As China’s forefront of financial opening-up, the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) plays a pivotal role in advancing financial innovation. Leveraging its geographic advantages and close regional economic ties, the GBA has actively promoted cross-border financial collaboration, fostering deeper cooperation among Asian financial institutions and FinTech companies.

On May 20, the GBA FinTech Matchmaking Event, co-hosted by the Shenzhen FinTech Association and The Asian Banker, was successfully held at the GBA FinTech City, with strong support from the Shenzhen Municipal Financial Regulatory Authority and the Futian District Government. Dr. Kuang Wenchuan, Chief Scientist of China Electronics Corporation (CEC) and President of the GienTech Research Institute, attended the event and engaged in discussions on the future of financial technology with bankers and CIOs from 20 financial institutions across the Middle East and Asia-Pacific regions.

During the event, Dr. Kuang introduced Origien, a financial-grade digital foundation platform developed by GienTech. Designed for finance and other mission-critical industries, Origien delivers full-stack validation, adaptation, customization, and optimization, enabling tightly integrated software-hardware architecture and vertical performance optimization. It provides a reliable alternative to traditional architectures, meeting stringent requirements for security, reliability, performance, rapid development, and sustainable operations.

Origien consists of four core platforms: the Core Runtime Platform, Digital Development Platform, Data Asset Platform, and Industry AI Platform, offering a one-stop solution for modernizing industry-grade digital infrastructure.

Validated through over 200 large-scale projects across mainland China and the Greater Bay Area, Origien has achieved industry-leading performance, security, and stability. It supports hundreds of millions of customers and billions of accounts, with peak transaction throughput reaching 50,000 TPS and system availability of 99.9999%.

Dr. Kuang noted that GienTech’s integrated approach—combining digital foundation, consulting, and application modernization—enables enterprises to unlock new levels of digital productivity. Backed by more than a decade of experience in financial AI, GienTech provides end-to-end AI lifecycle capabilities, including model development, training, deployment, and operations, supporting use cases such as intelligent risk management, marketing, OCR, and computer vision.

In recent years, GienTech has been deeply involved in major digital transformation programs for multiple financial institutions in the Greater Bay Area. Key initiatives include the deployment of financial infrastructure platforms with China Resources Bank, as well as CRM solutions jointly developed with The Bank of East Asia, supporting its OneBank strategy and accelerating digital and automated operations, including cross-border business expansion.

Looking ahead, Dr. Kuang highlighted CEC and GienTech’s long-term commitment to international markets, particularly the Asia-Pacific region. Building on China’s proven experience in digital transformation, FinTech, IT infrastructure modernization, data asset innovation, and AI applications—and leveraging the strategic advantages of the Greater Bay Area—GienTech will further strengthen collaboration with regional banks and promote Origien as a global digital foundation for enterprise transformation, advancing toward its vision of becoming an internationally influential software and technology company.
