Signing Ceremony Marks the Launch of a New Chapter in Smart Energy
Recently, The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited (hereinafter referred to as "China Gas") held a signing ceremony with Feishu in Shenzhen. Mr. Chan Ying-lung, Executive Director and Chief Investment Officer of the China Gas Group and Executive Chairman of TERA-Award, along with Mr. Zhou Jun, Senior Vice President and Co-Director of TERA-Award, attended the event together with Feishu's Commercial Vice President Zhang Di and Sheng Shaoqin, Head of Feishu's Southern Manufacturing Sector. Both sides' core teams were also present.
A Century-Old Enterprise That Keeps Innovating: An Unchanging Entrepreneurial Spirit
Founded in 1862, China Gas is one of Asia’s longest-standing listed companies in the energy industry. Its operations span city gas, renewable resources, water and environmental services, green chemical products, and telecommunications infrastructure, with networks extending across Hong Kong, mainland China, and multiple Southeast Asian countries. Across more than a century and a half, China Gas has consistently maintained sensitivity to change. At the signing ceremony, Mr. Chan Ying-lung summarized this organizational mindset in one sentence: "We are always startup—despite being 165 years old, we treat every day as if we’re still a startup company."
Building a Global Energy Innovation Ecosystem to Accelerate Technology Adoption
This entrepreneurial mindset is also reflected in China Gas’s continuous investment in innovation ecosystems. Five years ago, China Gas launched TERA-Award, a global platform for energy technology innovation that connects entrepreneurs, research institutions, and industrial resources in the fields of energy and climate technology. Over the past five years, the platform has engaged over 2,000 innovative teams, attracting more than 900 projects just this year alone. Beyond hosting competitions, China Gas aims to open up its industrial resources and real-world application scenarios to help accelerate the deployment of new technologies.
Integrating Digital Capabilities to Co-Build an AI Productivity Platform
On the same day, TERA-Award also announced a partnership with Feishu. The two parties will integrate energy innovation ecosystems with digitalization and AI capabilities, providing energy tech enterprises on the platform with organizational collaboration tools, knowledge management support, and access to industrial resources. The extensive processes, data, and industry practices accumulated by China Gas over many years provide a rich foundation for AI to enter the "physical world" of energy.
From external innovation ecosystems to internal enterprise operations, both reflect the same underlying principle: "Collaboration leads to accumulation; accumulation leads to intelligence." A large number of frontline employees at China Gas operate at construction sites, gas stations, and customer premises, where critical expertise often resides in veteran technicians’ hands-on experience and managers’ judgment—knowledge that is difficult to fully transfer through formal systems or manuals alone. With Feishu, frontline experiences within China Gas and external innovations connected via TERA-Award can be continuously captured through collaboration and rapidly applied in real business operations.

Mr. Chan believes we are currently at a pivotal moment for traditional energy industries to leverage AI for refined operations. In this context, China Gas particularly emphasizes enabling AI to truly become part of the daily workflows of business operations—which was a key reason behind choosing Feishu. Mr. Chan explained: "Feishu does not simply add another layer of AI on top of a collaboration tool. Instead, it allows collaboration, knowledge accumulation, and AI capabilities to naturally coexist within the same working environment, enabling AI to smoothly enter real business scenarios and continuously deliver value in everyday work."
Zhang Di, Commercial Vice President of Feishu
In his speech, Zhang Di, Commercial Vice President of Feishu, stated that the energy sector is one of the most promising areas for digital transformation. "In the age of AI, knowledge, experience, and judgment within enterprises need to flow as freely as energy itself. Feishu hopes to work alongside China Gas to make frontline expertise visible, accessible, and transferable, empowering AI to become a new driving force behind this century-old enterprise’s ongoing spirit of entrepreneurship."
Moving Toward a New Era of Smart Energy
From street gas lamps to smart energy solutions, China Gas has illuminated countless homes over its 160-year history. Today, energy remains fundamental to urban operations, but AI is expanding the very meaning of "energy." Going forward, Feishu will collaborate across all divisions of the China Gas Group to drive AI deeper into real business scenarios such as gas safety, customer service, and operational management. By building systematic AI capabilities, the two organizations aim to advance精细化 operations and business innovation, jointly creating an AI-powered productivity platform for the future of smart energy.
