Recently, the Hong Kong Institute of Artificial Intelligence Technology Development (HK-AITRI) and Beijing Shuzhimei Technology Co., Ltd. officially reached a consensus on cooperation between the institute and enterprises. The two sides focus on the digital upgrading and intelligence of physical industries, rely on their respective core advantages to carry out deep cooperation, empower the real economy with cutting-edge AI technology, and help traditional enterprises efficiently complete their intelligent transformation.
It is reported that, HONG KONG ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH INSTITUTE (HK-AITRI) is affiliated with Hong Kong AI Technology Development Limited and was established by a group of scholars and industry practitioners dedicated to transforming industries with AI technology. The research institute is rooted in Hong Kong, building an AI industry laboratory and a collaborative platform between the institute and enterprises, aiming to fill the gaps in the manufacturing innovation system, create a multi-party collaborative innovation carrier, link various enterprises, universities, and government agencies, and jointly promote the high-quality development of advanced manufacturing industries. The research institute focuses on the practical application of physical AI and intelligent agents, and adopts a project-based approach to output research teams and cutting-edge AI technology capabilities, breaking down barriers between technology research and development and industry demand, helping physical enterprises achieve low-cost intelligent upgrades, and creating an industrial AI industry university research collaborative innovation platform for the Greater Bay Area.。
The partner Shuzhimei Technology is a leading AI application innovation high-tech enterprise in China. Its core team comes from Baidu, Alibaba, ByteDance and other leading technology enterprises. Baique Intelligence, a subsidiary of the company, is the first B2B full process intelligent agent platform for foreign trade in China. Relying on self-developed MatchGP and TradeGPT models, it automates the entire process of customer development, inquiry follow-up, and order conversion, accurately solving industry pain points such as customer acquisition difficulties, low efficiency, and high costs for foreign trade enterprises. This project has successively won the top spot in the digital economy industry of "Science and Technology Innovation China" in 2024, the certification of innovative small and medium-sized enterprises in Beijing in 2025, and the qualification of high-tech enterprises. It has been successfully implemented in multiple industries such as electromechanical and decoration manufacturing, helping to improve the efficiency of foreign trade operations for enterprises by more than 90%.
In this collaboration, both parties will integrate industry university research resources and industrial landing capabilities, deepen vertical industry knowledge bases, iteratively optimize AI intelligent agent technology, and establish standardized industry landing templates and methodologies. Relying on HK-AITRI's location in Hong Kong and its advantages in the science and technology innovation ecosystem, combined with the mature commercial AI product system of Shuzhimei Technology, we assist traditional manufacturing enterprises in completing digital and intelligent upgrades at low cost.
