Supporting technology innovation

The emergence of the "SSE STAR Market" has accelerated the innovative and integrated development of technology and finance and opened a brand-new market where global technological data is used to assess the technological strengths and positions of enterprises.

GTCOM has used its technological strengths like the multilingual natural language processing algorithm, the knowledge graph and machine translation, as well as the strength of massive global technology data to introduce the JoveEye global research and technology discovery system. The system can perform a panoramic analysis of enterprises from four index dimensions, namely, technology innovation, enterprise stability, investment risk and market impact. The comprehensive innovation ability, technological position in the industry, investment risk and market impact of target companies can be assessed intelligently so as to provide a reference for decision-making in terms of technological investment and R&D as well as to strongly support cutting-edge technologies, innovative technology enterprises and outstanding talent. GTCOM CEO Eric Yu explained that, by leveraging on the global research and technology discovery system of this system, GTCOM will hold in hands with Shanghai Stock Exchange Technology Co., Ltd. to jointly serve users in the service industry and utilize technology to push technology innovation.

Empowering financial regulation

The release of the FinTech Development Plan (2019 - 2021) ushered in a new phase of fintech innovation. How to create effective and innovative fintech regulatory instruments and raise the professionalism, consistency and penetration of financial regulation becomes a focus of the industry.

GTCOM has adopted its unique financial quantitative algorithm to carry out a deep quantitative analysis of global financial alternative data factors and the financial knowledge graph to launch varied financial regulatory solutions for the financial market, listed companies, Internet finance and debt issuers. It has used the knowledge graph technology to probe into the deep correlation among the core elements in the financial industry, such as the subject, product and transaction, while enhancing the accuracy of financial regulation. It has adopted the risk identification, diffusion and forecast model to identify risks in advance and strengthen the effectiveness of risk regulation. It has perceived the natural evolution of historical events and reinforced iterative learning to make the regulatory process more intelligent and intelligently support financial regulation and risk control. Due to its outstanding strengths, JoveMind (knowledge-graph construction and analysis platform), a knowledge-graph product of GTCOM, was named one of the year's cutting-edge technology products in the 2018 T-EDGE Awards.
