In addition, we are attracted to its operational record, management track record and its technology-driven efficiency," he continued.

Additional investment highlights include:

- CNIT won a number of large contracts from the leading media agencies to digitalize OOH media and information systems, accelerating the adoption of its new media SaaS platform in China.
