The development of AI Generated Content (AIGC) technologies is advancing rapidly, gaining widespread priority across many industries. According to a recent market study published by iResearch, the AIGC industry in China is projected to reach a scale of RMB 720.2 billion by 2028, with expectations to surpass RMB 1.14 trillion by 2030.

As the demand for AI applications continues to grow, particularly against the backdrop of increasing concerns over data privacy and security, privatized AI deployment solutions are gradually becoming the core focus of the market. As an integrated solution, the "AI-in-a-box" not only effectively lowers the technical barriers and costs for industries in applying AI data models, but also addresses potential data security issues, making it a key area of competition among domestic technology vendors. Through its collaboration with HKBNES, Futong Technology aims to introduce products and applications developed by Futong Cloud (subsidiary of Futong Technology), specifically the "Supool Large Model All-in-One Server", to local businesses in Hong Kong.

By offering a Model-as-a-Service (MaaS) solution through the "Supool Large Model All-in-One Server", enterprise customers will gain integrated access to AIGC-related hardware, software, and services, streamlining computational power deployment, resource scheduling, model repository, and the model inference requirements needed to build AI models. In addition, a pioneering use of container and Kubernetes technologies allows for efficient sharing and management of CPU, GPU, and other resources, enhancing resource utilization rates by up to 75% versus traditional legacy methods, thereby significantly increasing computational efficiency. 

Looking ahead, the partnership between Futong and HKBNES will broaden to encompass artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing, including Supool Intelligent Enterprise Document Sharing All-in-One Solution to enhance knowledge management levels within enterprises. This initiative aims to unleash AIGC applications in sectors such as government, enterprises, education, and healthcare while tackling data security and compliance issues to develop a self-sustaining AI model application ecosystem within secure and controlled environments. 

 Mr. Jian Chen, Chairman of the Board of Fortune Tech Group, spoke at the signing ceremony

Mr. Chen Jian, Chairman of Futong Technology, said, "We are eager to work with HKBN Enterprise Solutions, as this collaboration represents a pivotal step for Futong Technology in helping clients across many more industries advance into the AIGC space. By merging our leading technological strengths with HKBN’s local expertise, we aim to deliver safer, more efficient, and compliant AI solutions for the Hong Kong market, empowering enterprises to innovate and grow in the digital economy."

Dr. Denis Yip, President and Group Chief Operating Officer of HKBN, said, " AI is becoming a critical driver of innovation and growth in the digital economy. Our partnership with Futong Technology opens the gate for innovative one-stop solutions, empowering local enterprises to effectively harness the power of AI. This partnership is set to redefine operational strategies, enabling enterprise customers to adapt faster, seamlessly integrate with AI application ecosystems, drive digital transformation, and maximize efficiency."
