11月28日上午，在2021亚洲青年领袖论坛“粤港澳大湾区合作发展”主题论坛中，澳门普强科技CEO何国涛发表了题为《普强科技聚焦人工智能及大数据的核心研发》的主旨演讲。

全文如下：

各位领导，主持人：

我是澳门普强的CEO何国涛。特别感谢主办机构让我有机会分享一下普强在人工智能、大数据方面的建设和经验。

普强是一个创立在美国硅谷，立足在澳门横琴的人工智能科技公司，投资人包括世界最大的EDA公司的创始人、航天科技的四维图新、上海物联网基金、格力金控、大横琴基金、礼达基金及崔世平先生。普强主要为金融、汽车领域和政府部门提供核心的人工智能和大数据技术。

普强聚焦于智能语音生态的核心技术和产品的研发，核心技术是自主研发的基于神经网络的语音识别、语义理解和TTS，利用自主研发的核心技术为金融机构的客服中心、政府的服务中心和大型车厂的智能化建设提供核心技术。

普强在中美两岸三地都有相应的研发和技术支持团队，在金融、汽车、政府行业已经有几百个成功案例，客户包括中国银行、招商银行、招商信诺、香港的汇丰银行、澳门的永利、台湾的东森购物、台湾人寿、日本的丰田、美国的Fortemedia。普强现在的重点在粤港澳大湾区。车载系统案例方面，普强通过提供语音交互，让驾驶员通过语音来控制汽车，客户包括北汽、奇瑞、长安。从现在开始，所有的雷克萨斯都会用普强的语音交互技术。普强现在已经拥有和正在申请的专利以及软著已经超百个。

粤港澳大湾区一共有11个城市，包括澳门和香港两个特别行政区，GDP总量超过10万亿，增速超过硅谷（硅谷大概是7.9万亿），有2万多家国家级高科技产业、36家国家重点实验室、16家世界500强的企业，市场非常巨大，而且本地的科研能力储备非常丰富，发展前景无限，特别在科创领域。

大湾区的建设重点之一就是横琴粤澳深度合作区，其中一个主要目标就是协助澳门经济适度多元化，帮助澳门人融入大湾区和国家发展大局，是粤港澳大湾区建设的一个重地。深合区主要有四个产业：科研、现代金融、文旅和中医药产业。科研方面，普强的人工智能大数据的技术是科研的一个重要模块。普强有上百个智慧金融的成功案例，可以协助现代金融业的进一步发展，普强的核心技术和经验也可以帮助文旅和中医药产业做自动化的发展。希望可以把普强的核心技术，特别是基于神经网络语音相关的应用技术带到大湾区来。普强已经有好几十个项目在大湾区落地，还有正在谈的项目，主要是智慧金融和智慧城市的建设以及酒店和车企的智能化改造等。

最后，希望普强能把这十多年深耕人工智能的成果，包括几百个核心技术、数十个投资机构、近百家全球各地的人工智能上下游合作伙伴和澳门的科研成果带来大湾区，协助澳门人融入大湾区，希望为大湾区的科技作一点贡献。

谢谢！


On 28 November, Elwin Ho, CEO of Pachira Information Technology, delivered a keynote speech titled “Pachira Dedicated to R&D in AI and Big Data" at the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Cooperation and Development Forum of the Asia Youth Leaders Forum 2021.

Dear dignitaries,
Dear moderator,
I am Elwin Ho, CEO of Pachira. First of all, I'd like to offer special thanks to the organizers for allowing me this opportunity to share our experiences in AI and Big Data.

Pachira is an AI company founded in the Silicon Valley and based in Hengqin. Our investors include the founder of the world's biggest EDA company, NavInfo in the aerospace science and technology industry, Shanghai Internet-of-things Fund, Gree Financial Holdings, Da Heng Qin Fund, Leader Fund, and Mr. Chui Sai Peng. Pachira primarily provides core AI and Big Data technologies to finance, automobiles, and government departments.

Pachira focuses on the R&D of core technologies and products in intelligent speech. Our core technologies are our proprietary neural-network-based voice recognition, semantic comprehension, and TTS, and we use these technologies to empower financial institutions' customer service centers, government service centers, and the intelligent transformation of large automobile factories.

Pachira boasts research, development, and support teams in the US and China, including mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao. We have several hundred success stories in the finance, automobile, and governmental sectors, with clients such as the Bank of China, China Merchant Bank, Cigna & CMB, HSBC (Hong Kong, China), Wynn (Macao, China), ETMall (Taiwan, China), Taiwan Life, Toyota (Japan), Fortemedia (US). Pachira is currently focusing its main efforts on the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Regarding vehicle-mounted systems, Pachira uses voice interaction to help drivers control their vehicles with their voice. Our clients include Beijing Automotive Group, Chery, and Chang'an. On top of this, starting as of now, all Lexus vehicles will use our voice interaction technology. 

There are 11 cities in the Greater Bay Area, including the two special administrative regions of Macao and Hong Kong. The area has a GDP of over 10 trillion, with a growth rate exceeding Silicon Valley, which stands around 7.9%. There are over 200,000 national-level high-tech companies, 36 national key laboratories, and 16 Fortune 500 companies. I personally believe that this is a huge market, with incredibly rich reserves for scientific research and unlimited potential for development, especially in the field of technological innovation.

One of the highlights of the Greater Bay Area is the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin, and one of the main objective of this zone is to assist Macao in appropriately diversifying its economy as well as helping Macao integrate into the development of the Greater Bay Area and the whole country. It is a focus of the development of the Greater Bay Area. The In-depth Cooperation Zone will focus on four main industries: R&D, modern finance, cultural tourism, and traditional Chinese medicine. In terms of R&D, Pachira's AI and big-data technologies are an important module in the R&D blueprint. Pachira boasts over 100 success stories in intelligent finance, which can also assist the modern finance industry in furthering its development. Our core technologies and experience can also help cultural tourism and the TCM industry in terms of automated development. I hope that we can apply Pachira's core technologies, especially its neural-network-based voice technologies, in the Greater Bay Area. We already have dozens of projects in the Greater Bay Area. We are also in discussion for some potential projects. These projects primarily focus on intelligent finance, smart city, and intelligent transformation of hotels and automobile enterprises.

Finally, I hope that Pachira can bring its achievements from decade-long research in AI – including hundreds of core technologies, dozens of investment organizations, about 100 partners in AI across the world, and Macao’s R&D achievements – into the Greater Bay Area. In so doing, I hope that we can help Macao people assimilate in the Greater Bay Area and contribute to the technology sector here. 
Thank you!
