Insights
Global Mofy's strategic investment in Ethiopian logistics platform Wetruck AI marks their first African market entry, expanding their AI technology into high-growth emerging markets.
Global Mofy's investment in Ethiopian digital freight platform Wetruck AI represents a calculated expansion into the African market, specifically targeting East Africa's underdeveloped logistics infrastructure. This marks the company's first direct entry into Africa, positioning them to capitalize on the region's growing logistics demands through AI applications.
The strategic rationale is compelling - East Africa is experiencing rapid infrastructure digitalization with significant inefficiencies in traditional road freight systems. Wetruck AI's platform, launching in late 2025, will integrate intelligent capacity matching, real-time tracking, dynamic pricing, and automated document processing - all areas where Global Mofy's AI expertise can add substantial value.
What makes this partnership particularly promising is Wetruck AI's international founding team, which includes logistics veterans from Ethiopia, data specialists, and even a current DHL Ethiopia global freight executive. This local expertise combined with Global Mofy's AI capabilities creates a powerful synergy for addressing region-specific challenges.
Beyond capital investment, Global Mofy will actively shape Wetruck AI's development roadmap and technical architecture, potentially creating a showcase for their AI solutions in emerging markets. This represents a strategic portfolio diversification beyond their core business of virtual content production and 3D digital assets.
For investors, this signals Global Mofy's commitment to finding practical applications for their AI technology in traditional industries with high digitalization potential. The company is clearly positioning itself not just as a technology provider but as an enabler of digital transformation in foundational sectors across high-growth markets globally.
BEIJING, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Mofy AI Limited (the “Company” or “Global Mofy”) (Nasdaq: GMM), a generative AI-driven technology solutions provider engaged in virtual content production and the development of 3D digital assets for use in the broader digital content industry, today announced that it has completed a strategic investment in WETRUCK TECHENABLE SOLUTIONS PLC (“Wetruck AI”), a digital freight platform headquartered in Ethiopia. This investment marks Global Mofy’s first direct market entry into Africa and represents a key strategic initiative to accelerate the industrial application of AI in high-growth, under-digitized sectors.
Africa, particularly the East African region, is undergoing a pivotal stage of infrastructure digitalization. As regional trade continues to grow and logistics demand increases, traditional road freight systems are increasingly challenged by inefficiencies and limited transparency. Global Mofy believes there is significant potential to improve these systems through AI-driven freight platform integration, process visibility, and intelligent capacity matching. The company views East Africa as a promising market for applying AI to enhance infrastructure operations and support the digital transformation of the real economy. Through this strategic investment, Global Mofy is also advancing the adoption of AI technologies in emerging markets and reinforcing its international presence.
As part of its international expansion strategy, and beyond capital investment, Global Mofy will play an active role in shaping Wetruck AI’s development roadmap and technical architecture. The Company will leverage its expertise in AI and digital system design to support Wetruck AI’s growth, operational efficiency, and platform scalability.
Wetruck AI was founded by an international team with core members from the United States, Germany, and Ethiopia. The team brings professional expertise across logistics operations, data technology, financial management, and corporate strategy. Its founding members include former executives from leading Ethiopian freight companies, data specialists educated at globally recognized institutions, financial professionals with extensive experience in venture incubation and cross-border capital operations, as well as a local industry advisor currently serving as Global Head of Freight at DHL Ethiopia. This combination of diverse backgrounds and hands-on experience provides a solid foundation for Wetruck AI’s continued success and market expansion in East Africa.
Initial and core product of Wetruck AI is its digital freight platform and mobile application designed to modernize and optimize the road transportation system in East Africa, which is under development and will be launched in late 2025. The platform integrates key functions such as intelligent capacity matching, real-time tracking, dynamic pricing, and automated document processing, creating a more efficient and transparent freight service network. With a built-in smart pricing engine and GPS-enabled shipment tracking, the system enhances matching efficiency, reduces operational costs, and accelerates the digitalization and standardization of freight logistics across the region. Backed by advanced AI algorithms and strong data capabilities, Wetruck AI is well positioned to transform the road freight landscape in African markets and drive the sector toward greater intelligence and performance.
This investment represents Global Mofy’s latest step in advancing the integration of AI with traditional industries. It also reflects the company’s continued focus on the digital transformation of high-potential markets. Through this investment, Global Mofy aims to gain practical industry insights applicable to global markets, further enhance its technology delivery capabilities, and strengthen the competitive edge of its AI-driven solutions.
“Africa represents one of the most promising regions for sustainable economic growth, especially in foundational industries like logistics and transportation,” said Mr. Haogang Yang, Chairman and CEO of Global Mofy. “We observe long-term value in the region’s transition toward intelligent infrastructure and the modernization of critical industries. Wetruck AI has demonstrated significant potential in the digital freight sector. This strategic investment reflects our commitment to global expansion and our broader vision of leveraging advanced AI technologies to empower traditional industries across high-growth markets. We will continue to scale our international presence and deliver enduring value for our shareholders through innovation and strategic execution.”
