Through its existing AI data partnership network, ZENO will further explore data licensing, institutional data procurement, and enterprise-level AI analytics services.

ZENO aims to gradually establish a complete commercial value chain connecting real user data contributions with enterprise application demand, enabling high-quality human intelligence data to become a sustainable commercial service.

Second, accelerating ZENO TRADE’s intelligent trading and liquidity business.

By combining ZENO AI, user behavior research, and prediction market data, ZENO will explore AI-powered quantitative trading, market making, cross-platform arbitrage, and liquidity management services.

This business direction aims to further expand ZENO’s commercial application scenarios and explore diversified revenue sources beyond AI data services.

Third, expanding international capital market connections and global ecosystem partnerships.

Leveraging Malcolm’s experience in private equity, venture capital, mergers and acquisitions, and international business consultancy, ZENO will continue exploring partnerships with more AI companies, Web3 technology platforms, and international institutions.

By continuously strengthening its corporate strategy, business model, and global partnership network, ZENO aims to lay the foundation for future large-scale development.
