On the afternoon of May 13th, the launch ceremony for the "AI+Industrial Finance" Innovation Alliance was held at Baodi Qiyuan. The establishment of this alliance signifies the participating units' determination to break through the current pattern of isolated AI applications, moving towards a new phase of systematic collaboration and comprehensive integration—transforming AI from a "creative force" into a "productive force" that drives business operations, and from a "bystander" into an active "participant" in the field.
The event was attended by Zhang Hulei, Chairman of the Baowu Group's Trade Union. Zhang Hulei and Hu Aimin, General Manager of the Group's Industrial Finance Development Center, jointly unveiled the plaque for the alliance. Trade union chairs and AI experts from various entities within the industrial finance sector, including Huabao Investment, Huabao Trust, Huabao Fund, Huabao Securities, and Baowu Finance Company, as well as from Ouyeel Cloud Commerce and Ouyeel Industrial Products, witnessed this significant moment.
Currently, artificial intelligence is profoundly reshaping industrial ecosystems. Guided by the national "AI+" initiative and the Group's "2526" project, the industrial finance sector is deeply implementing the spirit of the 19th Decision-Maker Training Session of Baowu, driving the development of new quality productive forces through artificial intelligence.
During the work exchange session, representatives of the Innovation Alliance systematically elaborated on the alliance's strategic positioning, implementation pathways, and future vision, outlining a clear blueprint for collaborative innovation. Frontline experts from member units shared insights into the deep integration and cutting-edge exploration of AI technology across the entire industrial finance chain. This included intelligent transformation of trust business operations from front to back office, full-chain application in fund investment research, compliance, and marketing, intelligent upgrades and cultural development in securities services, smart treasury operations in finance, and further extension to supply chain collaboration on industrial internet platforms, as well as intelligent solutions for industrial product procurement and supply chain management. These practical experiences from the business forefront illustrate the alliance's core value—not only in "uniting names" but more importantly in "uniting actions"; not only in "reaching consensus" but in "achieving together," jointly mapping the blueprint for future synergy in smart industrial finance.
Zhang Hulei stated that the establishment of the alliance serves as a crucial lever for the trade union system to support the Group's central mission and stimulate innovation vitality among employees. He expressed three expectations for the alliance: to set the "main direction" by focusing on the primary track of AI application, setting a benchmark in the widespread development and use of AI, and quickly forming a batch of replicable and promotable best practices in "AI+Finance." To concentrate on the "main force" by leveraging the role of employees as the primary force for innovation, fostering an open innovation ecosystem, and making the alliance a fertile ground for cultivating innovative achievements and talent. To stimulate the "driving force" by pooling resources through "co-creation," deepening participation through "co-building," and returning value through "sharing," truly achieving a shift from "being asked to collaborate" to "wanting to collaborate."
Looking ahead, the alliance will proceed with a sense of urgency, innovating in technology research and development, coordinating smart services, and upgrading management models. It aims to advance artificial intelligence from 1.0 applications to 2.0 development, building a more intelligent Baowu industrial finance system capability for the AI era, and seizing strategic initiative and development opportunities in the "AI+" era.
