Neutech Group Locks in Future Growth with Integrated 'Education-Medical-Care' Strategy Amid China's National Push for Silver Economy in the 15th Five-Year Plan

When policymakers no longer view the elderly population merely as recipients of social security, but rather as significant human capital with potential for “development-oriented consumption” in areas such as culture, tourism, education, and smart health and elder care, a critical industry question emerges for practitioners:Who can truly integrate education, healthcare, and elderly care through an implementable, replicable, and sustainable system to capture the trillion-yuan “silver economy” market?

Neusoft Ruixin Technology Group (hereinafter referred to as “Neusoft Ruixin”) has provided the answer with its solid performance in 2025—

As early as 2024, while the industry was still making isolated forays into either elderly care or healthcare, Neusoft Ruixin had already launched its integrated “Education, Healthcare, and Elderly Care” strategy. In 2025, this strategy was not only fully implemented but also carved out a unique path—pioneered by Neusoft Ruixin—through educational services, healthcare-elderly care empowerment, and technology-driven innovation, thereby proactively securing the future “fruits” of the silver economy market.

China’s population is aging faster than anticipated.

According to the "Statistical Communiqué of the People's Republic of China on the 2025 National Economic and Social Development," the national population at the end of 2025 was approximately 1.405 billion, with those aged 65 and above accounting for 15.9%. According to the WHO definition, China has entered a stage of deep aging society.

To mitigate the crisis facing an aging society, the state is intensively rolling out various policies.

In July 2025, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Civil Affairs issued the “Notice on Implementing the Project of Issuing Consumption Subsidies for Elderly Care Services to Seniors with Moderate or Severe Disabilities.” As of March 2026, a total of RMB 1.72 billion in consumption vouchers had been redeemed nationwide, benefiting 892,000 elderly individuals. With approximately 35 million people in China living with disabilities or partial disabilities, the comprehensive rollout of this policy is poised to unlock a market characterized by substantial rigid demand.

Even more milestone-worthy is “The “15th Five-Year Plan” Outline (Draft) vigorously promotes proactive responses to population aging and facilitates the comprehensive cultivation and expansion of the silver economy.Liu Dechun, Director of the Department of Social Development under the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), outlined specific measures to address population aging while interpreting the Outline Draft of the 15th Five-Year Plan:

This also signals the dawn of an era transitioning from “basic elderly care” to “high-quality senior living.” Southwest Securities points out that the silver economy holds immense potential, with its scale expected to surpass 30 trillion yuan by 2035.

Huge Opportunities Mask a Significant Gap. Based on data from a report by China Research Network, in 2025, China had approximately 30–33 elderly care beds per 1,000 seniors, whereas the internationally accepted standard is 40–50 beds per 1,000 seniors. The “2025 Survey Report on the Professional Status of Elderly Caregivers” predicts that the nationwide shortage of elderly care workers will exceed 5 million over the next five years.

What the industry lacks most is not standalone nursing homes, hospitals, or universities for the elderly, but rather an integrated service system that combines education, medical care, and elderly care. Those who can fill this gap will secure a core competitive advantage in the future silver economy market. Neusoft Ruixin has already made advance preparations.

In 2025, Neusoft Ruixin achieved annual revenue of RMB 2.039 billion and adjusted net profit of approximately RMB 407 million. The company proposed to distribute a final dividend equivalent to 40% of the adjusted net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company, amounting to HKD 28.0 cents per share. Amidst the industry’s expansion phase, Neusoft Ruixin has maintained stable dividend distributions, demonstrating its strong fundamentals in both cash flow and operational quality.

Of greater concern is the growth of elderly care technology and services, as well as medical services.During the earnings conference, Neusoft Ruixin’s management further highlighted that medical and elderly care services are poised to become the company’s second growth curve, playing a significantly important role in its revenue composition. From a financial perspective, elderly care technology and services achieved a breakthrough from zero to one in 2025, generating service revenue of RMB 9.3 million. The medical business transitioned from consolidation into operational status, entering a harvest phase. In 2025, medical service revenue reached RMB 83.3 million, compared with RMB 56.82 million in 2024 (consolidated starting from June 1), representing a year-on-year revenue growth of 46.6%. Behind this revenue expansion lies not merely the additive effect of Neusoft Ruixin’s businesses, but rather synergistic growth achieved through the integration of education, healthcare, and elderly care.

Starting with eldercare technology, Neusoft Ruixin has chosen to tackle the most challenging “hard nut,” which also represents the direction with the highest barriers to entry—Build a city-level smart elderly care platform as the new digital infrastructure for urban elderly care, creating a digital foundation that links “government–institutions–communities–households.”As of December 31, 2025, it had officially expanded into more than 20 cities, basically forming a nationwide layout. The launched "Shenyang Shengqing Health and Elderly Care" platform and "Dalian Smart Health and Elderly Care" platform cover 30 core elderly care scenarios, serve over 50,000 users, gather more than 1,750 high-quality service providers, and offer nearly 8,000 age-friendly products and services.

From the perspective of elderly education, Neusoft RuixinWhat it addresses isHow to Transform “Aging” into “Enjoying Aging”What the elderly population currently lacks is not only care but also spiritual fulfillment and social engagement. Adhering to the LIFECARES educational model—encompassing Joy, Care, Medical Support, Learning, and Contribution—Neusoft Phoenix Academy has established a nationwide network for elderly education, consisting of “3 branch schools + 8 affiliated colleges,” and developed over 400 distinctive online and offline courses. During the reporting period, the number of enrollments by elderly students in offline paid courses at Phoenix Academy exceeded 2,000. Built on this continuously strengthened trust, Neusoft Ruixin’s “elderly care services” have transitioned from being a passive choice among the elderly to an active one made after thorough understanding.

From the perspective of medical services, it has truly created the conditions for the elderly to enjoy their later years.In the healthcare sector, Neusoft Ruixin is building a full-chain proactive health management system that integrates “early screening and treatment of chronic diseases + personalized lifestyle prescriptions + functional medicine interventions.”High-quality service has earned patient recognition: In 2025, Ruikang Cardiovascular Hospital recorded nearly 58,000 outpatient and emergency visits, with over 11,000 inpatient admissions and surgical procedures. Ruikang Stomatological Hospital saw its outpatient visits exceed 23,000 in the same year. In the health and elderly care sector, Ruikang Home is operating at full capacity, achieving an occupancy rate of 93%. Among its residents, 96% are aged 80 or above, primarily requiring semi-dependent care or higher levels of assistance.While continuously establishing itself as a benchmark for health and elderly care, it has also served as a testing ground for Neusoft Ruixin’s technological products, driving the upgrade and iteration of the Ruixin Tong integrated medical-nursing-care SaaS system, thereby creating opportunities for the development of elderly care technology.

Together, they form a small-scale “education, healthcare, and elderly care” ecosystem tailored for the senior population, realizing the goals of ensuring that older adults have access to enjoyment, care, medical services, learning opportunities, and meaningful engagement, thereby driving revenue growth in Neusoft Ruixin’s related businesses.

Behind the entire group lies a comprehensive ecosystem integrating “education, healthcare, and elderly care.”

Why, in entering the silver economy market, does Neusoft Ruixin place “education” at the forefront of its “education–medical–elderly care” model? The answer is simple: whether in medical and elderly care or other sectors, there is no shortage of facilities; what is lacking is talent. Education is precisely the key to addressing this talent gap.

Neusoft Ruixin is addressing not only the challenge of talent development in the medical and elderly care sectors, but more broadly, the issue of cultivating talent for the AI era. During Neusoft Ruixin’s performance briefing, management also noted that demand for new-era AI talent across various industries is poised for explosive growth.Education has always been the inherent advantage of Neusoft Ruixin's diversified business, and it is also the cornerstone and bond for expanding new formats in its ecosystem.

First, in terms of degree education, Neusoft Ruixin has always been industry-oriented and continuously optimized its professional layout of “IT + Digital Media + Healthcare.”The three applied undergraduate universities under its umbrella in Dalian, Chengdu, and Guangdong have integrated AI to deepen disciplinary connotations and advance smart campus development, resulting in a steady improvement in educational quality. Student enrollment continued to grow steadily during the 2025/2026 academic year. As of December 31, 2025, the total number of enrolled students across the three universities exceeded 59,000, representing a 1.6% year-on-year increase from 2024 and reaching a new historical high.

Second, in the realm of educational technology services, it is not only leveraging AI, big data, and the metaverse to transform education from “one-way instruction” to “immersive co-creation,” but also accelerating the export of its solutions to both domestic and international markets, thereby expanding its global footprint.Among these initiatives, the Smart Education Platform 3.0 focuses on the core upgrade direction of “deep AI integration throughout the entire teaching process,” building a controllable and trustworthy AI capability system that covers all scenarios of “teaching, learning, management, training, and evaluation.” The upgraded Neusoft Metaverse Creative Creation and Sharing Platform (OpenNEU) provides more personalized, efficient, and comprehensive learning support and services for school-based instruction. The developed AIoT Home Elderly Care Training Laboratory, based on the future Smart Home 4.0 concept for home-based elderly care scenarios, establishes an integrated cultivation system combining “teaching, practical training, scientific research, and industry-finance integration.” In 2025, Neusoft Ruixin developed 22 courses, 79 projects, and 9 industry-scenario training laboratories targeting 17 majors in IT, digital media, and healthcare and wellness; it collaborated with 52 institutions on major co-construction and industrial college partnerships, covering nearly 15,300 enrolled students.

Even more promising is the global expansion of vocational education: Currently, Neusoft Ruixin has signed a cooperation agreement with the Egyptian Ministry of Education and reached preliminary cooperation intentions with several countries in Central Asia, Central Africa, and other regions.With the formation of solutions encompassing “export of standards, curricula, faculty, and equipment,” it is poised to realize a unique advantage: replicating domestic expertise abroad while leveraging overseas capabilities to benefit the domestic market.

Third, in the area of continuing education, the highlight lies in “Neusoft Training,” which focuses on the health and elderly care sector. By establishing a complete chain encompassing coursework, certification, and employment, it directly supplies professional talent to medical-nursing institutions, thereby fundamentally alleviating the critical shortage of 5 million nursing assistants in the industry.This is also what sets Neusoft Ruixin apart from its competitors: while other industry players treat elderly care as a business, Neusoft Ruixin is striving to build an ecosystem.

As mentioned above, the current elderly care market is generally plagued by the dilemma of separation between medical care and education, as well as disconnection between caregiving and educational services: medical entities lack educational qualifications and the capacity to supply talent, while educational institutions lack medical scenarios and technological support. Neusoft Ruixin, however, is one of the very few platforms capable of integrating “education, medical care, and elderly care.”

Leveraging its end-to-end capabilities, Neusoft Ruixin has emerged as a rare industry benchmark for the integrated model of “education, healthcare, and elderly care.”It has achieved the integration of education-assisted medical care, education-assisted elderly care, medical-to-elderly-care transition, medical-supported education, elderly-care-entrusted medical services, and elderly-care-supported education, thereby establishing a new business ecosystem that is stable, interoperable, mutually supportive, efficient, and sustainable.And this is not something that practitioners can replicate in a short period of time; it is also the moat of Neusoft Ruixin.

Clearly, the 2025 performance marks only the beginning of the full-scale implementation of Neusoft Ruixin’s “Education, Healthcare, and Elderly Care” strategy. At the earnings press conference, management explicitly stated that it would continue to advance the realization of this integrated ecosystem by leveraging technology empowerment, educational innovation, and resource synergy. By integrating talent, technology, application scenarios, and data, the company aims to create replicable and scalable city-level solutions for education, healthcare, and elderly care.

Currently, as actively addressing population aging is further elevated to a national strategy and the silver economy advances toward a scale of RMB 30 trillion by 2035, beneficiaries will be practitioners like Neusoft Ruixin that have made early strategic deployments and established comprehensive ecosystems.

The story of Neusoft Ruixin has clearly only just begun.
