On January 23, TCL Industry, GTRONTEC and Hongtai Group officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement in Wuhan, Hubei. The parties will deepen collaboration in areas such as enhancing digital-carbon integration capabilities, expanding low-carbon industrial clusters, expanding energy-carbon ecosystem applications, and innovating green finance, accelerating the integration of artificial intelligence with green and low-carbon industries, and injecting new momentum into the high-quality development of Hubei's manufacturing sector.

At the event, Du Juan, CEO of TCL Industry, and Zhang Shimin, Deputy Party Secretary and General Manager of Hongtai Group, signed the agreement on behalf of the parties. Important guests including He Jun, Vice President of TCL Industry and CEO of GTRONTEC, attended the meeting and held discussions. This cooperation is a significant arrangement made under the backdrop of the national "AI+" action and the "15th Five-Year Plan" strategies focusing on intelligentization, greening, and integration. It is also a practical move that leverages the complementary advantages and collaborative development of state-owned enterprises, industry leaders, and industrial AI companies.

Hubei Provincial Party Committee and Government have long prioritized green and low-carbon development alongside artificial intelligence as key directions. As the only financial service enterprise owned by Hubei Province, Hongtai Group focuses on integrated financial services, factor market construction, and policy financial support, establishing a full-license financial holding framework covering banking, securities, insurance, leasing, and other diverse sectors. It holds shares in multiple financial institutions, with continuously growing asset scale and enhanced capacity to serve the real economy. In the green and low-carbon field, it operates both national and Hubei regional carbon markets, innovatively building a carbon ecosystem service system characterized by "one platform, two markets, three functions," and forming significant advantages in carbon market operation, carbon finance innovation, and industrial cultivation. Through its subsidiary Zhongtan Asset Management Company, it actively builds a national carbon service benchmark and carbon asset operation platform, striving to improve intelligent carbon data processing and asset operation capabilities. Among them, China Carbon Emissions Registration and Settlement (Wuhan) Co., Ltd. ("Zhongtandeng") has accumulated nearly 60 billion CNY in carbon quota trading volume, with a settlement scale of nearly 120 billion CNY, serving over 3,761 key emission enterprises nationwide, ranking first globally in business volume.

TCL Industry focuses on smart terminal products and services, dedicated to providing global users with forward-looking technology experiences and all-scenario smart and healthy living, while actively responding to the national "dual carbon" strategy. Its subsidiary GTRONTEC, as a leading industrial AI company incubated under TCL's strategy, has long been deeply engaged in the semiconductor and advanced manufacturing sectors, possessing mature technological systems and large-scale delivery experience in industrial IoT, AI algorithms, energy-carbon forecasting, and intelligent regulation. The two parties have previously conducted half-year in-depth engagements, reaching high consensus on technical paths, application scenarios, and business models.

Leveraging TCL's global industrial layout in smart terminals, semiconductor display, and new energy photovoltaics, this cooperation will use industrial AI as the core driver to promote real-time sensing, accurate prediction, and dynamic optimization of energy consumption and carbon emissions, accelerating the deep integration of "technology + data + scenarios." The results will be prioritized for implementation in key industrial parks and major emission enterprises, exploring replicable and scalable low-carbon solutions, and further extending to green finance and carbon asset management, unleashing the synergistic value of data elements and carbon assets.

This signing marks the systematic extension of industrial AI from manufacturing scenarios to the energy-carbon field. The parties will take Hubei as a key practice base, continuously advancing the deep integration of artificial intelligence with green and low-carbon industries, providing sustainable and implementable innovative pathways for building a modern industrial system and achieving the "dual carbon" goals.
