SIE Makes Strategic Investment in Ai4C, Jointly Promoting the Implementation of Enterprise-Level Agents and Multi-Level Customizable Agents
Against the backdrop of the policy support from the State Council’s issuance of Opinions on Further Implementing the "Artificial Intelligence +" Initiative, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and the real economy is reaching new heights. As a leading domestic digital solution service provider, SIE actively responds to policy calls and has made a strategic investment in Ai4C (Zhiyong Kaiwu), a company focusing on the enterprise AI Agent field, to accelerate the deployment and implementation of AI technology across various industries.
As a cutting-edge AI technology, AI Agents can independently perceive, make decisions, and execute tasks, empowering the intelligent transformation of thousands of industries. Currently, the iteration of new-generation large models represented by DeepSeek-V3.1 has clearer outlined the future evolution trend of AI Agent technology, pointing the way for industry development: In the future, AI Agents will form three core development paths—"built by users for themselves, built by vendors for users, and built by organizations for employees"—and their implementation must rely firmly on the three elements of "data-model-interface", driving the construction of intelligent agents toward the direction of "low threshold", "high efficiency", and "greater reliability". This trend is highly aligned with Ai4C’s technological layout.
Ai4C has deep expertise in AI Agent technology R&D and scenario-based applications. Its "Navi", a new-generation enterprise-level intelligent agent team platform, has been successfully applied in multiple industries, demonstrating outstanding capabilities. As an agent-building platform, in addition to enterprise-level Agents, Ai4C also supports multi-turn dialogue to generate Agent teams, realizes collaborative planning through dynamic routing, and can further extend to departmental and employee levels—enabling users without technical backgrounds to custom-build agents. This capability not only effectively enhances employees’ professional competence and automates complex business workflows but also, through industry knowledge training, allows agents to become "professional experts" in specific fields, thereby precipitating and reusing profound industry expertise.
SIE laid out its "AI+" strategy years ago, forming a dual-track approach: "Vertical AI integrates industrial mechanisms to take root in industry Know-How; Horizontal AI networks to empower cross-system business collaboration". This strategic investment in Ai4C is a precise insight into the development trend of AI Agents. By integrating resources from both parties, SIE will strengthen its R&D capabilities in hybrid reasoning, low-threshold construction, and multi-agent collaboration, and lock in the full-level AI Agent implementation path covering "enterprise-department-employee" in advance—marking a key step in seizing the technological high ground in the future.
This strategic investment cooperation is of great significance for advancing the in-depth industry application of AI.
- In manufacturing: SIE and Ai4C will join forces to apply AI Agent technology, creating an intelligent production and operation management system for manufacturing enterprises based on "industrial intelligent agents". These agents will real-time perceive equipment status and material inventory, make independent decisions, optimize resource allocation, schedule production processes, and ultimately improve efficiency while reducing costs.
- In supply chain management: AI Agents will analyze multi-source data in real time to achieve intelligent warehouse management and transportation planning, helping build an agile and efficient supply chain system.
- In modern services, new energy, and other industries: The cooperation between the two parties is also expected to provide solutions such as intelligent customer service, accurate risk prediction, and efficient energy management based on AI Agent technology, driving the intelligent upgrading of thousands of industries.
To accelerate the marketization of cooperation outcomes, SIE and Ai4C will jointly advance project cooperation and collaborative R&D.
- Project cooperation: Combining their AI Agent technology applications, SIE’s industry experience, and implementation capabilities, the two parties will provide one-stop AI Agent solution services for key industry customers, facilitating the rapid implementation of projects.
- Collaborative R&D: The two parties will tackle key technological challenges, participate in the formulation of industry standards, and promote the standardization of AI Agent technology applications.
The Opinions on Further Implementing the "Artificial Intelligence +" Initiative emphasizes that by 2027, China will take the lead in realizing extensive and in-depth integration of AI with 6 key fields, with the penetration rate of applications such as new-generation intelligent terminals and intelligent agents exceeding 70%; by 2035, China will fully enter a new stage of intelligent economy and intelligent society development. Supported by national policies, SIE’s strategic investment in Ai4C represents the enterprise’s practice in promoting the in-depth integration of AI and the real economy. The two parties will focus on AI Agent technology, deepen industry applications, carry out project cooperation and collaborative R&D, and are expected to produce more innovative outcomes in the AI field, inject vitality into the intelligent upgrading of thousands of industries, and help China gain a leading position in the global AI industry competition.
Founded in January 2024, Guangzhou Ai4C (Zhiyong Kaiwu) Artificial Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd. is an innovative enterprise focusing on AI applications and services. Its core team consists of former Microsoft Chief Technology Experts and elites from major internet companies, who have served 135 Fortune Global 500 enterprises and proposed the "loose coupling" methodology for industrial digitalization. Its core product, "Navi"—a new-generation enterprise-level intelligent agent team platform—based on its self-developed AI Agent Foundry technology base, provides intelligent agent team construction and management capabilities through "service + engine + protocol" modules. It has been applied in multiple industries, and has jointly built AI innovation laboratories with Fortune Global 500 enterprises and established ecological alliances with IT companies to facilitate the implementation of B-end AI applications.
