SK Telecom, SK Square and SK hynix Launch ‘SK ICT Alliance’ for Synergies

Leave a comment

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9, 2022 — At CES 2022, SK Telecom, SK Square and SK hynix announced the launch of the ‘SK ICT Alliance’ to jointly develop and invest in ICT convergence technologies, and create global market opportunities. 

Park Jung-ho, Vice Chairman and CEO of SK Square and SK hynix

The alliance comes as SK hynix celebrates the tenth year since joining the SK Group and SK Square successfully spun off from SK Telecom, marking the beginning of a new era of synergies between semiconductor, telecommunication and investment. 

Ryu young-sang, CEO of SK Telecom
Ryu young-sang, CEO of SK Telecom

With the aim to secure global competitiveness in diverse ICT areas such as semiconductors, 5G and AI, the three companies plan to carry out joint business activities in the global market by leveraging SK Square’s innovative investment, SK Telecom’s AI and 5G technologies and SK hynix’s  future semiconductor technologies.

From January 2022, the three companies will operate ‘Synergy Council’ chaired by Vice Chairman Park Jung-ho, and joined by Ryu Young-sang, CEO of SK Telecom, and Lee Seok-Hee, CEO of SK hynix. The Synergy Council will be the highest decision making body, where the executives discuss R&D cooperation and joint investments in semiconductor and ICT areas, and promote global market expansion. 

  • Increasing the presence of SK Telecom’s self-developed AI semiconductor SAPEON

SK Telecom, SK Square and SK hynix will first create synergies in introducing SK Telecom’s AI chip SAPEON* to the global market. The three companies will jointly invest to establish SAPEON Inc. in the U.S. and make inroads into the global AI semiconductor market. 

* SAPEON is SK Telecom’s self-developed AI chip launched in November 2020. Although it is about half the price of a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), its deep learning computation speed is 1.5 times faster and it uses 20% less power than GPU.

SK Telecom plans to lead the development of SAPEON-related technologies by leveraging its R&D capabilities and service experience accumulated in 5G and AI. In the mid-to long-term, the company will expand its SAPEON model lineup by developing AI chips dedicated to data centers and autonomous driving.

SK Telecom will also promote synergies between its AI semiconductor and SK hynix’s semiconductor memory technologies, while also attracting strategic and financial investors in cooperation with SK Square. 

SAPEON Inc. will serve as an outpost for expanding the AI semiconductor business to the global market by attracting U.S.-based big tech companies as major clients. It will also secure an edge in luring semiconductor development experts and drawing in outside investors. Moreover, as the subsidiary of SAPEON Inc., SAPEON Korea will take charge of business in Korea and the Asian region. 

Projecting that the convergence of AI and metaverse will define the future world of ICT, SK Telecom plans to innovate its three key services, T Universe, Ifland and AI Agent, in an accelerated manner. Moreover, it will also introduce new services by adding connected intelligence to future devices such as UAM aircrafts, self-driving cars and robots. 

"By proactively responding to changes taking place in the areas of AI, metaverse and 5G, we will prepare ourselves for the next decade," said Ryu Young-sang, CEO of SK Telecom.   

  • Creating an ICT investment capital of over KRW 1 trillion

SK Telecom, SK Square and SK hynix plan to establish a base to make investments overseas this year and attract investment from overseas financial investors to create and operate a total investment capital of over KRW 1 trillion. Detailed discussions on investments are already underway with prominent global investors.

With this investment capital, the three companies will actively invest in companies with innovative technologies such as AI, metaverse, block chain and semiconductors. 

Through these investment activities, they will be able to stay ahead of the convergence trend within the ICT industry and discover unicorns that can change the industrial landscape, which will lead to valuable business synergies. 

SK Telecom and SK hynix will be able to strengthen business partnerships with the companies they invested in or even secure an advantage in the acquisition of these companies in the future. SK Square expects to build a good track record as an investment company, while increasing its corporate value. 

According to market research company Mergermarket, the size of the global buyout market reached around KRW 1,400 trillion (USD 1.172 trillion) in 2021, increasing by about twofold from the previous year. Industries are being rapidly reorganized via M&As between global companies, and those that fail to keep up with this trend are left behind the competition. 

  • SK hynix to increase its global market presence through ‘Inside America’ strategy

SK hynix aims to become a top global tech company that leads the rapidly changing ICT industry.

Recently, the semiconductor market is witnessing more diversified demand from sectors like AI, autonomous driving and metaverse, and pluralization is taking place within the system architecture field like CPU, GPU and MPU. Since the existing law of competition no longer applies to this market, it is imperative for companies to develop new business models and technologies to remain competitive. 

With the acquisition of Intel’s NAND and SSD business, SK hynix is now fully set to strengthen the competitiveness of its NAND flash business. The company also aims to break away from its existing role as a semiconductor supplier and become a company that leads future technologies along with global ICT companies. 

Moreover, SK hynix will carry out its ‘Inside America’ strategy in the U.S., world’s largest ICT market and battlefield, to enhance its business competitiveness and expand into new partnerships. It will also establish a new business unit and R&D center in the U.S. Based on SK hynix’s competitiveness, the three companies expect to strengthen their collaboration with global ICT companies.

"SK hynix will take a leap to become a top-notch global tech company by offering more innovative technologies and products, and creating value for the society and humanity," said Lee Seok-Hee, CEO of SK hynix. 

Meanwhile, SK Square plans to accelerate the creation of synergies among the three companies by making innovative investments. In response to SK hynix’s moves towards global market expansion and new technology development, SK Square will make joint investments in the semiconductor ecosystem. In parallel, it will increase its investment in platforms that will drive future innovations such as metaverse and blockchain.

SK Square will also enter the new global block chain market by leveraging Korbit, a virtual asset exchange it recently invested in, and build a blockchain-based economic system in collaboration with SK Telecom’s metaverse platform Ifland.

"This year, the SK ICT Alliance will join forces to achieve new innovations and make a big leap forward in the global market," said Park Jung-ho, Vice Chairman and CEO of SK Square and SK hynix. "As leading players in the global semiconductor and ICT industries, we will also make best efforts to contribute to the Korean economy."

JD.com Plans to Double Imports of Sunkist Citrus Over the Next Three Years

Leave a comment

BEIJING, Dec. 20, 2021 — JD Fresh, the fresh produce business of JD.com announced a plan to double the imports of Sunkist’s citrus fruits in the next three years as the American citrus grower cooperative’s first export ship of newly harvested navel oranges arrived in Shanghai from Long Beach, California in mid-December.

The rising demand for high-quality fresh produce is a prominent trend amid China’s consumption upgrade. JD.com became an authorized e-commerce direct-sourcing partner of Sunkist’s citrus fruits in China since 2018, the company has seen a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 60% in Sunkist’s fresh citrus sales in the past years, and it plans to import no less than 10,000 tons of the premium citrus within the next three years.

Sunkist’s farmers in California sent off the first ship of seasonal navel oranges to JD Fresh in China

"Thanks to our close collaboration with Sunkist and JD’s cold-chain logistic strength, we have created a highly efficient way to supply the in-season citrus directly from farm trees around the world to the dining tables of Chinese customers throughout the year at a better price and faster speed," said Wei Ye, general manager of JD Fresh.

"As people have greater need for healthy fresh food and are becoming more and more customized to shop for them online after the pandemic, we are confident to support Sunkist to further grow in the China market," he added.

"We are grateful for the opportunity to deliver fresh California-grown Sunkist citrus to consumers in China," said Christina Ward, Sr. Director of Global Marketing at Sunkist Growers, Inc.  "Through JD.com, we can educate millennial consumers on the in-season availability, flavor attributes, and nutritional benefits of our fruit."

Sunkist Growers is a citrus marketing cooperative, founded in 1893, which is owned by and operated for thousands of family farmers growing citrus in California and Arizona. The variety of its fresh citrus products include oranges, lemons, limes, mandarins and more. The seasonal navel oranges from the sunny California groves feature a refreshingly sweet and juicy taste, pleasant floral aroma and a bright orange, seedless interior.

Upon the ship’s arrival in China, following the custom quality inspection, the navel oranges will be sent directly to JD’s self-operated cold chain warehouses. The fruits will be put in JD customized packages and go straight to customers’ door steps through JD’s nationwide logistics network. JD’s cold-chain logistics for fresh produce, which range from same-day delivery to two-hour flash delivery, are the standard services available in more than 300 cities across China, allowing consumers in both coastal and inland regions to enjoy the freshest Sunkist products.

China is the largest importer for Sunkist citrus, accounting for about 30% of its global exports. Despite the headwinds in trade and supply chain in the past year, JD.com and Sunkist have continued to work together to ensure stable and smooth supplies to China and made the brand achieve first in sales among all the imported American citrus brands during the 2020-2021 season.

According to statistics from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in September, U.S. citrus exports have dropped by 6% between 2020-2021 as compared to the previous season, primarily due to a smaller fresh-market crop. Under such circumstances, it is even more critical for the two sides to strengthen their partnership as a good indicator for the support of Sunkist’s farmers and the brand’s fans in China.

Leave a comment

MACAO, Dec. 17, 2021 — Trip.com Group, a leading global travel service provider, hosted its 2021 Global Partner Summit in Macao where the travel Group shared the performance results and future plans of its content marketing pivot launched earlier this year.


In 2020, with the impact of the pandemic continuing to be felt across the travel industry, Trip.com Group began expanding its content offering, and upgraded this approach in March 2021 with the launch of its content marketing strategy. It focused on increasing and enhancing engagement between travellers and partners inspiring user travel. Largely centred on the sub-brand Ctrip platform to date, the content pivot has informed a Group-wide approach that also been implemented on the Group’s Trip.com platform.

In a keynote presentation at the Global Partner Summit, Bo Sun, CMO of Trip.com Group, shared with the audience that the two key pillars of user growth and traffic growth have guided the strong performance of the Group’s content marketing push. Over the past year, the amount of content traffic on Ctrip has doubled, with a 100% increase in the total amount of published content and a 200% year-on-year increase in the number of signed traveller content creators on the platform.

Commenting on the rich content ecosystem developed on the platform, Sun said "The comprehensive marketing toolkit available on our Ctrip platform empowers partners to achieve more with their offering. By better connecting products and partners we are optimizing user engagement, inspiring more travellers and generating increased traffic." This year, Ctrip content accumulated over 220 million user views with 35% of unique users regularly browsing content hosted on the platform. In addition to the vast exposure generated for partners, up to 30% of users placed an order within one month of viewing content.

Core to this strategy has been the building out of marketing products, tools and channels to empower partners to increase traffic and drive sales. Ctrip’s livestreaming platform has hosted over 3,000 partners who have presented over 10,000 livestream sessions showcasing their products and promotions. To further generate engagement, Ctrip rolled out a series of campaign days that spotlight specific partner destinations, brands, offers and more to boost brand and product recognition as well as sales.

Sun, who announced the launch of Star Hub in May, shared the benefits seen by the over 260 destination, hotel and attraction partners who have established their own Star Hub channels. Star Hub channels are dedicated partner channels where partners can share products, promotions, host content and engage directly with users. Evidencing the advantages Star Hub channels can bring, the Trip.com Group CMO noted that a user who follows a partner Star Hub channel has a 20% higher repurchase rate and is 300% more likely to visit the channel than a non-follower user.

At the Summit, Sun concluded by acknowledging the fruitful results Trip.com Group’s content marketing strategy has achieved whilst faced with the uncertainty of the global travel market, and that the Group will continue to build out the marketing toolkit available to partners in 2022.

Nearly 100 guests, including ambassadors, consuls, and representatives of chambers of commerce from nearly 30 countries on five continents, gathered together to explore new areas of exchange and cooperation and make new friends in the field of business around the new theme of "industrial cooperation", according to Foreign Affairs Office of Wuxi.

Zhao Jianjun, Acting Mayor of Wuxi Municipal People’s Government, said that Wuxi sincerely hopes to deepen exchanges and cooperation with the people of sister cities in broader fields and at a higher starting point. "We will strengthen the alignment of policies, industries, and projects, promote the upgrading of two-way economic, trade and investment cooperation, and will tap into complementary advantages and achieve win-win cooperation." Focusing on industrial development, scientific and technological innovation, green low-carbon, urban construction, and other areas, the event intends to explore new models of capital, technology, and talent cooperation.

At the conference, the "Closer Cooperation, Forever Friendship" international industrial cooperation platform and the "Sino-Dutch Big Data Industrial Platform" were officially launched, helping Wuxi to further deepen its global industrial cooperation. The international cooperation projects of various cities (counties) and districts were unveiled at the conference one by one, covering 14 countries and regions around the world, including people-to-people exchanges, personnel training, artificial intelligence, green environmental protection, and other fields. It shows the sufficient strength and fruitful results of Wuxi’s implementation of the cooperation plan for international exchanges.

The conference played a series of videos showing achievements of the international sister city industrial cooperation projects, which demonstrates the great charm of "Humanistic Wuxi", "Intelligent Wuxi", "Open Wuxi" and "Innovative Wuxi" from four aspects: people-to-people connection, industrial cooperation, platform interconnection and resource sharing.

The project "See Sister Cities in the Cloud" was also launched at the conference, and promo videos from 24 countries and 29 international sister cities will be displayed on outdoor screens such as airport and Nanchang Street, as well as subway, bus and other mobile terminals, so that citizens can have an "international trip" without leaving home at any time.
