Chinese start-up joins NetDragon-owned Cherrypicks to push AI solutions overseas


Beijing-based Zhongke WengAI, whose services are used by various Chinese ministries and state media outlets, will also jointly develop with Cherrypicks – owned by Hong Kong-listed NetDragon Websoft – enterprise AI solutions for industries such as finance and healthcare, the partners said in a statement on Friday.
This collaboration “exemplifies the convergence of China’s AI ‘go-global’ strategy with Hong Kong’s innovation strengths”, said Simon Leung Lim-kin, vice-chairman at NetDragon.
He also pointed out that the strategic partnership would help “further cement Hong Kong’s position as an international innovation hub”.

Shares of NetDragon closed unchanged at HK$11.61 on Friday.
