QINGDAO, China, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hisense, a leading brand in global consumer electronics and home appliances, has unveiled a comprehensive AI-powered growth strategy that will guide the company's next phase of global development, reinforcing its commitment to innovation, intelligent living and long-term customer value.
This strategy was introduced during the Hisense Global Partner Conference 2026, held in New York ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026TM Final, where Hisense brought together global customers and partners to share its vision for the AI era.
"AI is reshaping everything. And we are all a part of this," said Mr. Fisher Yu, CEO of Hisense Group. "In the AI era, we must embrace this unstoppable wave. We are upgrading our strategy with five pillars: expanding our AI footprint across the core AI value chain; transforming smart devices into smart home companions through AI-driven scenario innovation; maintaining a long-term sports marketing strategy to strengthen our global brand; adhering to a service-first approach to enhance user experience; and deepening glocalization to create long-term value for our customers and partners."
At the center of Hisense's strategy is a long-term commitment to AI. The company is building an integrated AI ecosystem spanning the entire value chain. "When we map Hisense onto this architecture, our vision is clear: we are rebuilding our entire business around AI," Mr. Yu said. Hisense is advancing growth across AI Hub, semiconductors, smart energy, laser technology and automotive electronics, while continuing to strengthen its core smart device business.
For consumers, this means a new generation of products evolving from smart devices into smart home companions — devices that can proactively perceive their surroundings, understand user preferences, communicate naturally and take action on their behalf. "A device just takes orders. But a companion does so much more. It understands you, anticipates your needs, and brings real warmth to your home. And this is the future of our industry," Mr. Yu said.
This vision is already becoming reality across the Hisense ecosystem. Powered by V AI OS, Hisense TVs can think through users' preferences and intent and deliver highly personalized content recommendations at the right moment. Beyond entertainment, ConnectLife enables connected appliances to act intelligently across cooking, laundry, air management and energy optimization—unifying these four AI companion capabilities into a smarter, more intuitive home.
Hisense will also continue strengthening its global brand through long-term sports partnerships, using the universal language of sport to connect with consumers worldwide. "This is great because to see our partners moving along and suggesting new technology like the cutting-edge LED, and supporting us with VAR operations at every level," said Mr. Romy Gai, Chief Business Officer of FIFA.
"Harvey Norman values its partnership with Hisense because of the company's continued global investment in cutting-edge technology, innovation and brand building," said Mr. Haydon Myers, Executive General Manager Electrical, Harvey Norman Australia. "Hisense's commitment to global premiumization is demonstrated through its partnership across three consecutive FIFA World Cups. That long-term commitment continues to strengthen the brand and creates lasting value for consumers, retail partners and the industry alike."
Hisense's long-term investment in global sports partnerships has gone hand in hand with its international growth. As AI reshapes industries worldwide, Hisense will continue combining technological innovation, global partnerships and customer-centric innovation to shape the next era of intelligent living.

Hisense Unveils AI-Powered Growth Strategy to Shape the Next Era of Intelligent Living
SILICON VALLEY, Calif., July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Meshy, a company building foundation models for AI-powered 3D generation, today announced it has raised nearly $400 million in a Series B round at a $1.5 billion valuation. It is the largest funding round to date for a company built specifically for AI 3D. The round was backed by a group of leading global investors, with participation from all existing investors. It is also Meshy's first publicly disclosed valuation.
Meshy has made 3D creation dramatically simpler. From a single line of text or one image, users can generate a usable 3D model in about a minute. Work that once took specialized skills, expensive software, and weeks now takes about a minute and a dollar. As of July 2026, the company's annual recurring revenue is growing about 12x year over year, with more than 12 million registered users and over 100 million models created. In a field where most companies have yet to reach meaningful revenue, Meshy has built its lead on real commercial performance.
On the technology side, Meshy has advanced AI-generated 3D from "looking right on screen" to "ready for real production." Its models are usable directly in games and, increasingly, printable as physical objects - the company's core differentiator. Meshy is introducing several product updates:
- Meshy 3D Agent: The world's first AI agent for 3D creation. Meshy 3D Agent turns a conversation, a line of text, a photo, or a sketch into a print-ready 3D model in formats including FBX, OBJ, GLB, and STL, with no prior 3D experience required. It brainstorms ideas, generates concepts in batches, turns a chosen concept into a 3D model in a single step, and answers 3D questions through built-in Q&A. For 3D printing, it achieves a slicer success rate of up to 97%; for game development, it exports models compatible with Unity, Unreal, and Blender. Meshy 3D Agent is now available to all registered users.
- Auto Split: One-click part-splitting for 3D printing. The hardest step in 3D printing is often breaking a model into parts that can be printed and reassembled. After a model is generated, Auto Split performs this step in a single click, automatically repairing surfaces and arranging parts on the print bed. Each part is a closed, watertight solid; seams are placed along concealed boundaries to preserve the model's appearance; the parts reassemble precisely into the original; and the layout is print-ready for immediate download. Auto Split produces the most reliable, genuinely assemblable parts in the category—verified on physical 3D printers—whereas output from other tools is typically color-segmented for on-screen display and falls apart in the real world. Auto Split is now available to all registered users.
- Smart Topology: Meshy's latest in-house model. Smart Topology generates a 3D model with native, cleanly structured geometry in about 10 seconds, with a controllable polygon count from 100 to 15,000. Compared with the previous generation, it delivers clear gains in generation speed, polygon control, and topology, making it well suited to game development, interactive web, and other real-time rendering projects. Smart Topology is now available to all registered users.
- 8K Texture: High-resolution texture generation. Meshy can now generate 8K-resolution textures with clean color reproduction and rich surface detail. Meshy's 8K Texture is rolling out soon.
Meshy's reach already extends to the very top of the global economy: five of the world's ten largest technology companies by market capitalization or valuation have teams building with Meshy. Meshy is also widely used across gaming, 3D printing, design, and the cultural sector. Its customers and partners include leading game companies such as Nexon, NetEase Games, and 37 Interactive Entertainment; top 3D printing brands including Bambu Lab, Creality, Elegoo, FlashForge, and xTool; and globally recognized names such as Hugo Boss and Sweden's museum of art and design.
That performance did not come from technology alone. Like many companies opening a new category, Meshy initially had to find the market its technology fit. As its models generalized and its understanding of users deepened, the company opened new use cases and revenue streams, turning a research lead into a durable commercial one.
Proceeds from the round will be used primarily for R&D and global market expansion.
Over the longer term, Meshy aims to lower the barrier to creation. The desire to create is innate to everyone: from the earliest paintings on cave walls to a video shot on a phone today, that impulse has never changed, only the difficulty of acting on it. Turning imagination into something real once demanded rare skill, costly tools, and significant time, and each advance in technology has made it easier.
Meshy is dedicated to unleashing that instinct in everyone, driving the gap between imagination and reality ever closer to zero. Today, anyone can generate a single 3D object on Meshy. In time, what people create will be an experience they can be immersed in, genuinely feel, and remember afterward. 3D is the starting point, and the domain in which Meshy has already proven its technology and built a real business. Extending that path further is the company's objective.
About Meshy
Founded by MIT PhD Ethan Hu, Meshy is on a mission to make 3D creation accessible to everyone, serving more than 12 million registered users worldwide. Learn more at meshy.ai.
