The construction of the "Belt and Road" has entered its 10th anniversary. As the intersection of the "Belt and Road" sea and land routes, and the cultural differences brought about by geographical advantages, Southeast Asia has become the first choice for many domestic enterprises to go overseas.
Since establishing its internationalization strategy in 2018, iFLYTEK has rapidly deployed overseas business and carried out in-depth cooperation in many countries in Southeast Asia. With the help of international vision, the international station of iFLYTEK Open Platform was launched in 2020, opening a new journey of artificial intelligence globalization goals.
On June 20, iFLYTEK brought the Spark cognitive big model and C-end intelligent hardware to Singapore to successfully hold the product launch conference and iFLYTEK AI TechDay Singapore event. Across mountains and seas, we will join local ecological partners, media and industry customers to rush to the era of big models, and leverage the next frontier of artificial intelligence with ecological power.
Appearance in the Lion City is timely
In the era of large models, technological steps and rapid evolution have brought great opportunities to human society and created immeasurable value. At the same time, it ignites the "dawn" of general artificial intelligence and creates new opportunities to solve the urgent needs of mankind.
As a well-known intelligent voice and artificial intelligence enterprise in the Asia-Pacific region, iFLYTEK has maintained the international cutting-edge technology level in the fields of intelligent speech, computer vision, and machine translation.
"Adhering to the vision of allowing machines to 'listen, speak, understand and think, and build a better world with artificial intelligence', iFLYTEK adheres to the development strategy of 'platform + track' on the one hand, continues to build an artificial intelligence industry ecology, and on the other hand, develops a variety of intelligent hardware to improve people's work and life efficiency." Zhao Xiang, Executive Vice President of iFLYTEK Consumer Business Group, said in his speech.

Fang Xin, Vice President of iFLYTEK AI Research Institute, said at the Singapore event that the Spark cognitive model has been applied in education, office, industry, medical and other fields, bringing new momentum to industrial development. Insight into the future, iFLYTEK Open Platform will continue to lead global developers and jointly build an artificial intelligence "spark" ecosystem.
Parallel software and hardware to lead the next round of industry trends
iFLYTEK Open Platform International Station is committed to providing global developers with artificial intelligence services such as speech recognition, speech synthesis, machine translation, and graphic recognition. "As of June 2023, the total number of developers on the international website of iFLYTEK Open Platform has exceeded 12W+, of which the number of developers in Southeast Asia has reached 4W+." Zhou Chuanfu, vice president of iFLYTEK Cloud Platform Business Group, said.
Under the influence of economy and policy, Southeast Asia has become the first stop and strategic center of iFLYTEK's overseas business. To this end, iFLYTEK has formulated a "1+4" strategy, that is, one international station of iFLYTEK open platform centered on Singapore and four strategic investments - localization investment, technology investment, product innovation investment, and partner program investment. Relying on the international station, it provides voice, machine translation and other capabilities, and constantly upgrades services to provide users with a better experience.
In the field of localization investment, set up a Singapore subsidiary, set up a localization team, cooperate with well-known cloud service providers, and establish local servers in Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. Technology investment has increased, and multilingual technologies have continued to break through the number of languages covered and the quality of use.
At the same time, in terms of product innovation investment, more AI capabilities will be opened, as well as scenarios such as education, media, IoT, and the Internet. For partners, work together to create industry-level solutions and launch partner recruitment plans to achieve strong alliance and mutual benefit and win-win results.
In terms of hardware, relying on the blessing of Xinghuo's cognitive large model, iFLYTEK intelligent voice recorder, iFLYTEK translation machine, iFLYTEK office book, etc. have won the 618 sales champion in multiple categories such as Jingdong and Tmall. For overseas markets, iFLYTEK hardware products are also widely recognized and concerned by customers. At the event, iFLYTEK South Asia General Manager Jin Jin brought innovative artificial intelligence hardware products such as "Smart Translator, Smart Recodor, and Smart Language Pen" to solve various problems in office learning for users.
