Shenzhen - 21 August 2025 - Against the backdrop of the in-depth restructuring of the global industrial supply chain and the digital wave sweeping across global trade, SY Holdings Group Limited ("SY Holdings" or the "Group", stock code: 6069.HK)formally launched its global strategic deployment, following the establishment of its international headquarters in Singapore. SY Holdings will build a new “International Supply Chain Technology Platform” (the “Technology Platform”) powered by artificial intelligence (“AI”), which focuses on serving small and medium-sized enterprises (“SMEs”) in the upstream and downstream of the global supply chain and provides one-stop solutions encompassing flexible supply chain services, cross-border working capital, exchange rate management and digital empowerment. SY Holdings is committed to supporting SMEs in efficiently expanding into global markets, while fulfilling its mission of “reshaping the global supply chain hand in hand with SMEs” and jointly opening a new era of growth in resonance with global development.
Currently, global supply chains are experiencing a period of regionalised and fragmented reorganisation. Amid rising trade barriers, demand fluctuations, and more dispersed production locations, international orders have shifted towards a pattern characterised by “small-ticket, high-frequency, and discrete” transactions. These changes are disrupting traditional supply chain collaboration networks; notably, the misalignment between warehousing and logistics has significantly increased the complexity of end-to-end fulfilment, raising overall costs and reducing efficiency. Fragmentation across supply chain links has become a common challenge in international operations.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (“SMEs”) , positioned at the end of global supply chains, face systemic issues such as unstable access to international orders, high-cost financing, and lengthy payment cycles. Traditional financial institutions struggle to support them effectively due to “entity-credit” assessments and reliance on collateral or core-enterprise guarantees, which pose challenges like information asymmetry, risk evaluation, and funds monitoring. These difficulties are exacerbated by complex environments like multi-tier subcontracting, offshore trade, and services trade, leading to a widening financing gap. According to the World Bank, about 40% of SMEs worldwide lack sufficient financing, with the rate rising to 60% in emerging markets.
Meanwhile, rapid advances and innovative AI applications present a new way to tackle these challenges. Recognising this significant market gap and historic opportunity, SY Holdings will utilise its platform-based technology service model—initialised in China and easily adaptable—to officially begin its global expansion.
As a Singaporean–controlled international enterprise, SY Holdings has secured strategic investment from Temasek, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund. It continues to expand its global footprint through strategic collaborations and investments with leading companies in Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and other regions. Since entering China, SY Holdings has focused on traditional sectors such as infrastructure, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and commodities, while gradually venturing into emerging fields like e-commerce and robotics. By leveraging technology to connect industrial ecosystems and data, and employing a “transaction-focused, asset-light” risk-management approach, the Group supports SMEs along the supply chain to better “find orders, find funding”. To date, it has assisted over 19,100 Chinese enterprises with order-matching and working-capital services exceeding RMB278 billion, with more than 97% being SMEs and over 30% first-time borrowers. Under this global strategic deployment, SY Holdings will adopt the platform-based strategy as its foundation and develop the Technology Platform, which will leverage cutting-edge technologies such as AI large language models and AI Agent to establish an intelligent hub connecting global industrial trade scenarios
with inclusive funding sources, fostering optimal resource allocation and efficient circulation worldwide.
SY Holdings is currently developing an international supply chain technology platform designed to achieve the vision of “re-creating another SY Holdings” in the international market. On the asset side, the Technology Platform will establish direct system linkages with leading international enterprises and proactively connect to global supply chains through AI Agent technology. Serving as an “intelligent probe” and “data hub” within the industrial ecosystem, the AI Agent will capture, cleanse and analyse multi-dimensional data in real-time from genuine trade scenarios. This enables the Group to verify the authenticity and rationality of underlying transactions across multiple dimensions, while providing ecosystem partners with precise access to business opportunities and supply chain solutions to improve efficiency and competitiveness. On the funding side, the Technology Platform will leverage AI large language model technologies to process massive, dynamic supply chain datasets and match supply chain working capital needs arising from real and verified trade scenarios with appropriate international funding sources in a precise and efficient manner. By deeply analysing data such as trade backgrounds, track records, and historical performance, the Technology Platform will construct more comprehensive and objective evaluation models, thereby significantly enhancing its ability to intelligently match high-quality supply chain assets dispersed globally with diversified international funding seeking stable returns, in an efficient and cost-efficient manner.
SY Holdings’ global deployment is not starting from scratch – it has already entered into cooperation with a number of international partners with regional or industry influence, and has been proactively exploring and accumulating business resources in Southeast Asia, such as facilitating cross-border supply chain services between Carro (the largest online used car trading platform in Southeast Asia) and Zeekr, assisting Chinese merchants on Shopee (Southeast Asia’s largest e-commerce platform) in achieving accelerated working capital recovery and boosting revenue from order surges, teaming up with Xinbada (the largest flexible supply chain supplier for Shein) to expand into the Vietnamese and Moroccan markets, and partnering with Oh!some (a leading international trendy retail brand) to support the overseas expansion of Chinese brands into Southeast Asia. Through the utilisation of its international supply chain technology platform, the Group endeavours to connect systems with its partners, thereby enabling resource interoperability and promoting joint global growth. Notably, the Group has already established cooperation with more than 30 international financial institutions, laying a strong foundation for the expansion of larger-scale and broader international business in the future.
To address the longstanding challenges in international trade payments and settlements – specifically, low efficiency, cumbersome procedures, and high costs – SY Holdings has identified “technological breakthrough” as a key strategic direction, continuously consolidating the underlying blockchain technology foundation of the Technology Platform while proactively embracing the Web3.0 era. On one hand, the Company plans to pioneer the introduction of stablecoin applications in international supply chain service scenarios, enabling minute-level settlement and low-cost clearing for cross-border payments between enterprises within the ecosystem – with efficiency significantly outperforming the traditional telegraphic transfer system. On the other hand, the Company will further explore application scenarios for the tokenisation of real-world assets (“RWA”), whereby high-quality international supply chain assets on the Technology Platform will be converted into standardised, fractionalised and traceable digital assets on-chain. This will not only provide efficient financing channels for SMEs but also establish transparent, credible and traceable value carriers for assets that are difficult to access international capital markets under traditional models – significantly enhancing their attractiveness to global institutional investors. On this basis, SY Holdings is expected to further unlock “dormant” assets in the global supply chain, fully realising the advantages of scale, speed, quality, and cost-effectiveness in international supply chain capital circulation.
To effectively support the implementation of its global strategic deployment, the Group plans to introduce strategic partners with global resources for the entity of its international headquarters at an appropriate time, so as to strengthen core ecosystem connectivity and accelerate business expansion. SY Holdings will also continue to build a more open platform, deeply integrate the respective advantages across the industrial chain, and become an integral part of the international supply chain. To this end, the Group is deploying resources in a targeted manner to build an international team that combines global vision, local industry insights, technological research and development capabilities; in parallel, the Group will also accelerate the achievement of strategic positioning at key industrial nodes through strategic investments, while efficiently integrating localized ecosystem resources, operational expertise and high-value data assets.
Looking ahead, considering the significant changes within global industrial supply chains and rapid digital transformation, the Group plans to leverage its established platform, strong ecosystem, and practical AI applications to support global supply chains and the growth of small, and medium enterprises. This collaborative approach seeks to explore new opportunities for growth.
