In April 2026, Dr. Xie Xiao, Director of the Spatiotemporal Intelligence System Center at the Hong Kong Academy of Technology, traveled to Kazakhstan for in-depth technical exchanges. Through thematic presentations, product launch events, and the workstation inauguration, she showcased new application concepts for spatiotemporal intelligence, empowering Kazakhstan’s water conservancy, agriculture, and emergency management sectors with Chinese technology, laying a substantive foundation for China-Kazakhstan digital Silk Road cooperation.
In April 2026, led by Academician Chen Xi, a delegation of experts including Wang Zhenkai, Chairman of Xuandu Spatiotemporal Cloud Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., and Dr. Xie Xiao, Director of the Spatiotemporal Intelligence System Center at the Hong Kong Academy of Technology, traveled to Kazakhstan for multi-day in-depth technical exchanges and project advancement. This visit not only witnessed the official establishment of the Xuandu Spatiotemporal Cloud Almaty Workstation at the China-Kazakhstan Economic and Trade Development Service Center but also advanced the project initiation of spatiotemporal intelligence and the Sigma System in Kazakhstan’s water conservancy resources, precision agriculture, and other fields — writing a brilliant chapter in the construction of the China-Kazakhstan Digital Silk Road.
I. Deepening Technological Roots: The Sigma System Empowering Kazakhstan’s Core Industries
On April 7, the team visited the National Academy of Sciences of Kazakhstan to deliver a thematic presentation on the Sigma System’s support for Kazakhstan’s water resource management. The presentation, led by Dr. Xie Xiao, provided a detailed demonstration of the Sigma System’s technical advantages and application scenarios in water resource monitoring, scheduling, and management. Anchored on spatiotemporal intelligence and the Sigma System, the team leveraged cutting-edge technology to drive industrial upgrading in Kazakhstan, laying a solid foundation for subsequent project implementation.
On April 8, the Sigma product launch was successfully held in Kazakhstan. Centered on the theme of “Kazakhstan’s Major Spatiotemporal Intelligence Systems Engineering,” the event comprehensively showcased the Sigma System’s implementation blueprint and application value in Kazakhstan. Wang Zhenkai, Chairman of Xuandu Spatiotemporal Cloud, gave exclusive interviews to major Kazakhstani media outlets, systematically articulating the far-reaching significance of spatiotemporal intelligence technology for Kazakhstan’s digital economy and industrial upgrading. This sparked widespread industry attention and further expanded the influence of Xuandu’s technology in the Central Asian market.
During this visit, led by Academician Chen Xi, the delegation successively visited core departments including Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation and the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Around the application of spatiotemporal intelligence and the Sigma System in water resource management, emergency command and dispatch, and precision agriculture, they conducted in-depth exchanges and advanced project initiation, driving technological achievements from the laboratory to the frontlines of industry — truly realizing technology that empowers people’s livelihoods and development.
II. Workstation Establishment: A Digital Pivot Point in Central Asia Officially Sets Sail
On April 9, Wang Zhenkai and Xie Xiao, the Chinese lead representatives of the China-Kazakhstan Science and Technology Transfer Center, visited the China-Kazakhstan Economic and Trade Development Service Center for inspection and research. Liu Jie, the resident Kazakhstan business representative of Xuandu Spatiotemporal Cloud and head of the Economic and Trade Center, along with general managers of relevant business departments, participated throughout the coordination. Both sides jointly witnessed the official establishment of the Xuandu Spatiotemporal Cloud Almaty Workstation, marking that Xuandu Spatiotemporal Cloud’s spatiotemporal intelligence and digital technologies in Kazakhstan have officially entered a new stage of market-oriented, scaled, and normalized advancement.
The workstation integrates exhibition halls, offices, meeting facilities, hotels, dining, and business support services into one comprehensive hub. It has already aggregated a full-chain ecosystem including legal and financial services, visa and registration, cross-border e-commerce, enterprise incubation, overseas study tours, business tourism, financial services, and bulk commodities trading — forming a one-stop overseas service ecosystem that is “rooted overseas, serving China, and empowering manufacturing.” This comprehensively reduces the startup costs and trial-and-error risks for Chinese merchants going global, ensuring that every entrepreneur and pioneer heading to Central Asia can enjoy a secure, efficient, and convenient overseas home base.
As a key overseas pivot point for China’s export of spatiotemporal big data and core artificial intelligence computing capabilities to Central Asia, the launch of the Almaty Workstation marks an important milestone in Xuandu Spatiotemporal Cloud’s deep commitment to serving the “Belt and Road” Digital Silk Road initiative and facilitating China-Kazakhstan digital interconnectivity. Leveraging the Qingyang National Computing Hub in Gansu, Xuandu Spatiotemporal Cloud will use the workstation as a bridge to open a two-way channel for cross-border computing power scheduling, secure data circulation, and collaborative technological innovation between China and Kazakhstan. With autonomous and controllable spatiotemporal intelligence technology, it will support Kazakhstan’s digital sovereignty development and intelligent upgrading across all industries, injecting powerful Chinese technological strength into Central Asia’s digital economy development. In addition, with Xuandu Spatiotemporal Cloud’s settlement, the application for a Guangdong Province local-level overseas comprehensive service station has been simultaneously initiated. Xuandu Spatiotemporal Cloud will take overall charge of the operation and maintenance of the China-Kazakhstan Economic and Trade Development Service Center, building a one-stop comprehensive platform for Chinese enterprises to expand into Central Asia — empowered by technology and safeguarded by services.
III. Future Outlook: Jointly Building a New Digital Silk Road Ecosystem
From China’s computing hubs to Central Asia’s core nodes, from technology export to ecosystem co-construction, Xuandu Spatiotemporal Cloud has always been driven by spatiotemporal intelligence and digital computing power as its core engine. It continues to deeply cultivate markets along the “Belt and Road,” promote cross-border digital infrastructure interconnectivity, and support Chinese technology and Chinese enterprises in making a steady global expansion.
Looking ahead, the Xuandu Spatiotemporal Cloud Almaty Workstation will continue to play its pivotal role. Building on the workstation, it will deepen technical cooperation with Kazakhstan across water conservancy, agriculture, emergency management, energy, and other sectors. At the same time, it sincerely invites ecosystem partners to visit Kazakhstan for business inspections, project matching, and operational implementation — jointly building a new Digital Silk Road ecosystem and opening a new blueprint for Central Asian development.
As a platform enterprise in China’s spatiotemporal intelligence industry chain, Xuandu Spatiotemporal Cloud sincerely invites outstanding enterprises and institutions in the industry to explore cooperation, jointly build the spatiotemporal intelligence industry ecosystem, and collectively pursue a grand development vision!
