Shengtong Technology | AI enters elderly care, let's set the standards first!

On January 8, 2026, at the Alumni House of Mingxin Building, Wutong Language Learning Center, Wuhan. Soundtech $VOICECOMM (02495.HK)$ officially signed an agreement with Huazhong University of Science and Technology to further cooperate and exchange ideas around 'AI-powered smart elderly care and healthcare'.

This is not a simple donation but the starting point of forming a closed loop for"R&D investment - scenario implementation - industry standards".

The year 2026 will be Soundtech's $VOICECOMM (02495.HK)$ second full fiscal year after its Hong Kong IPO in July 2024 and relocation of its headquarters to Wuhan. From 'relocating our headquarters here' to 'making R&D efforts concrete,' we have been continuously reflecting on one question:How can we effectively combine the company’s R&D capabilities with local university resources?

This collaboration with HUST represents one of our answers:Turning Wuhan’s local university resources into the company’s core R&D strength and transforming industry-academia integration into a visible and sustainable mechanism..Shengtong Technology $VOICECOMM (02495.HK)$ is rapidly fulfilling the strategic vision of establishing its Wuhan headquarters — leveraging Wuhan's rich university resources to build a core R&D center.

01 Closing the loop from the Southwest project to Wuhan R&D

“The more advanced the technology, the more it should be rooted in practical scenarios.” Sun Qi, founder and general manager of Shengtong Technology, said on-site.

Over the past year, we have implemented a benchmark silver economy project in the Southwest region, verifying the feasibility of the business model —This step addresses 'whether it can be used or whether it can function properly'。

On the Wuhan end, what we need to do is‘whether it can scale up, and whether it can form a system’: Deepen and solidify the scenarios, jointly develop capabilities around the cutting-edge direction of ‘AI + elderly care’, and make Wuhan theShengtong Technology‘R&D brain’ for Shengtong Technology in the direction of smart elderly care and healthcare.

The elderly care service industry is at a critical stage of transformation. Key questions the industry must address include how to solve the social issue of 'ensuring care for the elderly,' how to direct funds toward genuine services, and how to attract young people to work in the sector.Shengtong Technologyhas a clear strategy:Beyond existing application scenarios, a dedicated focus on the broader health sector has been established to ensure more concentrated efforts in implementing these scenarios.

Sun Qi summarized the relationship between the two parties as 'complementary':

- Enterprises excel in engineering, productization, and repeated validation in real-world scenarios.

Universities excel in policy understanding, data rigor, and forward-looking research.

What we hope to jointly advance is not just the implementation of a specific project, but the沉淀of a set ofevaluable, reusable, and promotableindustry capabilities. Only in this way can the projects that have been successfully implemented in Southwest China and other regions achieve commercial closed-loop faster and be replicated in more cities.
