Strategic MOU with Huazhi Future
To support the growth of its AI Data Quant Tech business, the Company signed a strategic MOU with Huazhi Future. A subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed Maase Inc., Huazhi Future focuses on intelligent computing infrastructure and industrial AI applications. Its operations span intelligent computing infrastructure, computing power scheduling and operations, and vertical AI applications and industry services, with established presence in the ASEAN region.
Under the strategic MOU, Luda Technology and Huazhi Future intend to explore opportunities across the following three areas:
1. Overseas Computing Power Export
The Company aims to connect Huazhi Future with overseas channel resource, supporting the expansion of Huazhi Future’s computing power business in ASEAN markets through compliant channels. Huazhi Future will provide the related technical support and operational services. The parties will also explore opportunities to build or operate intelligent computing centers and edge computing nodes in the ASEAN region. To support these efforts, both parties will share market information, customer resources, and policy updates.
2. Liquid Cooling Technology
The parties intend to establish a Liquid Cooling Technology Joint Laboratory and jointly sponsor a Liquid Cooling Technology Research Institute (or a similar research body). Research will focus on liquid cooling systems for containerized data centers, high-efficiency heat-dissipation materials, and intelligent temperature-control algorithms. Huazhi Future will provide application scenarios, testing environments, and market feedback, while Luda Technology will contribute its precision manufacturing capabilities, including its stainless steel and carbon steel flanges and fittings that can be used in liquid cooling piping and fluid-transfer systems. Both parties will also explore the development of standardized, modular, and commercial liquid cooling products for domestic and international markets.
3. Financial Cooperation
The parties intend to explore potential ventures on financing for jointly invested or jointly operated projects, leveraging their respective public company platforms and capital markets access. Both parties plan to share information on investment and M&A opportunities in AI, computing infrastructure, green technology, and high-end manufacturing. They may explore establishing joint investment platforms, subject to each party’s regulatory requirements and commercial interests.
To coordinate these initiatives, the strategic MOU provides for regular senior executive meetings, designated liaison personnel, and dedicated project working groups. Each party will prepare a project plan for each cooperation area within 30 days of signing. The strategic MOU is a framework document setting out the parties’ intentions. Apart from its confidentiality provisions and the provision on the MOU’s own nature and effect, it does not create legally binding obligations. Any specific project will need separate definitive agreements. This strategic MOU has an initial term of two years. It renews automatically for one-year periods unless either party objects in writing.
Management Commentary
Mr. Ma Biu, CEO of Luda Technology, said: “Execution of the AI Data Quant Tech acquisition and signing a strategic MOU with Huazhi Future mark two important steps in moving our data center strategy from planning into execution. Hong Kong is a ‘super connector’ between Mainland China’s cost-efficient AI ecosystem and international markets. Huazhi Future brings intelligent computing expertise and a presence in ASEAN. Luda Technology brings more than 20 years of precision metal manufacturing experience, which directly applies to liquid cooling piping and fluid-transfer systems, together with supply chain management and a global agency network. AI Data Quant Tech adds expertise in data center infrastructure operations and management. By combining these strengths, we see a clear path to provide affordable, high-performance AI computing infrastructure and advanced cooling solutions to the world, while we continue to drive innovation in our core steel manufacturing business. These initiatives support Luda Technology’s broader strategy of sustainable growth, diversification and innovation.”
