Industry Strategist

UTime signs a three-year MOU to co-develop a digital eldercare platform with a local service integrator.

UTime and Fuxinyi agreed to a three-year collaboration to build a professional digital platform for elderly care services, starting with a pilot in Nanning, Guangxi Province and planned phased rollout across southern China. UTime will contribute device design, product development and manufacturing capabilities while Fuxinyi will provide its network of eldercare service providers and community resources.

The arrangement is structured as an MOU covering joint platform development and a pilot launch. As an MOU, the document signals intent but does not provide binding financial terms, revenue projections, or timelines beyond the three-year cooperation window; those missing details limit visibility on near-term commercial impact. Key dependencies include completion of formal agreements, pilot performance in Nanning, regulatory approvals for healthcare-related offerings if required, and successful integration of devices with service workflows.

Watch for three concrete, monitorable items: formalization of binding contracts and scope, pilot metrics from the Nanning rollout, and announced commercial deployment plans across southern China within the next three years. These milestones will clarify whether the strategic shift into the eldercare and silver-economy space moves from intent to measurable business outcomes.

SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UTime Limited (NASDAQ: WTO) (“UTime” or the “Company”) announced today that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Hainan Fuxinyi Investment Co., Ltd. (“Fuxinyi), a company specializing in integrating eldercare service resources, to collaborate over the next three years to co-develop a professional digital platform for eldercare services. This partnership intends to leverage UTime’s product development and manufacturing expertise as a U.S.-listed mobile device manufacturer, while Fuxinyi will lead the integration and coordination of eldercare service resources. Initial implementation of the platform is planned to begin in Nanning, Guangxi province, PRC, with planned expansion to other cities across southern China.
