Chinese tech solutions take center stage at Middle East expo

More Chinese tech enterprises are venturing overseas to showcase their latest breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, cloud computing and big data, in a bid to win more global clients.

At GITEX, the Middle East's flagship ICT (information and communication technology) expo held from Oct 13 to 17 at the Dubai World Trade Center, renowned Chinese intelligent production technology company Inspur Intelligent Production Technology Co Ltd took center stage, unveiling its industry-specific large model and a portfolio of AI-powered production solutions that drew large crowds.

The expo attracted government agencies and enterprises from over 200 countries and regions across the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia, spotlighting the latest breakthroughs in AI, cloud computing and big data.

"Inspur is teaming up with local partners to meet the surging demand for smart-manufacturing upgrades in the Middle East," said Wang Xiaofeng, deputy general manager of Overseas Sales at Shandong Inspur Intelligent Production Technology. "By combining AI, digital twins and industrial internet of things, we are reinventing production models and enterprise forms."

As a leading provider of end-to-end smart-factory technology, Inspur showcased its mature software-hardware bundles that digitize every stage of the shop floor process.

Serving sectors as diverse as machinery, electronics, food and beverage, textiles, petrochemicals, mining, steel and aluminium, the company exhibited its InProd-LM — a self-developed industrial large model delivered as MaaS (Model-as-a-Service) for vertical domains —AI agents for R&D, process optimization and predictive maintenance.

It also showcased a production-intelligence data platform that fuses generative and deterministic AI through a "large + specialized model" architecture, already deployed in printing, equipment, textile and food plants.

Wang noted that in the next step, Inspur aims to deepen its overseas expansion — continuously advancing R&D efforts and accelerating the global adoption of AI on the factory floor to create an intelligent industrial future.
