SenseTime and CP Group Jointly Exploring New Opportunities with Integration of AI and the Real Economy

SenseTime and CP Group, a 104-year-old multinational based in Thailand and the first foreign company to enter China, are exploring strategic cooperation through high-level mutual visits. The two parties conducted in-depth exchanges on the integration of AI technology and the real economy, and discussed potential cooperation in agriculture, animal husbandry & food, commercial real estate, and smart breeding to jointly drive intelligent upgrading of traditional industries. 

Led by Luo Jiashun, Senior Vice Chairman of CP Group, a high-level CP Group delegation visited SenseTime in September, and learned about the company’s achievements in generative AI, visual AI, and computing infrastructure. Shi Jun, President of SenseTime’s Asia-Pacific Business and Group Vice President of Strategic Planning, and other senior executives warmly received the delegation. 

The CP Group team visited SenseTime’s core product exhibition, focusing on learning of computing infrastructure and general AI platforms such as the AI Infrastructure SenseCore and SenseNova Large Model, as well as diverse practical applications including SenseTime’s SenseAuto intelligent automotive platform, SenseCare smart medical diagnosis platform, and SenseRobot AI Chess Robot. This visit allowed the CP team to gain a direct understanding of SenseTime’s technical strength in AI industrialization and industrial AI adoption. 

Soon after CP Group’s visit, Xu Li, Chairman and CEO of SenseTime, led a team to pay a return visit to CP Group. He met with core management members of CP Group, including Luo Jiashun (Senior Vice Chairman of CP Group), Duan Peicai (Senior Vice Chairman of CP Agriculture & Food Enterprises, China Region), Shao Laimin (Senior Vice Chairman of CP Agriculture & Food Enterprises, China Region), and Zhou Jiaxuan (CEO of Commercial Real Estate Innovation Division, China Region). 

During the return visit, the two sides had deeper discussion on multi-dimensional cooperation possibilities, covering technical capabilities, business pain points, implementation scenarios and future plans.

CP Group: Focusing on Cooperation to Address Traditional Industry Pain Points with AI  

According to Luo Jiashun, Senior Vice Chairman of CP Group, as a 104-year-old multinational group and the first foreign company to enter China, CP Group has always been committed to introducing cutting-edge global technology into China’s agriculture, animal husbandry, food, consumer goods, and medical industries, continuously promoting the upgrading and development of these industries and enhancing their international competitiveness.

CP Group is looking forward to in-depth cooperation with SenseTime, leveraging CP’s century-old industrial foundation and industry databases, combined with SenseTime’s leading AI technology, to promote in-depth industrialization, full automation, and AI intelligentization in the agriculture, animal husbandry, and food industries.

Meanwhile, talent is the cornerstone of AI development. CP Group attaches great importance to global talent cultivation and looks forward to strengthening interaction and cooperation with SenseTime in high-end AI talent development. 

Luo Jiashun further introduced CP Group’s participation in the development of Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) and its regional advantages. As an important cooperation platform under the Belt and Road Initiative, this region focuses on cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and new energy, and offers broad cooperation space and development potential. He welcomed SenseTime to participate in the region’s development, and expected that SenseTime would deeply understand the actual scenarios of various businesses of CP Group and jointly design customized AI solutions that meet the needs of industrial development. He emphasized that both parties should base themselves on reality, identify the right entry points, and drive the integration of AI technology into the core fields of industries. 

Duan Peicai, Senior Vice Chairman of CP Agriculture & Food Enterprises (China Region), expressed the hope that SenseTime’s team can conduct an in-depth inspection of CP’s full industrial chain business and jointly deploy the practical application of AI technology in key fields such as automated breeding and food safety production to help improve industrial quality and efficiency. 

Shao Laimin, Senior Vice Chairman of CP Agriculture & Food Enterprises (China Region), pointed out that achieving comprehensive visualization and intelligent management of the breeding process is a key demand for current business development.

Both parties agreed that the application of AI in fields such as food safety traceability, building security upgrading, and green breeding not only has significant commercial value, but also will create broad social benefits. Senior Vice Chairman Luo Jiashun sincerely invited SenseTime’s team to visit CP Group’s headquarters in Thailand and Beijing to further drive implementation of cooperation projects.
