On July 28th, the "Inside Listed Companies" series of Alliance Institute's "China Digital Energy Entrepreneurs" program continued with momentum. As the highlight of the day's visits, the Digital Energy cohort walked into Mingyuan Cloud (0909.HK), a leading SaaS provider in the real estate sector, for an up-close look at its technological innovations and practical expertise, jointly exploring new pathways for enterprise digital transformation.
In the afternoon, the participants arrived at Mingyuan Cloud's headquarters. Founded in 2003, Mingyuan Cloud is a leading provider of digital solutions for real estate in China, specializing in enterprise-level SaaS services for real estate development, industrial parks, and urban renewal. After more than two decades of dedicated efforts, Mingyuan Cloud has served over 7,000 real estate enterprises, with a market penetration rate exceeding 90% among the top 100 real estate developers—making it a recognized leader in the field.
At the corporate exhibition hall, participants gained a detailed understanding of Mingyuan Cloud's development history and product ecosystem. From its initial ERP systems for real estate enterprises to its current cloud product suite covering the entire business chain—including investment and expansion, design management, cost control, marketing services, asset management, and smart parks—Mingyuan Cloud has continuously evolved alongside the development of China's real estate industry.
Through expert presentations, participants learned that Mingyuan Cloud invests over 20% of its annual revenue in research and development, maintaining two major R&D centers in Shenzhen and Wuhan with nearly 2,000 R&D personnel. It is this sustained technological investment that enables the company to continuously launch innovative products tailored to industry needs.
At the technology demonstration area, Mingyuan Cloud showcased its latest real estate digital twin platform. Through the integrated application of BIM, GIS, IoT, and other technologies, the platform achieves high-precision digital modeling of physical parks and connects real-time sensor data, constructing a digital twin that mirrors the physical world in real-time. From equipment operation status monitoring to energy consumption data analysis and security emergency management, managers can gain comprehensive control over park operations within the digital world.
At the subsequent symposium, Mingyuan Cloud experts delivered a special presentation on "New Pathways for Smart Eco-Park Operations and Development." As industrial upgrading accelerates, traditional parks are transforming toward smarter, more ecological, and more service-oriented models. Drawing on years of industry expertise, Mingyuan Cloud has built a smart park solution covering the entire lifecycle of "planning, construction, management, and operation." The solution achieves comprehensive connectivity of people, activities, assets, and energy within the park through the integration of IoT platforms, big data platforms, and AI capability platforms. In energy management, it enables real-time monitoring and intelligent analysis of electricity, water, gas, and other energy consumption, achieving energy savings and consumption reduction through algorithm optimization. In operational services, it provides enterprises with full-cycle online services from entry to exit, enhancing park operational efficiency and tenant satisfaction.
Focusing on new approaches to enterprise digital transformation, participants engaged in in-depth discussions and exchanges with Mingyuan Cloud experts. Some participants shared challenges encountered in the digital transformation of energy enterprises, such as data silos, system fragmentation, and organizational change. Mingyuan Cloud experts, drawing on their extensive experience serving real estate enterprises, shared practical insights on driving digital transformation.
Both sides agreed that digital transformation is not merely technological upgrading, but also a fundamental rethinking of business processes and organizational change. Successful digital transformation requires commitment from top leadership, deep integration of business and technology, and continuous user-centered iteration. Whether in the energy industry or the real estate sector, these experiences hold universal reference value.
During the exchanges, participants also explored potential opportunities for integration between the energy industry and real estate digitalization. With the advancement of carbon neutrality targets, building energy efficiency, low-carbon park operations, and virtual power plants are emerging as new growth drivers. Energy enterprises can collaborate deeply with real estate digital platforms, uncovering greater energy-saving potential and business value through the integrated analysis of energy data and building operational data.
This visit to Mingyuan Cloud opened participants' eyes to a crucial insight: digitalization is not just a revolution of tools, but a fundamental rethinking of business paradigms. Whether in energy or real estate, digital transformation is the essential path for enterprises to achieve high-quality development. Mingyuan Cloud's dedicated focus—deeply cultivating a single industry for over two decades—also offered participants a profound revelation: by going deep and doing thorough work in a field large enough, one can achieve extraordinary results.
Technology and innovation are the driving forces that sustain enterprise vitality. The visit to Mingyuan Cloud was not only a learning journey to a benchmark enterprise but also a deep dialogue that connected resources and sparked new ideas—opening new horizons for participants on enterprise digital transformation and offering fresh perspectives on the cross-sector integration of energy and real estate.
