HONG KONG, July 10, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - As AI Enters the Industrialization Era, Shenzhou Guangda Steps onto the Global Stage

As artificial intelligence transitions from technological breakthroughs to large-scale industrial deployment, the global AI industry is entering a new phase of development. Market attention is shifting beyond the performance of foundation models toward a more comprehensive question: whether companies can integrate AI computing infrastructure, foundation models, industry applications and delivery capabilities into a complete ecosystem that enables AI to create sustainable industrial value.

This evolution was evident at this year's London Tech Week and the World Future Technology Development Summit (WFT 2026), where global technology companies, industry leaders, investment institutions and research organizations gathered to discuss artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure and intelligent computing. Throughout the events, AI infrastructure, industrial ecosystems and global collaboration emerged as central themes shaping the future of AI development.

Against this backdrop, Chinese technology companies were no longer showcasing individual technologies alone but increasingly participating in global dialogue through their industrial capabilities and ecosystem-building experience. During the summit, Gao Feng, Chairman of Beijing Shenzhou Guangda Technology Co., Ltd. (SINO EVERBRILLIANT), was invited to participate as a representative of China's AI industry and received the Global Tech Innovation Most Investment Value Award.

Meanwhile, Liu Bing, Global Partner of YSS, CFO and Capital Partner of Shenzhou Guangda, delivered a keynote address titled "From Technology Going Global to Ecosystem Co-Building: A New Mission for China's AI Industry Capital," emphasizing that the globalization of China's AI industry is evolving from product exports toward ecosystem co-development. His remarks reflected a broader trend across the global AI industry, where international markets are placing greater emphasis not only on technological leadership but also on a company's ability to translate AI innovation into large-scale industrial applications.

International collaboration has also become an important component of Shenzhou Guangda's long-term strategy. During London Tech Week, Gao Yingxiang, Head of AI Healthcare at Shenzhou Guangda, was invited to participate in the international roundtable on the Physical AI Ecosystem, joining global industry leaders, research organizations and investment institutions to discuss emerging trends in Physical AI and ecosystem development. He also shared the company's practical experience in AI infrastructure, industry AI Agents, AI-powered healthcare and real-world AI deployment.

Guided by its dual-engine strategy of Integrated Computing Infrastructure and AI+, the company continues to accelerate AI commercialization across multiple industries. This debut at London Tech Week not only establishes an international exchange channel for the company, providing a premium showcase for its technical prowess and brand image, but also unlocks fresh opportunities to explore global industrial cooperation and pave the way for future overseas expansion, it reflects a new paradigm for the globalized growth of China's AI enterprises.

AI Models Can Evolve, but Industrial Capabilities Are Far More Difficult to Replicate

As AI enters the stage of large-scale commercial adoption, investors and industry participants increasingly recognize that the long-term value of an AI company extends well beyond the capabilities of its foundation models. While AI models continue to evolve rapidly, the industrial capabilities built around computing infrastructure, engineering delivery, industry expertise and service ecosystems require years of accumulation and remain significantly more difficult to replicate.

This has become one of Shenzhou Guangda's defining competitive strengths.

Unlike companies focused primarily on model development or standalone AI applications, Shenzhou Guangda positions itself as a leading AI infrastructure application service provider. Guided by its vision of "Making Tokens Freer and AI Simpler," the company has developed an integrated platform covering AI computing infrastructure, AI platform technologies, industry AI Agents, industry-specific solutions and nationwide delivery services. Through its Integrated Computing Infrastructure and AI+ strategy, the company supports enterprises throughout the entire AI implementation process—from intelligent computing deployment and model integration to real-world industrial applications.

Underlying this capability is the company's nationwide engineering network. Its Shenxing Cloud Platform connects nearly 200,000 registered engineers, with service coverage extending to more than 300 prefecture-level cities and over 2,500 counties across China, providing comprehensive support for the deployment, operation and maintenance of AI computing infrastructure. At the same time, the company continues to advance its Zhiyuan Large Language Model and industry AI Agent applications, accelerating AI adoption across healthcare, manufacturing, finance, logistics and education while further strengthening its collaboration within the NVIDIA ecosystem to enhance next-generation intelligent infrastructure.

As AI commercialization continues to accelerate, international markets are paying increasing attention to companies capable of connecting AI computing infrastructure, foundation models, industry applications and industrial ecosystems. For Shenzhou Guangda, its long-term competitive advantage lies not in any single product, but in the comprehensive platform capabilities, engineering expertise, industry experience and ecosystem partnerships it has built over time.

From London to the World, Chinese AI Companies Are Entering a New Stage of Globalization

The globalization of Chinese technology companies has traditionally been driven by manufacturing excellence and product innovation. In the AI era, however, globalization is entering a new phase. International markets are increasingly evaluating whether companies can contribute to global AI ecosystems and create sustainable value through the integration of technology, industry and capital.

Leveraging its AI computing infrastructure capabilities, nationwide delivery network, extensive industry experience and deepening sustained collaboration with industry ecosystem partners, Shenzhou Guangda is pursuing a development path that differs from many traditional AI companies. Rather than exporting individual AI products, the company is focused on delivering the integrated capabilities required to support the sustainable development of the global AI industry.

As the AI industry enters a new stage of value creation, capital markets are increasingly shifting their attention from isolated technological breakthroughs toward comprehensive system-building capabilities. For Shenzhou Guangda, London Tech Week represented more than an international appearance. It provided an important opportunity for global investors and industry stakeholders to better understand the company's long-term value proposition while demonstrating how Chinese AI infrastructure companies are contributing to the future of global AI industrial collaboration.

Data Confirms the Order Surge: Modular Building Exports Up Nearly 20%

Modular construction involves breaking buildings into independent modules, completing over 90% of structural, electrical, plumbing, and finishing work in factories, then shipping them to site for rapid assembly. According to Shenzhen Customs statistics, in the first four months of this year, the value of prefabricated buildings exported through Shenzhen port by Chinese enterprises reached RMB 1.68 billion, up 19.6% year-on-year, with products exporting to over 150 countries and regions.

This model is reshaping traditional construction timelines. Overseas project examples cited in the China CCTV report show that dozens of modules shipped from Chinese factories can be hoisted and assembled on-site within just weeks of arrival, with a fully functional building completed 60% faster than conventional methods. Market research forecasts the global modular construction market will surpass $142.8 billion by 2030.

CIMC in Practice: "Building Houses" with Standardized Industrial Manufacturing

Behind the rise of modular construction lies the successful extension of standardized industrial manufacturing principles into the building sector. As a pioneer in this field, CIMC Group has applied its expertise in container standardization and modular manufacturing to construction since 2004. Leveraging over 40 years of accumulated capabilities in standardization and modularization, CIMC has built a comprehensive, integrated service chain covering design, manufacturing, logistics, and installation.

Mr. Zhu Weidong, Managing Director of CIMC Modular Building & Investment Co., Ltd. (CIMC MBI), noted that the company's practice has expanded from senior apartments and hotels exported overseas into the global data center construction boom. In early 2026, a CIMC modular senior apartment project for the UK departed from Dongguan's Humen Port to central England—63 highly integrated modules were hoisted on-site in just two weeks. During the same period, CIMC's first overseas modular office project—the Bastos District office building in Yaoundé, Cameroon—was also officially shipped. Constructed from 78 modular units manufactured to high standards in Chinese factories, the project is expected to be fully operational by the second half of 2026, with construction timelines shortened by more than 50% compared to traditional approaches.

Challenge and Opportunity: Entering the Data Center Growth Track

The China CCTV report paid special attention to modular data centers as a high-growth niche. Mr. You Deqiang, General Manager of Jiangmen CIMC Digital Energy Equipment Co., Ltd., noted that global demand for modular data center business has grown rapidly over the past two years, and the company has delivered modular prefabricated data center projects with a cumulative installed capacity exceeding 1,000 megawatts, spanning Malaysia, Indonesia, the Middle East, Italy, and other regions.

In the modular data center space, CIMC primarily offers integrated "out-of-the-box" solutions covering design, construction, shipping, and delivery for global computing power infrastructure. Its product portfolio focuses on fully prefabricated data hall integration, while also building system capabilities for core functional modules such as power distribution, pre-cooling, and diesel generators. To address surging market demand, in the first quarter of this year, CIMC Group completed organizational optimization and a strategic upgrade of this business segment, expanding manufacturing capacity from a single base to coordinated mass production across three major bases, significantly enhancing overall delivery capabilities. Currently, CIMC Digital Energy is actively exploring Southeast Asian markets, using Malaysia and Indonesia as hubs to radiate across the region.

The Official report has brought wider attention to a key insight: China's construction "going global" relies not just on speed, but on a replicable set of industrialized capabilities. Looking ahead, CIMC Group will continue to deepen its presence in emerging sectors such as modular construction and digital infrastructure, delivering high-quality advanced solutions to global customers and driving a better world.

Under this global offering, Reconova set the final offer price at HK$21.66, with total gross proceeds reaching HK$608 million. The Hong Kong public offering was 3,646.06 times oversubscribed, while the international placing recorded 3.08 times oversubscription. The stock opened trading at HK$18.00, hit an intraday high of HK$22.98, and closed at HK$21.00, corresponding to an overall market capitalisation of HK$6.411 billion.

Mature Commercial Rollout Creates Robust Vertical Business Moat

Founded in 2012, Reconova has built a full-stack technology framework based on the development logic of foundational technologies, integrated technologies and component technologies, and developed a series of intelligent agents for perception, cognition and reasoning. Adopting a differentiated development strategy centred on deep vertical segmentation, the Company prioritises three enterprise-grade scenarios -civil aviation, commercial spaces and driving safety-to build proprietary technological barriers.

In the civil aviation sector, Reconova consistently advances industry smart transformation and has secured an end-to-end market leadership position. As at 31 December 2025, its intelligent products had been deployed in over two-thirds of China's airports with annual passenger throughput exceeding 10 million. According to Frost & Sullivan reports (hereinafter referred to as the F&S Reports), the Company ranked first in China's enterprise vision intelligence product market for civil aviation by 2025 revenue, with an 8.7% market share. Its Yitong intelligent verification terminal pioneered China's first fully paperless, contactless airport passenger passage system with zero safety incidents recorded since launch. The Wanwei smart access gate integrates multiple cutting-edge functions to enable automatic anomaly detection and proactive passenger guidance for travellers with special assistance needs.

In the smart commercial segment, the SINHON Business System has been rolled out across more than 60 large shopping malls. Per F&S statistics based on 2025 revenue, Reconova ranked fourth in China's enterprise vision intelligence market for commercial spaces with a market share of 1.7%. For smart driving safety, the Company's Recadas safety risk management platform serves over 500,000 freight vehicles, and the segment also secured the fourth industry ranking with a 5.7% market share as of 2025.

All three business lines share a unified underlying technology base that enables rapid cross-scenario replication. In 2025, revenue from smart commercial and smart driving safety segments surged 59.3% and 68.0% year-on-year respectively, validating stable revenue growth driven by shared technology assets. Unlike numerous embodied intelligence firms still confined to laboratory R&D stages, Reconova has formed a complete commercial closed loop covering technology R&D, finished products, client cooperation and payment collection, and consistently delivers on its revenue growth guidance.

By following a phased commercialisation roadmap of vision intelligent agents-vision large models-embodied robots, Reconova has built formidable commercial barriers within vertical sectors such as civil aviation, underpinned deep client relationships and high switching costs for industry partners. The Company launched the AntOne baggage handling robot in 2025 to drastically improve airport baggage throughput efficiency, followed by VTFLA, an end-to-end embodied large model in April 2026. It has clearly earmarked a portion of IPO proceeds for VLA model iteration, supporting its development roadmap to launch wheeled dual-arm robots in 2027 and achieve full commercialisation of the equipment by 2028.

Accelerated Global Strategy Forms New Growth Engine

While consolidating its domestic market footprint, Reconova identifies international expansion as a core strategic priority. It implements a prudent overseas development framework of prioritising nearby markets before long-distance regions and replicating proven domestic scenario solutions, with full focus on localised operation to capture overseas market share efficiently. As disclosed in the prospectus, approximately 10.4% of net IPO proceeds will be allocated to strengthen marketing capabilities and expand global sales channels.

Leveraging benchmark project cases and industry technical certifications accumulated in civil aviation, Reconova is accelerating the rollout of its vision intelligence solutions to airports and commercial premises across Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Central Asia to advance its global layout. Senior management stated in prior investor roadshows that overseas markets exhibit strong demand for smart airport and commercial vision systems, and the Company is fully capable of replicating its mature domestic experience abroad, positioning overseas expansion as a key medium-to-long-term growth driver.

A review of recent trading performance of Hong Kong-listed tech IPOs shows an overall uptrend across embodied intelligence and vision AI sectors. Haiqing Zhiyuan, Zhongke Wenge and Ketuo Co., Ltd. surged 270.83%, 84.02% and 203.92% respectively on their debut trading days. Institutional capital clearly favours niche sector leaders with tangible commercial order books and vertical scenario moats. Despite performance divergence among recently listed enterprise AI players, stocks boasting scarce track positioning and clear profitability pathways remain well-received by market funds.

Industry consensus holds that the embodied intelligence sector has transitioned from a conceptual R&D phase to a commercial delivery cycle. Capital in Hong Kong’s stock market will continue to screen leading enterprises featuring proprietary self-developed technologies, proven on-site deployment cases and global expansion potential. As Hong Kong’s first pure-play vision embodied intelligence listed firm, Reconova’s structural transformation from a single vertical sector leader to a multi-scenario synergistic growth enterprise, paired with valuation upside brought by its embodied intelligence product matrix, is expected to underpin its secondary market performance going forward.

HIGHLIGHTS

• First eight diamond drillholes completed at the RIB North Discovery (Figure 1) - as part of the recently commenced 2026 Angilak Exploration Program - outline continuity of mineralization at the primary RIB North area, along strike from the maiden discovery hole, RIBN-DD-001, over 300 m. Additionally, the Company has discovered a secondary, east-west mineralized structure along the western limb of the Mineralized RIB Corridor ("MRC") approximately 1 km from the main RIB North Discovery Area (Figure 2);
• Drilling is focused on widely spaced step-outs, designed to outline the continuity of uranium mineralization at RIB North - the discovery remains open in all directions;
• Six of the eight drillholes intersected uranium mineralization, results are highlighted by:
• Drillhole RIBN-DD-003: Successfully targeted uranium mineralization ~120 m along strike to the Northwest from RIBN-DD-001, resulting in the intersection of 37.0 m of total composite uranium mineralization2 over fifteen zones from 541.7 m to 652.0 m (Figure 3). The widest mineralized interval was 8.5 m of composite mineralization from 541.7 m to 550.2 m with an average reading of 696 counts per second (CPS1) and a max of 4,612 CPS1. The highest-grade interval resulted in 4.5 m of composite mineralization from 571.7 m to 576.2 m with an average reading of 4,589 CPS1 and a max of 14,773 CPS1, including over 1.0 m of high-grade mineralization2;
  • Drillhole RIBN-DD-008: Successfully targeted uranium mineralization along secondary east-west horizon 1 km away from the primary RIB North Discovery area. RIBN-DD-008, intersected 14.0 m of total composite uranium mineralization2 over nine zones from 398.0 m to 646.0 m (Figure 4). Two zones containing high-grade mineralization were intersected, the first from 427.0 m to 429.5 m with an average reading of 2,529 CPS1 including 20 cm of high-grade mineralization with a max reading of 11,798 CPS1. The second was intersected from 436.0 m to 438.5 m with an average reading of 2,711 CPS1 including 10 cm of high-grade reading 11,725 CPS1;
  • Drillhole RIBN-DD-009: The drillhole is on-going but has thus far successfully targeted uranium mineralization 100 m up-dip from RIBN-DD-003. RIBN-DD-009, intersected 17.5 m of total composite uranium mineralization2 over six zones from 298.5 m to 516.5 m (Figure 5). The widest zone intersected 14.5 m of continuous mineralization with an average reading of 1,507 CPS1 including 20 cm of high-grade mineralization with a maximum reading of 13,807 CPS1;
• Mineralization at RIB North has now been discovered on two separate horizons. The bulk of drilling to date, following up on the maiden discovery hole RIBN-DD-001, is located on the eastern limb of the MRC, with continuity of mineralization now outlined over 300 m. The secondary horizon was discovered by RIBN-DD-008 and is located on the western limb of the MRC. Mineralization at both the primary and secondary mineralized horizons is basement hosted vein style uranium mineralization, associated with strong albite and hematite alteration, graphitic + sulphide-bearing structures and overprinting silicification - similar in style and widths observed in Athabasca basement hosted deposits;
• The successful follow-up results demonstrate ATHA's geological model and understanding on controls of mineralization at RIB are proving accurate. In turn, over the remainder of the 2026 Angilak Exploration Program, the Company will continue its systematic approach, targeting widely spaced drilling to define the extent of the mineralized footprint at RIB North;
• Beyond the RIB North Discovery, the Company intends to follow-up on the additional RIB East, West, and South Discoveries from its successful 2025 Exploration campaign. The entire 18 km Mineralized RIB Corridor remains open and unconstrained.

Troy Boisjoli, CEO commented: "The initial results from the Mineralized RIB and Lac 50 Deposit Corridors continue to reinforce our belief that Angilak represents one of the most compelling uranium exploration opportunities in Canada, if not globally. Successfully outlining continuity of mineralization over significant step-outs speaks to the scale of the system we are exploring along with our technical team's exceptional ability to execute. These results represent only the initial results of the Company's largest exploration to date at the Angilak Uranium Project. Our 2026 Exploration Program is executing the drilling component with multiple drill rigs, all of which are intersecting mineralization. Considering that the entire 18 km MRC, 21 km Lac 50 Deposit, and the 14 km KU-Nine Iron Corridors completely unconstrained, is something truly unique - ATHA is just starting to unlock Angilak's potential."

Cliff Revering, VP Exploration added: "We are very encouraged by the results to date across the RIB Mineralized Corridor, with the RIB North area continuing to emerge as a key focus within the broader trend. Building on the initial RIB North discovery in 2025, the 2026 drill program has delivered results that support continuity of uranium mineralization across meaningful step-out distances completed to date. These results are important because they continue to validate our exploration model and strengthen our view that the RIB Mineralized Corridor remains a highly prospective uranium-bearing system.

As we advance the 2026 program, our focus remains on systematically testing this mineralized trend, while continuing to assess the broader scale potential of RIB North and the surrounding corridor. These results provide a strong foundation for continued exploration and underscore the significance of this area within our overall exploration strategy."

Today's release details results from the first eight diamond drillholes completed at the RIB North Discovery (Figure 1) - as part of the recently commenced 2026 Angilak Exploration Program - have outlined continuity of mineralization at the primary RIB North area - located along the eastern limb of the MRC, along strike from RIBN-DD-001 - by +300 m. Additionally, the Company has discovered a secondary, east-west mineralized structure along the western limb of the Mineralized RIB Corridor ("MRC") approximately 1 km from the main RIB North Discovery Area (Figure 2).

At the RIB North Discovery drilling is focused on widely spaced step-outs, designed to outline the continuity of uranium mineralization at RIB North - the discovery remains open in all directions. Six of the eight holes released today intersected uranium mineralization with results highlighted by drillhole RIBN-DD-003, which successfully targeted uranium mineralization ~120 m along strike to the Northwest from RIBN-DD-001, resulting in the intersection of 37.0 m of total composite uranium mineralization2 over fifteen zones from 541.7 m to 652.0 m (Figure 3). The widest mineralized interval was 8.5 m of composite mineralization2 from 541.7 m to 550.2 m with an average reading of 696 CPS1 and a max of 4,612 CPS1. The highest-grade interval resulted in 4.5 m of composite mineralization from 571.7 m to 576.2 m with an average reading of 4,589 CPS1 and a max of 14,773 CPS1, including over 1.0 m of high-grade mineralization2.

Mineralization at both the primary and secondary mineralized horizons is basement hosted vein style uranium mineralization, associated with strong albite and hematite alteration, graphitic + sulphide-bearing structures and overprinting silicification - similar in style and widths observed in Athabasca basement hosted deposits. The successful follow-up results demonstrate ATHA's geological model and understanding on controls of mineralization at RIB are proving accurate. In turn, over the remainder of the 2026 Angilak Exploration Program, the Company will continue its systematic approach, targeting widely spaced drilling to define the extent of the mineralized footprint at RIB North

The 2026 Angilak Exploration Program is largest to date on the project, comprising two components: First, diamond drilling, which commenced operations on May 1st, 2026, scheduled to continue through the end of September. The Company will complete ~20,000 m, utilizing three diamond drill rigs. Second, aerial geophysics, comprising Expert's MMT survey, scheduled to start early July, with resulting 3D Inversion Modeling to be completed by Q4 2026.

With diamond drilling the Company intends to test the following areas:

• Mineralized RIB Corridor: Additional discovery potential and expansion, following up on the highly successful 2025 program, which resulted in the four discoveries of uranium mineralization - including RIB North, where the maiden hole intersected 34.7 m of composite uranium mineralization1 with grades up to 8.16% U3O8 over 0.5 m;
• Lac 50 Deposit Corridor: Testing recently identified, highly prospective, 3D Inversion targets along strike from the main Lac 50 Deposit area, and expansion of the Lac 50 Deposit mineralization footprint which remains open and unconstrained3.
• KU-Nine Iron Corridor: Testing recently identified, highly prospective, 3D Inversion targets, which directly vector from uranium mineralization intersected in the 2025 KU and historic Nine Iron Discoveries.

While the geophysics portion of the program is designed to provide additional targets to the Company's portfolio, and consists of:

• Angikuni Basin: Acquiring full MMT coverage across the 100% ATHA-owned Angikuni Basin. The resulting survey data will be used to develop a 3D Inversion model of the entire Angikuni Basin, the same highly successful systematic approach ATHA utilized during its 2025 campaign, adding to ATHA's already extensive portfolio of regional targets.

Down Hole Gamma Probe

1 A Mount Sopris 40TGU-1000 Triple Gamma Geiger down hole probe was utilized for radiometric surveying.

2 The Company considers high-grade mineralization to be any interval with radioactivity derived from downhole gamma probe >10,000 CPS. The total gamma results provided were selected using an average cutoff of >300 CPS over intervals of 0.1 metre width. Mineralization was previously described as >500 CPS, however, based on assay results from 2024 & 2025, the Company has now lowered that threshold to >300 CPS, as typical results above 300 CPS return grades above 0.01% U3O8. All drill intercepts are core width and true thickness is yet to be determined.

Core samples are submitted to the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon. The SRC facility is ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (scope of accreditation #537). The samples are analyzed for a multi-element suite using partial and total digestion inductively coupled plasma methods, for boron by Na2O2 fusion, and for uranium by fluorimetry.

HONG KONG, July 9, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - As Insurance Turns Its Attention to AI Computing, the AI Industry Is Entering a New Phase

Over the past two years, discussions around artificial intelligence have largely focused on foundation models, AI computing power and commercial applications. Companies capable of developing more advanced large language models, deploying larger AI computing clusters and achieving early industry implementation have often become the focus of market attention.

However, a cross-industry partnership between a technology company and an insurance institution has brought a topic that was rarely discussed in the past into the spotlight: AI computing security. As AI gradually moves toward industrialization, AI computing centers and other forms of infrastructure are becoming increasingly important. How to ensure their secure and stable operation is emerging as a new focus across the industry.

Recently, Beijing Shenzhou Guangda Technology Co., Ltd. (SINO EVERBRILLIANT) and the Beijing Branch of PICC Property and Casualty Company Limited (PICC P&C Beijing Branch) held a strategic cooperation signing ceremony at the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area. Under the cooperation plan, the two parties will collaborate on AI computing security, technology insurance innovation and the development of risk management systems. They will also jointly explore new models such as “product + insurance” and “insurance + service,” providing a full-process protection framework covering construction, operation and continuous services for new digital infrastructure such as AI computing centers and Token Factories.

While this appears to be a business cooperation, it also reflects a new shift in the development of the AI industry. As AI moves toward industrialization, the focus of enterprises is shifting from “how to obtain computing power” to “how to protect computing power.” AI computing security is gradually becoming an important part of industrial development. Why has Shenzhou Guangda taken the lead in this area?

A Cross-Industry Partnership Strengthens a Key Link in AI Industrialization

The cooperation between an insurance institution and an AI company has attracted attention not only because of its cross-industry nature, but also because it reflects a new change in the development of the AI industry. As AI moves toward large-scale application, enterprise attention is extending from models and computing power to system operation, risk management and continuous protection capabilities.

In the past, enterprise AI deployment focused more on models, computing power and applications. Today, as more AI systems take on core functions in production, operations and management, enterprises are increasingly concerned about whether systems can operate stably, how AI computing assets can be protected and how business continuity can be established. AI is becoming a new form of enterprise infrastructure, and the corresponding protection system is becoming an inevitable requirement for industrial development.

Against this backdrop, the cooperation between Shenzhou Guangda and PICC P&C Beijing Branch is particularly representative. The two parties will focus on application scenarios such as AI computing centers and Token Factories, exploring protection solutions for risks related to AI computing hardware, operational incidents, cybersecurity and computing interruptions, with the aim of further strengthening risk management capabilities for AI infrastructure.

In fact, Shenzhou Guangda’s long-term focus has not been limited to AI models themselves, but has centered on continuously enhancing the foundational capabilities required for AI industrialization. From intelligent computing infrastructure and the Shenxing Service Cloud platform to industry AI Agents, Token Factories and its nationwide delivery service network, the company has continued to improve its full-lifecycle AI service system, helping enterprises move from deployment to continuous operation. The introduction of technology insurance further strengthens a key link in risk protection.

Expanding Service Boundaries, Shenzhou Guangda Deepens Its AI Infrastructure Ecosystem

For Shenzhou Guangda, this cooperation is more like a natural extension of its long-term development path.

In recent years, the company has continued to build its capability system around intelligent infrastructure while extending across the upstream and downstream of the industry chain. From intelligent computing infrastructure and the Shenxing Service Cloud platform to industry AI Agents, large language model applications and its nationwide delivery service network, Shenzhou Guangda has consistently focused on the core needs of enterprise AI implementation. The company helps customers address not only AI deployment, but also long-term stable operation.

Introducing technology insurance capabilities into the AI infrastructure service system is not simply an expansion of business boundaries. Rather, it complements the company’s existing technology services by adding risk protection capabilities, enabling full-lifecycle services covering construction, operation, maintenance and risk management.

Looking across the AI industry, as applications continue to deepen, the focus of competition among enterprises is gradually shifting from single technological capabilities to platform capabilities, service capabilities and ecosystem collaboration. For Shenzhou Guangda, this cooperation not only enriches its industrial service system, but also reflects its development path of continuously expanding the capability boundaries of AI infrastructure. As AI enters the stage of large-scale application, the market’s criteria for assessing the value of AI companies are shifting from single-point technological capabilities to system-level service capabilities. This may be one of the key reasons why Shenzhou Guangda deserves continued attention.
