Dr. Gong Zhengjun said, "Neo Telemedia has an outstanding management team and abundant industrial resources. Capitalizing on its extensive platform, I hope to be able to explore big data in much greater depth and, with a focus on developing innovative business models, help the Group continuously expand its business."

With big data and cloud computing gaining prominence in society, the Group has seized the opportunity to enter the US$100 billion IoT market. It set up the Big Data Innovation Alliance last year with the aim of meeting the demands of governments and corporate clients, as well as pooling wisdom via financing platforms to help the Group quickly respond to the needs of the industry and drive the development of its big data business. The Group hopes to take advantage of the strategic positioning of the alliance to offer planning consultation services to the government and industrial IoT sectors, explore innovative business models and find more cooperative partners, all for consolidating its industry position and broadening its customer base.

Looking ahead, the Group will tap the advantages of the Big Data Innovation Alliance and its talented team, putting their strengths in scientific research and technologies to full use, continue to explore potential investment and cooperation opportunities in the Internet data centre, cloud computing and big data sectors, so as to ultimately create social and economic value, and take its business to new heights while also fostering development of the big data industry.
