The company reported 2023 revenue of 45 billion yuan, up 21.8%, and net profit of 5.05 billion yuan, a near 18% increase. Inovance plans to raise around US$2 billion through the Hong Kong listing to support its global expansion and diversify financing.

The move underscores Inovance's strategy to cement itself as a high-end automation and industrial equipment service provider.
