction, district-level focus, and professional operation”. The industrial space is nearly 5,000 square meters. Entering enterprises can enjoy the combined three-level policy dividends of the municipal inclusiveness policy, the Nanshan Special Policy, and Yutopian targeted support. Selected teams can enjoy up to 200 square meters of low-cost office space for the first year, and excellent incubators can also prioritize entry into the Game Industry Cooperation Park after meeting revenue standards. Since it was officially unveiled in April 2026, Yu Topian has successfully hosted two installment roadshows. A total of 32 roadshow companies were selected, and 26 were finally selected. Over 80% of the set-up team had a large factory background, and AI native and AI integrated teams accounted for more than 40%.
In the future, relevant cooperation will be further linked to Yutopia's entry screening, roadshow review and project service processes, providing industrial resource connections, operation support and cooperation opportunities for eligible high-quality projects, and promoting the formation of a virtuous cycle of “incubation-cooperation-industry backfeeding”.
Dream World: Promoting the integration of AI and the game industry with distribution capabilities
For Dream World, this cooperation will further expand the company's connection with the Nanshan game industry ecosystem and promote collaboration between industry resources, project resources and distribution capabilities. Overseas boutique game distribution is an important part of ChuangTiandi's game business. Relying on the advantages of deep source code cooperation, the company is deeply involved in the construction of Evergreen Games through continuous version iteration, world-renowned IP linkage, refined operation and multi-terminal distribution layout.
In the context of the accelerated development of the integration of AI and games, the AI layout of Dream World continues to advance in the two directions of “AI for games” and “AI in games.” “AI for games” focuses on applying AI to game R&D, content production, and operation management to improve the production efficiency and scientific operation capabilities of the game business; “AI in game” explores AI innovation in game content and player experience, focusing on application scenarios such as IP character intelligence, intelligent companionship, and real-time interaction.
Analysts believe that this cooperation between Dream World and Zhanxin Investment organically combines the operating capabilities of industry leaders with the strategic guiding role of state-owned capital, and is an important exploration in Nanshan District to promote the upgrading of the game industry with state-owned capital. With the further implementation of cooperation in Topia, the full cycle development path of the game industry in Nanshan District of “incubation - cooperation - industry backfeeding” will be further clarified.
