Its investment portfolio includes a host of the world's top tech companies such as ByteDance, Minimax, Moonshot, OpenAI, SpaceX, Grab, Airwallex, Airbnb, and others.
On April 10, Octopus Power announced that it has received strategic investment from Singapore's K3, with existing shareholders Shunwei, Xiaomi, Hillhouse, and Linear continuing to increase their stakes.
Founded by Mr. Kuok Meng Xiong, as the third generation of the Kuok Hock Nien (郭鹤年) family, K3 has long been deeply engaged in investment in the global technology innovation sector, leveraging its forward-looking vision and global layout capabilities, and has built a high-quality investment matrix covering frontier technology and the new economy.Its investment portfolio includes a host of the world's top technology companies such as ByteDance (字节跳动), Minimax, Moonshot, OpenAI, SpaceX, Grab, Airwallex, and Airbnb.
At the same time, possessing high-quality industrial resources in fields such as hotels and logistics, it has also established extensive and efficient business connections and ecological networks in the Southeast Asian and global markets.
SynapX (章鱼动力) is grounded in the deep R&D foundation of the domestic market, while also paying close attention to the vast opportunities in the international market. Being able to attract international industrial capital and gain recognition at the startup stage is a pragmatic step taken by SynapX (章鱼动力) towards its global layout, and it also reflects the strength of its world-class team and technology. Leveraging the massive overseas industrial resources and ecological networks of its strategic shareholders, SynapX (章鱼动力) can access a richer range of real-world global application scenarios, laying a more solid foundation for its going-global strategy.
On the long-term journey towards Physical AGI (Artificial General Intelligence in the physical world), SynapX (章鱼动力) adheres to first principles, always regarding the home scenario as the North Star goal and the ultimate testing ground closest to the Physical AI "Turing Test".
Adhere to the most generalized, universal, and unrestricted home scenario needs to drive the construction of basic capabilities, product evolution, organizational development, and the pace of commercialization. The strategic entry of K3 brings not only top-tier international capital but also a massive global resource network and real-world application scenarios, thereby further broadening the company's industrial resources for long-term development.
To change the physical world, a vision is just a good start; top-tier technology and team are SynapX's (章鱼动力) killer features. Just in March, the Octopus team innovatively proposed the SYNTH architecture. Driven by application scenarios and first principles, they have solidified a capability path formed by scenario traction, model evolution, data closed loops, and real-world applications: using world foundation models to accumulate deeper understanding, representation, and generation capabilities for the physical world; using frequency-division multi-scale strategy models to continuously advance capability evolution in real-world tasks; and using a full-modal data system to打通 the continuous closed loop between scenarios, tasks, data, and capabilities, further solidifying toolchain and product system capabilities oriented towards real-world applications.
