To me, this global fundraising initiative is not simply about raising capital. It is about accelerating LongServing Technology into its next stage of development. By bringing in strategic investors and international partners who share our long-term vision, we aim to further expand our R&D capabilities, establish manufacturing capacity, advance our plans for a Wall Street listing and future semiconductor fabrication facilities, and accelerate the commercialization of photonic computing technology, enabling it to become a key foundation of global AI infrastructure.
Longserving Technology operates across cybersecurity, photonic quantum computing, AI, advanced materials, and intellectual property. How do these technologies work together to create a unique competitive advantage?
LongServing Technology’s core competitive advantage lies in the deep integration of cybersecurity, photonic quantum computing, artificial intelligence, advanced materials, and intellectual property, creating a comprehensive cross-disciplinary technology ecosystem. Our self-developed 2nm X-Photon material overcomes the limitations of traditional silicon photonics technology. Combined with all-optical logic computing, photonic memory, and photoelectric conversion architecture, it establishes the core technological foundation for next-generation photonic CPUs. It is expected to overcome the traditional “memory wall” bottleneck of electronic chips and provide a new-generation computing platform with higher efficiency and lower power consumption for large AI models, high-performance computing, and intelligent robotics.
In addition, LongServing Technology accumulated multiple international patents in cloud information security and password lock technologies during its early development (U.S. Patent Nos. US 8060933B2 and US 7930745B2). Combined with our innovative “Strategic Equity Hedging Protocol” model, we transform intellectual property from purely legal protection into a strategic asset for corporate collaboration, strategic alliances, and equity investment, thereby establishing a long-term competitive advantage that integrates technology, intellectual property, and business models.
Photonic quantum chips are expected to transform next-generation computing. What differentiates Longserving Technology’s innovation in this space, and what real-world impact do you expect it to have?
LongServing Technology’s photonic quantum chip breaks through the micron-scale limitations and scattering bottlenecks of traditional silicon photonics. It adopts X-Photon insulating material with an average wavelength of only 2 to 3 nanometers and a ceramic substrate, and realizes 90-degree vertical refraction technology and Photonic Memory. This completely breaks through the “memory wall,” allowing data to be processed and stored directly within the optical spectrum without electro-optical conversion.
In terms of industrial impact, this innovation delivers a computing speed improvement of up to 1,000 times and a 90% reduction in energy consumption, significantly alleviating the power grid and heat dissipation challenges of AI data centers worldwide.
