Hyperforge Takes Center Stage at 2026 Sodium-Ion Battery Ecosystem Conference: CIO Dr. Allen Shares Insights from Singapore
On March 31, 2026, the "Sodium-Ion Battery Ecosystem Conference," jointly hosted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, HiNa Battery Technology Co., Ltd., and the Wuhan Municipal People's Government, was held in Wuhan. Hyperforge was invited to participate in this industry event. Dr. Allen, Chief Information Officer of Hyperforge, attended the conference and discussions with industry peers.
During the roundtable forum, Dr. Allen shared Hyperforge’s strategic vision at the forefront of new materials and AI-driven manufacturing, with a sharp focus on sodium-ion battery innovation. More importantly, he reaffirmed Hyperforge’s commitment to the Chinese market, outlining our unique perspective and strategic layout in new energy and advanced materials. Dr. Allen further expressed Hyperforge’s proactive ambition to deeply engage with China’s industrial ecosystem—investing in critical technologies to bridge the gap between frontier research and commercial scalability.
As part of the visit, the Hyperforge team also met with faculty from relevant departments at Wuhan University. The two sides held in-depth discussions on mechanisms for industry-academia-research collaboration, cultivating high-end interdisciplinary tech talent, and co-building international advanced research platforms.
This Wuhan visit not only highlights Hyperforge’s forward-looking vision in cross-domain integration of “AI + industry,” but also strengthens connections with top Chinese academic institutions and industry partners. Moving forward, Hyperforge will continue to serve as a “builder of autonomous industrial systems,” working hand-in-hand with partners worldwide to drive the global manufacturing sector toward an intelligent, sustainable future.
Hyperforge Featured as an AI Benchmark Case at the Launch of the New Edition of “AI Changes the World”
On April 25, the "New Era of Intelligent Computing Economy – Launch Ceremony for the New Edition of AI Changes the World," co-organized by Xinhua News Agency, the University of Hong Kong,DataCanvas, and Keynovation Capital, was held at the HKU Shenzhen Centre.

AI Changes the World is a bestselling AI book in mainland China, published under the Xinhua News Agency and part of the “New Quality Productivity” series. Its digital edition has been simultaneously released on major e-reading platforms across the country. The book has been selected for the Guangming Daily November 2024 “Guangming Book List” and the China Press and Publishing Broadcasting Gazette’s 2024 Annual Excellent Bestseller List. It was also shortlisted for the 2025 Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Excellent Popular Science Book List. In April 2025, the book was recommended by Wang Zhonglin, Secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee, to all cadres and citizens of the province.
Hyperforge, as an outstanding enterprise case of AI empowering manufacturing upgrades, has been officially included in the new edition of AI Changes the World: New Developments in Artificial Intelligence and the Intelligent Computing Economy. The book highlights Hyperforge's innovative practices in AI education, international study tours, unmanned factories, and advanced materials integration, with particular emphasis on its unique model of combining cutting-edge research outcomes from A*Star with industrial implementation — a model regarded as a typical example of "research institution + industrial implementation" driving the intelligent transformation of manufacturing.
During the roundtable forum of the event, Dr. Allen, CIO of Hyperforge, was invited to speak as a panelist. Dr. Allen shared the stage with Professor Zhang Wei from the University of Hong Kong, Professor Liang Xiaojiao from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Ms. Li Hong, founder of Huaxia Xin Wisdom, and other industry experts. He presented Hyperforge's cutting-edge practices of "AI + advanced materials" driving unmanned factories. Dr. Allen noted that AI is fundamentally restructuring the production logic of manufacturing, and Hyperforge's practice has proven that unmanned operations are not simply about replacing human labor, but about reshaping an entirely new industrial landscape through the synergy of intelligence and materials.
Of particular note, distinguished advisors and scientists from A*STAR in Singapore participated in the event as delegates of Hyperforge's ecosystem partners, where they held substantive discussions with the author team, investment professionals, and industry leaders.
This event was not only the launch of the new edition of AI Changes the World, but also a showcase of Hyperforge's achievements in the fields of AI and the intelligent computing economy.
