The competition attracted over 3,250 registered teams, with the national finals bringing together 113 top innovative teams from China and abroad, with over 350 participants competing on the same stage.
MiningLamp Technology (2718.HK), a Hong Kong-listed company hailed as "the world's first Agentic AI stock," in collaboration with Peking University, presented the project "Intelligent Platform for Brand Globalization Creative Generation and Emotional Connection Based on Multimodal Large Models." The project won the Grand Prize in the national finals and was selected as a "2025 National Artificial Intelligence Application Scenario Exemplary Case."
MiningLamp Technology (2718.HK), founded in 2006, is a pioneer in China's enterprise-level large language models and data intelligence sector. The company was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in November 2025 (stock code: 2718.HK), adhering to the core philosophy of "data-driven trustworthy productivity." It continues to innovate in cutting-edge technologies such as Agentic AI, VLA models, and multimodal large models. Its latest self-developed Mano model has achieved SOTA (state-of-the-art) performance in authoritative international benchmarks such as OSWorld and Mind2Web. In the general large model category, Mano's comprehensive performance ranks second only to Claude-Sonnet-4.5, gaining recognition from both academia and industry.
Wu Minghui, Founder, CEO, and CTO of MiningLamp Technology (2718.HK), introduced that in response to the current global trend of brand "going global," MiningLamp Technology's intelligent platform for brand globalization creative generation and emotional connection based on multimodal large models addresses core challenges faced during brand globalization—cultural differences, content localization, and data-driven decision-making. The platform innovatively integrates four core technological capabilities: "Global Multimodal Content Asset Library + Trustworthy Data Collection Technology + Subjective Emotional Perception Analysis + Video Generation Technology," empowering enterprises to conduct scientific and efficient cross-cultural content creation, emotional assessment, and intelligent decision-making.
1. Global Multimodal Content Asset Library
The platform has built a multimodal content asset library covering major global markets, integrating various media forms such as video, images, and text. This provides a rich material foundation for cross-cultural content creation, helping enterprises quickly generate creative content that aligns with target market cultural characteristics and consumer preferences, significantly reducing content localization costs.
2. Trustworthy Data Collection Technology—"Dexterous Hand" Mano
The platform employs MiningLamp Technology's (2718.HK) self-developed AI dexterous hand model Mano, which can operate in various browser environments, simulating human visual perception to accurately identify any software interface elements, "seeing" and "clicking" like a human. Combined with Mano-Parking web data collection technology, users only need to input a URL and requirement description, and the platform can complete professional-grade data collection. This means enterprises can obtain authentic and effective global multi-source data more quickly, laying a solid foundation for market analysis.
