On May 29, 2025, a public welfare action started warmly at the inaugural meeting of the Zhejiang Representative Office of the China-Africa Chamber of Commerce. ZHEJIANG NUROTRON BIOTECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. donated 10 sets of independently developed cochlear implants to the China-Africa Chamber of Commerce (Zhejiang). This is not only the transmission of medical technology, but also a vivid footnote to the China-Africa friendship in the new era – when China’s innovative “light of science and technology” shines into the silent world of the hearing-impaired in Africa, the story of the China-Africa community with a shared future has a warmer resonance.
Knocking on the Door of Hope in Africa with “Chinese Chips”
“Hearing the world” is instinctive for ordinary people, but it is a luxury for the 430 million hearing-impaired people in the world. In Africa, many hearing-impaired children are trapped in silence for life and lose the opportunity to receive education and participate in society. The donation from Nurotron is the key to breaking this dilemma with hard-core technology.
As a leading company in the field of cochlear implants in China, Nurotron has achieved a number of world-leading technological breakthroughs through 20 years of hard work:
– “Chinese Chip” Hard-core Strength: The independently developed SoC chip has the highest data transmission rate in the industry, allowing every detail of the sound to be clearly seen;
– 24-channel Precise Stimulation: The sound is as delicate as that of a piano keyboard, especially adapted to the four-tone encoding of Chinese, helping African users overcome language barriers;
– Intelligent Scene Recognition: noise reduction, Bluetooth direct connection, remote mapping and other functions allow the hearing impaired to “hear the world clearly” in any environment.
– Bluetooth Technology: Regardless of the brand of mobile phone or smart watch, users can enjoy true wireless technology, listening to audio and making calls without any obstacles.
– Noise-reduction Technology: Improves speech recognition and tone perception in noisy environments, making listening more accurate and communication easier.
– Intelligent Positioning: If the speech processor is lost and disconnected from the mobile phone while in working state, the APP will automatically record the location information.
-Remote Mapping: You can initiate a mapping application online, and the mapping process is transmitted in two directions, making it easier for the audiologist to observe the user’s situation.
These technologies are not just cold data in the laboratory, but also a powerful force to change lives. As Su Zhen, a user of Nurotron cochlear implant, said, hearing impairment has built a high wall between her and the outside world. She can’t go out and others can’t come in. The cochlear implant has gradually freed her from the loneliness and helplessness brought to her by the silent world. It is like a key to open the door to the world and help her reconnect with the world. Su Zhen truly started from the perspective of the hearing-impaired people, conveyed the voices of the hearing-impaired people, and proved to the world that Nurotron wants to bring the hope of “sound” to the hearing-impaired people.

Public Welfare Without Boundaries
At the donation ceremony, Lu Yuxiao, deputy secretary-general of the Zhejiang Disabled Persons Welfare Foundation, said emotionally: “True friendship is not a one-way gift, but a two-way cultural, technological dialogue and capacity building.” These words reveal the deeper meaning of this action – it marks a new stage in China-Africa cooperation from traditional aid to “technology sharing.”
The African continent is an important partner of China’s “Belt and Road” initiative, and Zhejiang, as a highland of private economy, has always been at the forefront of cooperation. In recent years, Zhejiang enterprises have used digital economy and medical technology as a link to build a “Health Silk Road” with African countries. Nurotron’s donation is a microcosm of this concept:
– From “blood transfusion” to “blood production”: In the future, the two parties will carry out cooperation in telemedicine and rehabilitation training to make the technology take root;
-From “assistance” to “win-win”: Chinese technology helps improve people’s livelihood in Africa, and the African market also provides development space for Chinese companies.
As the chief representative of the China-Africa Chamber of Commerce in Zhejiang said, “When African children hear their mothers’ calls for the first time through Chinese technology, and when engineers from the two countries work together to overcome the technical difficulties of telemedicine, this is the most moving picture of the China-Africa community with a shared future.”

Nurotron Global Responsibility
Nurotron’s public welfare activities demonstrate the dual responsibilities of Chinese high-tech enterprises:
- Breaking through the barriers of technology: Breaking the foreign monopoly and making high-end medical equipment accessible to ordinary families;
- Global Citizen: Deeply integrate corporate development with social responsibility and practice the original intention of “universal access to science and technology”.
Jin Xia, chairman of Qihang Charity, revealed in an interview that Nurotron will also carry out in-depth collaboration in the fields of telemedicine, rehabilitation of hearing-impaired people, hearing medicine, and intelligent assistive device research and development. This “technology + charity” model is exactly the innovative path for Chinese companies to participate in global governance – eliminating inequality with innovative achievements and conveying warmth with sincere cooperation.

Conclusion: Hear the Future, Createa Brilliant Chapter Together
Nurotron’s good deeds are like a seed, sown in the fertile soil of China-Africa cooperation. We hope that more companies will join this “Innovation Silk Road” in the future, let the light of technology illuminate more corners, and let the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind shine in every moment of “hearing the world”.
Technology has no borders, and love has no boundaries. Hear hope, let us go hand in hand!
