A collaborative seminar between Professor Fu Xiaolan of the University of Oxford, the OxValue.AI team, and the Institute of Technology and Finance of Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) was held on Feb 12 at the School of Economics.

The meeting was coordinated by Professor Ba Shusong, Dean of the Institute of Technology and Finance, Vice President of the China Society of Macroeconomics, and Professor at the Hong Kong University Business School. Attendees included Professor Fu, HUST alumnus enrolled in 1985 and Founder of OxValue.AI, as well as Professor Zhang Jianhua, Dean of the School of Economics.

Zhang introduced the development plan for the Institute of Technology and Finance at HUST, emphasizing its mission to serve as a bridge linking innovative technology enterprises with the capital market.

Ba engaged in discussions on the institute's future development and collaboration, noting that the institute should utilize HUST's disciplinary strengths and alumni resources. By collaborating with OxValue.AI to introduce advanced technologies and theories, the institute could help Hubei province establish a national hub in technology and finance.

Fu highlighted that integrating technology and finance is crucial for transforming technological advancements into productive capabilities. Ye Doudou, Deputy Director of the Global R&D Center at OxValue.AI, gave a detailed presentation on the company's technological achievements and practical experience, noting that its AI-based valuation system overcomes the limitations of traditional valuation methods. By using AI algorithms and proprietary databases, the system enables fast and accurate valuation of patents and technology startups.

Participants concluded that OxValue.AI and HUST will collaborate on industrial research and enterprise valuation analysis to provide data support for policymaking. They will also work together to engage with financial institutions, promoting the application of OxValue.AI's valuation system in technology finance, while tapping into the entrepreneurial resources of HUST alumni to support project development. They also plan to develop localized technology-finance valuation tools to attract high-quality international projects to China.
