As one of the pioneers of China’s graphene industry, Tunghsu Optoelectronic has strong industrial influence and execution ability in China and in Asia more widely. We look forward to working with them to progress the commercialisation of our graphene products.

“The relationship with Tunghsu Optoelectronic is complimentary to the others we have already entered into in China and those that are under discussion. We look forward to providing updates as the relationship progresses and announcing further agreements with both industrial and governmental parties in China.”

Versarien plc (LON: VRS), the advanced materials engineering group, today announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Tunghsu Optoelectronic Technology Ltd. , covering cooperation between the parties, particularly focused on graphene industrialisation.

It is listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and is part of the wider Tunghsu Group, which has over 200 wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries, including three listed companies; Tunghsu Optoelectronic, Tunghsu Sky and Tungshu Challenge.

The MOU with Tunghsu Optoelectronic covers the intended areas of cooperation between the parties, which include:

· Jointly developing graphene-related projects including their operation and execution, industrialisation and promotion, leading to sales in China and global markets and exploring more widely products utilising graphene;

· To jointly establish a “Graphene Industry Fund” to promote and support the operation and execution of graphene industrialisation projects;

· To discuss mutual strategic investments for graphene-based projects, the forms of which will be agreed in future discussions. It is envisaged that Tunghsu will provide financial support as well as strategic support and in return Versarien will provide the required intellectual property to enable the industrialisation of graphene-based projects; and

· Focus technical collaboration on projects closely related to both parties’ current areas of activity, such as high quality graphene manufacturing, photoelectric display materials, new energy vehicles, energy storage technologies, LED lighting systems, graphene thermal management materials, and flexible batteries.

The MOU is not exclusive and will allow Versarien to enter into further agreements with parties in China.

Lipeng Wang, Chairman and CEO of Tunghsu Optoelectronic, commented: “Versarien is a leading company and operator in the graphene field in the UK.
