The World’s First Publicly Traded Agentic AI Company Makes Its Market Debut: Mininglamp Technology Officially Listed on the HKEX Main Board

SHENZHEN, China, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On November 3, 2025, Mininglamp Technology (Stock Code: 2718.HK), a leading provider of enterprise-level data intelligence application and AI application software in China, successfully commenced trading on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX). The debut marks a major milestone, positioning Mininglamp as the world’s first publicly traded Agentic AI company and the first HKEX-listed firm with a fully integrated Agentic AI technology stack.

Mininglamp Technology issued 7,219,000 Class A shares at an offer price of HK$141 each, raising gross proceeds of more than HK$1 billion. Investor demand was exceptionally strong — the Hong Kong public offering was oversubscribed by 4,452.86 times, while the international offering was oversubscribed by 13.93 times. When trading began this morning, shares opened sharply higher at HK$298.80 as of 10:00 a.m., an 111.9% increase over the offer price, bringing the company’s market capitalization to approximately HK$43 billion.

Mininglamp Technology went public under a Weighted Voting Rights (WVR) structure, enabling the company’s management to retain strategic decision-making authority while ensuring operational continuity and encouraging broader institutional and retail investor participation. As of October 2025, there were just over 20 WVR companies listed in Hong Kong, representing less than 8% of the total market capitalization. This scarcity further enhances Mininglamp’s appeal among investors.

 

According to a report by Frost & Sullivan, Mininglamp Technology ranked as China’s largest data intelligence application software provider by total revenue in 2024, and also led the market in both marketing intelligence and operational intelligence solutions. Its extensive industry data resources, combined with core competencies in data intelligence, enterprise knowledge graphs, and data privacy protection technologies have laid the groundwork for its expansion into the enterprise-grade AI foundation model sector. As of June 30, 2025, the company had been granted 2,322 patents, with another 596 applications pending.

In recent years, Mininglamp Technology has achieved a series of milestone innovations in the field of AI. In 2024, its Hypergraph Multimodal Large Language Model (HMLLM) achieved a major breakthrough in simulating human emotional cognition, earning a Best Paper Nomination at ACM Multimedia 2024, one of the world’s top academic conferences in multimedia. In 2025, the company’s proprietary GUI model “Mano” (“AI Dexterous Hand”) achieved state-of-the-art (SOTA) results on two globally recognized benchmarks Mind2Web and OSWorld, through its pioneering integration of online reinforcement learning and intelligent data acquisition frameworks. The model introduced a scalable and evolvable new paradigm for agents operating within graphical user interfaces. Meanwhile, Mininglamp’s lightweight model “Cito” (“AI Expert Brain”), designed for high-efficiency task reasoning and autonomous execution, delivered industry-leading performance across multi-turn dialogue scenarios.

Building on these innovations, Mininglamp Technology launched its enterprise-grade large model product line DeepMiner in September 2025, formalizing its strategic focus on “Building Enterprise-Level Agentic AI.” Anchored by the core principle of “trusted agents built on trusted data,” the company is accelerating its entry into the enterprise AI model market, enabling organizations to achieve reliable, data-driven productivity. Mininglamp also entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) as a Designated Strategic Enterprise Partner. As Chinese companies continue to expand globally, Mininglamp’s international strategy is expected to unlock substantial new growth opportunities.

“The future of artificial intelligence depends on trust. Only AI that earns trust can truly integrate into production and create value for human progress. Trust is built on trustworthy models and data,” stated Mr. Minghui Wu, Founder, Chairman, CEO, and CTO of Mininglamp Technology, at the listing ceremony. “Our mission is to deliver data-driven, trusted productivity by providing companies worldwide with intelligent, traceable, and explainable AI solutions. Hong Kong, as China’s gateway to the world, provides Mininglamp with a global platform for innovation and collaboration. Today’s listing is not a conclusion, but a new beginning. We will continue to increase R&D investment, applying data intelligence technologies to help companies enhance operational efficiency and drive innovation. Together with our global partners, we are committed to building a trusted and intelligent future in the AI era.”

“Collaborating with TELUS empowers us to connect Canadian AI innovators with secure, sovereign compute infrastructure and support scalable growth,” said Cory Brandolini, CEO, Railtown AI Technologies Inc. “By deploying our agentic software solutions in TELUS’ Sovereign AI Factory and integrating them with the Railtown Build and Deploy platform, we’re providing Canadian developers with world-class tools to harness autonomous AI agents for code optimization and system monitoring while maintaining complete sovereignty over their most valuable asset – their intellectual property.”

“Canadian software companies are the backbone of our digital economy and they need AI infrastructure that accelerates their innovation while keeping their competitive advantages at home,” said Hesham Fahmy, Chief Information Officer, TELUS. “Railtown AI’s choice to deploy in our Sovereign AI Factory demonstrates how Canadian companies can access the most advanced AI capabilities while maintaining complete control over their development processes and proprietary code. When Canadian developers create breakthrough AI-powered solutions on Canadian infrastructure, the economic benefits stay here and we can build lasting prosperity for our nation.”

The software development sector represents a key growth area for TELUS’ Sovereign AI Factory, which has emerged as Canada’s answer to maintaining technological independence while accessing cutting-edge AI capabilities.

Leading Asian Beef Noodle Brand Duan Chun Zhen Launches U.S. Expansion and Franchise Opportunities


TAIPEI, TAIWAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 November 2025 – In San Jose, lunch lines form early for a bowl of braised beef noodle soup that locals say “tastes like a warm hug.” At the heart of this experience is Duan Chun Zhen, a brand named after the founder’s beloved grandmother—created to share the comforting taste of home with the world.

Duan Chun Zhen’s signature Braised Beef Noodle Soup, featuring a rich broth simmered with over 23 herbs and spices.
Duan Chun Zhen’s signature Braised Beef Noodle Soup, featuring a rich broth simmered with over 23 herbs and spices.

Founded in Hsinchu, Taiwan, the brand draws from the founder’s deep-rooted memories of family meals and his grandmother’s cooking. Operated under KINGZA International Co., Ltd., Duan Chun Zhen has grown from a single local eatery into a celebrated culinary brand that represents both heritage and innovation. Today, Duan Chun Zhen is recognized across Asia as a leading international brand, with locations spanning multiple countries and a growing global following.

“Every bowl we serve carries the spirit of home,” says the brand’s U.S. marketing director. “The name Duan Chun Zhen represents purity, sincerity, and a commitment to authenticity—that’s what we want our customers to taste.”

The signature broth is anything but rushed. It simmers for hours with over 23 spices and herbs, blending Sichuan-inspired boldness with the mellow sweetness of Taiwanese flavors. The beef is slow-braised for tenderness, the noodles are firm yet chewy, and the aroma alone draws passersby inside.

“The flavors hit just right. It tastes nostalgic, even if you didn’t grow up with it,” one diner shared. Duan Chun Zhen offers a dining experience rooted in warmth, flavor, and care. In addition to its renowned beef noodle soup, the menu features xiao long bao, crispy popcorn chicken, herbal drinks, and cold appetizers—offering a rich journey through East Asian comfort cuisine.

The U.S. food and beverage market has seen a sharp rise in interest in regional Asian cuisine. According to Yelp’s 2024 Food Trends Report, mentions of Taiwanese food rose by 38% year-over-year, with dishes like beef noodle soup and braised pork rice becoming staples on mainstream menus across North America.

With this growing demand for authentic culinary experiences, Duan Chun Zhen is actively expanding its franchise network in North America. The brand currently operates locations in Cupertino, Fremont, and San Jose, California, bringing the taste of Taiwan to communities with a growing appetite for regional Asian cuisine. The upcoming Milpitas store, nestled within the vibrant Great Mall, will mark Duan Chun Zhen’s fourth Bay Area location, another milestone in the brand’s swift U.S. expansion.

Whether you’re a seasoned restaurateur or an entrepreneur passionate about food, the brand offers a proven business model, robust operational support, and a story that resonates with global consumers. Franchise opportunities are now open in select U.S. cities, welcoming new partners to bring this legacy brand to their local communities.

The next chapter is already unfolding. A new store in Northern California is scheduled to open in the coming months, further strengthening Duan Chun Zhen’s commitment to global growth.
