Neusoft Enters the Era of Software Empowerment: Creating New Ecosystems with Software

Today, the 21st Neusoft Solutions Forum, themed “Empowering the New Economy, Creating New Value,” opened in Chengdu. At the opening forum, Dr. Liu Jiren, Chairman and CEO of Neusoft Group, stated that the software industry has evolved from its initial focus on technology, products, solutions, and services to transcending technology itself, becoming the foundation and enabler of social systems in the digital age. Software has entered an era of empowerment. Dr. Liu pointed out that Neusoft continuously extends its own vitality through software, leveraging it to create new value, new ecosystems, and new entities.

In recent years, with the deep integration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and blockchain, the definition of software has become richer and more human-centric. It has permeated various industries and people’s daily lives, continuously transforming and creating new business models and lifestyles.

In his keynote address titled “The Era of Software Empowerment,” Liu Jiren discussed the role of software in driving economic and social development. He stated that in today’s era, information infrastructure is becoming increasingly comprehensive and developing at an accelerating pace, the number of digital citizens is growing, information technology has permeated every industry, and the boundaries between technology and applications are rapidly disappearing. Software today is no longer merely a standalone product or technology; it transcends technology itself, serving as an empowering tool that is ubiquitous and ever-present, radiating remarkable charm and value. Software is shaping resources and time, while also building platforms and ecosystems for digital commerce. Software represents connectivity; it is the new economy, the new way of life, and the new entity.

Liu Jiren emphasized that, as a traditional software enterprise, Neusoft must proactively embrace the current era by transforming from a purely technology-driven company into one that creates value through software. It should adopt more agile and innovative approaches, remain customer-centric, and leverage software to help individuals, enterprises, and various industries navigate the upgrades brought by the Internet of Everything (IoE) era. This year, Neusoft officially launched its new brand slogan, “The Magic of Software,” redefining its new role in the “software-enabled era” and highlighting the characteristics and value of software in this new age.

In key sectors vital to national welfare and people's livelihoods, such as smart cities, comprehensive healthcare, and the automotive industry, Neusoft is creating software value and industrial ecosystems for a new era through innovation in software technology, construction of new business models, and integration of internal and external resources. By developing more new technologies, products, models, and applications, Neusoft ensures that software truly serves society and integrates into everyday life. For urban development, Neusoft empowers cities with software to make society smarter. Through its Smart City Operations and Management Platform, Neusoft helps cities organize and analyze data, build novel applications, and fully participate in digital urban operations, successfully transforming from a smart city solution provider into a smart city operator. In the healthcare sector, Neusoft has successfully built a healthcare ecosystem covering sub-sectors including health commissions, hospitals, basic medical insurance, commercial insurance, civil affairs, poverty alleviation, employment, and elderly care. Leveraging technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, Neusoft drives the integration and innovation of business models. Meanwhile, Neusoft continues to create new business entities through software, forming multiple innovative companies such as Neusoft Medical Systems, Neusoft Xikang, Neusoft Wanghai, Neusoft Reach, Neusoft Hanfeng, and Rongsheng Property & Casualty Insurance. These efforts continuously expand into new business areas and inject fresh growth momentum.

Furthermore, Neusoft continues to empower equipment with software, making large-scale machines such as medical devices and automobiles smarter. In the field of medical equipment, Neusoft Medical Systems, a subsidiary of Neusoft, has pursued continuous innovation and creation, launching successive new products including China’s first domestically produced 128-slice CT scanner, the NeuSight PET/CT, the 256-slice wide-bore spectral CT, and the world’s first suspended seven-axis intelligent angiography system—the NeuAngio 30C DSA—thereby continually raising the highest standards in China’s large-scale medical equipment sector. In the automotive sector, Neusoft integrates technologies such as the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) and artificial intelligence into the automotive industry, rolling out multiple new products in segments including in-vehicle infotainment systems, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), autonomous driving, and new energy vehicles, thereby promoting the development of the automotive industry toward greater safety, connectivity, intelligence, and energy efficiency.

As China designates blockchain as a strategic technology, Neusoft has proactively established its presence in this field. By adopting an application-scenario-driven technical approach, Neusoft has achieved breakthroughs in key blockchain technologies, including multi-institution consensus mechanisms, cryptographic algorithms, data storage and usage security, blockchain performance, and smart contracts. The company is actively promoting the practical implementation of blockchain technology, which has been successfully deployed and adopted across multiple industries, such as food and drug safety, healthcare, insurance, finance, and philanthropy.

In addition, Neusoft is actively engaging in close collaboration with its partners to accelerate business model innovation. In 2019, Neusoft joined forces with Baidu to jointly promote the implementation of artificial intelligence technologies in key areas such as smart cities and healthcare. During his speech, Liu Jiren mentioned that Neusoft and Baidu are building a new ecosystem empowered by software. The two parties will collaborate to create a comprehensive solution for new-type smart cities—“Cloud Intelligence Future City”—integrating technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing, thereby truly leveraging technology to enable smarter future development and governance of cities.

Liu Jiren stated that Neusoft of the future will not merely be a software company, but rather an enterprise that creates value and new ecosystems through software. Neusoft will actively collaborate with customers and partners to foster new application scenarios by integrating software with various industries and sectors. This approach aims to generate value beyond traditional software offerings, establish a new survival model for software enterprises, empower modern life, and drive social progress.
