21st August | Hong Kong
Alibaba Group ($285 billion market value) self-driving software company Banma Network Technology is planning for a Hong Kong IPO with Alibaba to retain 30% shareholding after the IPO (Current 44.72%). Banma Network Technology was founded in 2015, and is based in China Shanghai. Banma Network Technology – We are the global pioneer and leader in smart cockpit solutions, driven by a foundational belief: software breathes life into hardware and unleashes intelligence of automobiles and everyday devices. We are committed to transforming automobiles from cold hardware into responsive, intelligent companions. We believe cars are not just machines that move—they can listen, interact, and adapt. That is why we focus on the cockpit, the primary gateway for human-vehicle interaction. With our proprietary automotive operating system (AOS) and full-stack Yan AI architecture, we help OEMs build cars that are truly intelligent, delivering natural voice controls, personalized cabin experiences and evolving in-vehicle services that grow smarter over time. We believe we are not only redefining the cockpit—but also laying the groundwork to extend intelligence across everyday life. We are the No. 1 software-focused smart cockpit solution provider in China by revenue in 2024, according to CIC. We also ranked No. 1 by installation volume, with our solutions deployed in more vehicles than any other provider in the China market, according to the same source. What sets us apart is not just the scale—it’s also the depth. According to CIC, we are one of the only two third-party providers in China who have fully developed an automotive operating system in-house in China. We are also the only smart cockpit solution provider who seamlessly integrate three core pillars of an intelligent vehicle experience—System-Level OS; Full-stack End-to-end AI; and a Vehicle-based Services Marketplace—to deliver a differentiated cockpit solution business model, according to the same source. This unique integration allows us to go beyond delivering software, but transforming cars into dynamic, AI-powered spaces on the move. Our large language model capabilities for smart cockpits ranked No. 1 among nine top automotive AI companies, based on performance across multiple real-world scenarios—including vehicle control, driving, entertainment, travel, business, lifestyle, and social interaction, pursuant to a 2025 report published by IDC, a leading global market research and consulting firm.
