Announcement on the Establishment of the Investment & Financing Project Evaluation Committee
To align with the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence technologies and the deep integration of innovation with global capital, and to further enhance the professionalization of AI technology transfer and industrialization, the Asia Research Institute of the National Academy of Artificial Intelligence (NAAI) hereby announces the establishment of the Investment & Financing Project Evaluation Committee.
As artificial intelligence advances from foundational research toward large-scale application, effective coordination among technological innovation, industrial systems, and capital resources has become increasingly critical. Asia, as one of the world’s most dynamic regions for AI innovation and deployment, requires a professional evaluation platform that integrates academic authority, industrial insight, and financial expertise to systematically assess and select high-potential projects.
The Investment & Financing Project Evaluation Committee will serve as a key professional body of the Asia Research Institute in the fields of investment, financing, and technology commercialization, with the following core functions:
To conduct professional and systematic evaluations of AI and frontier-technology investment and financing projects, focusing on technological innovation, maturity, scalability, and long-term development potential;
To assess projects from both industrial and financial perspectives, including business models, market prospects, compliance structures, and risk factors;
To provide independent, objective, and internationally oriented advisory opinions and evaluation recommendations for major investment decisions, industrial strategies, and cross-border cooperation initiatives;
To facilitate effective alignment among AI research outcomes, industrial demand, and capital resources, accelerating the commercialization and global deployment of advanced technologies;
To leverage the Committee members’ global expertise across technology, finance, law, and industry to foster cross-regional, cross-institutional, and interdisciplinary collaboration, and to build an open, collaborative, and sustainable AI investment ecosystem.
Guided by the principles of professionalism, independence, fairness, and forward-looking vision, the Committee aspires to become an internationally influential platform for AI investment evaluation and strategic advisory, providing sustained intellectual and capital support for global AI innovation and industrial development.
