Lenovo Group and Haier Group signed a strategic cooperation agreement at Lenovo’s Beijing headquarters last week, with senior executives from both sides present. As AI advances from research to industrial applications, the two firms will use their technical and ecological strengths to integrate computing power with various use cases, exploring ways to apply AI to boost the real economy. The cooperation covers five key areas (data centers, home robots, supply chain optimization, integrating Haier’s Casco platform with Lenovo’s computing resources and urban smart systems, and developing AI PCs for Haier’s smart homes). They will also establish industry standards and joint investment frameworks. The move helps Lenovo find practical uses for AI terminals while enabling Haier to strengthen its smart home and industrial internet capabilities through external computing power. Both aim to create integrated solutions combining devices, computing power, and services to support initiatives such as Digital China and dual carbon goals.
