The first selection round of the Group's industry accelerator recently concluded, with several early-stage projects in AI applications and cross-border themes officially onboarded.
Instead of a one-off cheque, selected projects receive a long-term combination of industrial resources, technology and capital — with priority access to the Group's technology platform, overseas channels and supply-chain network.
The accelerator opens applications once a year, focusing on directions that synergise with the Group's industrial ecosystem.
"We are not looking for short-term wins," the Group investment committee noted, "but for teams we can walk with for many years."
