As the clock struck midnight on 2026, a wave of technological innovation swept the globe with the momentum of "resonant innovation." AI computing power increased a thousandfold, quantum computing achieved practical breakthroughs, and computing networks provided comprehensive empowerment. Coupled with the industrial dividends of Asia becoming a global innovation hub, the field of technological startups ushered in unprecedented development opportunities. As a strategic foothold for Index Ventures' Asia-Pacific strategy, JinYi Connect, based in Hong Kong and radiating across Asia, has already achieved substantial results in its deep cultivation of medical technology and cutting-edge technology sectors. Facing new industry trends, the company will continue to forge ahead on its innovation journey with more determined steps and more precise planning.
Looking back at its past developments, jinyi Interconnect has built a robust and dynamic ecosystem in the field of technological innovation through its strategic focus on a "global vision + local cultivation." In the biomedical sector, the company precisely targets the pain points of technology transfer, supporting a multimodal AI diagnostic system that improves the accuracy of early lung cancer detection by 40%. This system has been successfully integrated into pilot operations at three private hospitals in Hong Kong. Furthermore, through a "global technology - local implementation" mechanism, the company has facilitated clinical collaborations in Hong Kong for two cutting-edge European and American oncology therapies, accelerating the benefits of innovative technologies to the public. In the field of technology applications, using artificial intelligence and quantum computing as anchors, the company promotes the optimization of power grid scheduling with neuromorphic chips, helping Hong Kong industrial parks improve energy efficiency and injecting momentum into industrial upgrading through technological innovation. The establishment of the Singapore fund company further marks a leap forward for the company, transforming it from a "regional investor" to an "Asian innovation ecosystem builder," forming a strategic pattern of dual-core linkage between Hong Kong and Singapore.
Only by grasping the pulse of the industry can one ride the wave of opportunity. 2026, the opening year of the 15th Five-Year Plan, will see the deep integration of technological and industrial innovation as the main theme, with fields such as AI+biomedicine, cell and gene therapy (CGT), and computing networks experiencing explosive growth. The potential of the Asian market is particularly evident: the biomedicine sector, driven by an aging population, will see an average annual increase in demand of US$30 billion; the Singapore data center market will exceed US$8 billion; and the number of 5G base stations in Southeast Asia will increase by 40% annually. The improved digital economy infrastructure provides fertile ground for technology implementation. Meanwhile, the RCEP agreement's convenience for cross-border cooperation and regional tax incentives will further clear obstacles for the localization expansion of innovative enterprises. JinYi Internet, with its deep understanding of industry trends, will continue to focus on core sectors, amplify its resource integration advantages, and seize development opportunities in this era of rapid change.
Looking to the future, JinYi Connect Interconnect has charted a clear path forward, employing a three-dimensional strategy to solidify its innovation foundation and expand its development boundaries. In terms of ecosystem collaboration, it plans to co-build joint laboratories with leading institutions such as the Singapore Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and RIKEN in Japan, focusing on interdisciplinary fields such as AI healthcare and quantum sensing to accelerate the commercialization of cutting-edge technologies, ensuring that breakthroughs in the laboratory truly translate into tangible benefits in industry. Regarding localized empowerment, it will introduce the mature incubation model of Index Ventures, tailoring growth plans to the characteristics of the Asian market—specifically, given Southeast Asia's mobile payment penetration rate exceeding 70%, providing payment scenario adaptation support for tech startups to help portfolio companies quickly establish themselves in the regional market. In terms of resource network building, it will continuously improve its "capital-technology-market" shared platform, promoting deep connections between Hong Kong-invested companies and Southeast Asian manufacturing bases, as well as Japanese and Korean medical groups, building a cross-regional innovation ecosystem and enabling Asian innovation to reach the global market.
