Neutech Group Strengthens康旅 Business Portfolio with Strategic Investment in Xikang Yun舍, Accelerating Integrated 'Education-Medical Care-Elderly Care-Wellness-Tourism' Ecosystem Development

On May 20, 2025, Neutech Group Limited (hereinafter referred to as “Neutech Group” or the “Group”; Stock Code: 9616.HK) announced the acquisition of a partial equity interest in Xikang Yunshe. This move will further strengthen the Group’s integration of resources within its “Healthcare and Tourism” business segment, support the distinctive development of elderly education, and expand practical education platforms for universities and colleges. This acquisition represents a key step in the Group’s efforts to refine its strategic layout encompassing “Education, Healthcare, Elderly Care, Rehabilitation, and Tourism,” fully demonstrating the Group’s strategic commitment to promoting the integrated development of its five major business ecosystems.

Since 2024, Neutech Group Limited has leveraged its extensive resources and rich accumulation in the fields of “education + technology + medical and elderly care” to drive continuous technological R&D, constructing a new blueprint for the integrated development of “education, medical care, elderly care, rehabilitation, and tourism.” In the realm of full-time higher education, capitalizing on Neusoft’s strong industrial heritage and technological resource advantages, the group has established three IT-oriented application-focused undergraduate universities in Dalian, Chengdu, and Foshan, cumulatively cultivating over 170,000 IT application professionals for society. In the area of educational resource output, it empowers more than 700 undergraduate universities and vocational colleges across China with first-class educational products and services. In the field of medical and elderly care, relying on high-end medical and rehabilitation resources such as its affiliated cardiovascular hospital, stomatological hospital, and Ruikang Home Elderly Care Facility, as well as the forthcoming Ruikang Rehabilitation Hospital, the group is actively expanding its medical and elderly care services. In the domains of lifelong education and health technology, closely aligning with the personalized needs of the elderly in learning, social interaction, and health, the group has built the Neusoft Phoenix Academy brand for elderly education and established a distinctive whole-lifecycle elderly health service system. Furthermore, it integrates Neutech Group’s new practices in the integrated development of “education, medical care, elderly care, rehabilitation, and tourism” with Neusoft’s city-level smart elderly care comprehensive service platform, integrating the demands for home-based, community-based, and institutional elderly care to construct a new online-offline integrated smart elderly care ecosystem.

By acquiring a stake in Xikang Yunshe, the Group can leverage its nationwide network of Yunshe Hotels to further deepen cooperation and synergy between Xikang Yunshe Hotels and elderly education services, fostering mutual benefits and win-win outcomes. This initiative integrates health-focused tourism, study tours for seniors, and educational practice, establishing a new comprehensive model for elderly education that combines “learning, traveling, and wellness.” Furthermore, as a joint practical training base for the Group’s three affiliated universities, Xikang Yunshe effectively builds a collaborative innovation platform for industry, academia, and research, thereby promoting the deep integration of the education chain, talent chain, and industrial chain.。

Looking ahead, Neutech Group Limited will deepen the implementation of its integrated strategy encompassing “education, healthcare, elderly care, rehabilitation, and tourism.” With education serving as the core, foundation, and nexus, the Group will simultaneously pursue high-quality development in its edtech business and further refine its healthcare, elderly care, rehabilitation, and tourism service system. This approach aims to establish a virtuous cycle characterized by education-enabled empowerment, medical support, enhanced quality of elderly care and rehabilitation, and added value through health-focused tourism. By pioneering a new paradigm for the integrated development of these five sectors, Neutech will leverage technology to empower the education-healthcare-elderly care ecosystem and use educational innovation to drive digital and intelligent lifestyles, positioning itself as China’s leading pioneer in the integrated ecosystem of education, healthcare, elderly care, rehabilitation, and tourism.
