Summary
June's deal with Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corp will build the city's largest domestically developed AI data center, with first-phase capacity of 3,000 petaFLOPS due by end-2026.
SenseTime says generative AI has shifted overseas demand from stand-alone models to end-to-end offerings, making local inference capacity and integrated computing, models and applications the new export focus.
Hong Kong is central to that strategy because it combines Chinese and international compliance systems, strong global connectivity and access to Greater Bay Area talent, the company said.
The project follows SenseTime's 2025 deployment of China's first overseas domestic computing cluster in the Middle East through a joint venture with Saudi Arabia's PIF.
SenseTime, active in more than a dozen overseas markets, sees AI infrastructure exports as a broader upgrade in Chinese tech's global push beyond apps and hardware.
