Please provide a brief overview of Movespeed, including its organizational structure, relationship with its parent company Aohai, and collaborative efforts between the two companies in R&D, production, and brand promotion.

MOVESPEED, headquartered in Shenzhen, China, is a wholly-owned high-end innovative brand under A-share listed company Aohai Technology (stock code: 002993), targeting the personal consumer market.

Currently, the brand center team of Yisu Technology has a scale of nearly 200 people. Relying on the deep accumulation of its parent company Aohai Technology in research and development, manufacturing, and financial strength, it has quickly established a solid foothold in major e-commerce platforms such as China and Amazon, achieving top-tier market performance.

How does Movespeed differentiate itself in the highly competitive consumer electronics and accessories market through design, quality, and technological innovation?

Leveraging the technological and production expertise of its parent company, Aohai Technology, the core strategy builds competitive advantages through three key dimensions: design, quality, and technological innovation, ultimately establishing a brand identity that combines ‘technology empowerment’ with ‘experience-first’ philosophy.

1. Product Design: Global Aesthetics + Scenario-based Innovation

Moving beyond homogenization and trend-chasing, we precisely capture regional aesthetic preferences:

  • European/American industrial style
  • Japanese/Korean refined style
  • Emerging markets’ vibrant style

Focusing on high-frequency scenarios, we introduce foldable fast chargers, multi-port charging bases, and anti-drop energy storage products, ensuring designs that are both visually appealing and functionally practical.

2. Quality Control: Original Factory Standards + Global Certification

Sharing the original production system and full-process quality control standards of Aohai, the products undergo multiple rounds of rigorous testing from raw materials to finished goods. They cover global mainstream safety certifications such as UL, CE, and FCC, meeting compliance requirements in various countries and accumulating long-term user reputation.

3. Technological Innovation: Dimensionality Reduction + Demand Adaptation

The Aohai industry-grade core technologies (self-developed high-power fast charging, intelligent temperature control, and power management) have been extended to consumer-grade products, achieving breakthroughs such as “small size with high power.” Based on global user feedback, the technology has been iteratively optimized, including improvements in wide voltage adaptability, to better meet practical usage requirements.

  • Global expansion strategy: As a pivotal component of emerging market deployment, the accumulated experience provides a model for expanding into Latin America and Africa.

What are the short-term and long-term strategies for expanding into the Middle East market from Dubai, particularly in partnership development, localization, and brand building?

With Dubai as the central hub, the strategy extends across the Middle East. In the short term (1-2 years), the focus is on ‘rapid establishment and model validation,’ while in the long term (3-5 years), the goal is to ‘deep penetration and benchmark-setting.’

Short-term Planning (1-2 years): Rapid Positioning

  • Partnership Strategy: Partner with leading local B2B agents and platforms like Noon and Amazon Middle East. Collaborate with local certification bodies and select 3-5 logistics providers to establish a core urban distribution network.
