Hot and humid weather in Hong Kong in June can’t stop the handsome and young Dr. Jia Jiaya, a professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, known as “Prince Jia” by overseas tech professionals. Since receiving the first strategic investment from the Hong Kong government on June 12th, Dr. Jia’s unconventional thinking and years of planning have finally paid off.
Leading the Sime Darby Group, Dr. Jia has expanded the social and commercial applications of AI after upgrading from industrial computing power to AI intelligence.
The logic of consumer habits in the new retail market serves as the starting point for AI intelligence. Because in the global software system customer demand, the shared charging business is the only one that requires almost no customer acquisition cost, and has a huge daily usage, with customers coming from both local and non-local areas, and the majority of customers have consumption capabilities. Despite encountering many objections, Dr. Jia firmly believes that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is a good experimental ground.
The nickname “Prince Jia” comes from the cartoon symbolism of the Lion King. He is a stealthy planner and leader behind the scenes. His Sime Darby Group has not been overshadowed by the aura of AI technology and continues to push forward with the commercialization of AI.
Dr. Jia Jiaya, the founder, is more like the Asian version of Elon Musk in spirit, having eliminated objections and directly instructed the production and design of shared equipment and corresponding software systems two years ago.
Dr. Jia Jiaya has always focused on first principles and is pursuing a technological dream similar to Elon Musk’s, leading the Sime Darby Group to the forefront of technological innovation in Asia, making it one of the leading unicorn companies in the region.
It is expected that the new retail market in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will play a greater role in AI-assisted application areas, in conjunction with the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the flow of tourists.
