AI research collaboration and Alpha Engine initiative
In a business update and related news release, Alpha Technology Group and The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) announced the establishment of the “AlphaMind Lab”, an AI research institute focused on developing the “Alpha Engine”. According to the company and HKUST representatives, the Alpha Engine aims to address data and computing power thresholds in AI development by using a “training AI with AI” autonomous learning architecture.
The stated goal of the Alpha Engine is to significantly reduce the time and cost associated with high-quality data collection and manual annotation, compressing the development time for dedicated AI models from traditional multi‑month cycles to much shorter periods. Company statements describe the intended impact as transforming customized AI from a “luxury” into a “necessity” and enabling small and medium-sized enterprises with limited data resources to access customized AI capabilities.
Alpha’s collaboration with HKUST is presented as combining HKUST’s research expertise in machine learning and algorithm optimization with Alpha’s industrial experience and data, with the objective of translating academic advances into practical applications. The company has also indicated plans to create a fund to maintain partnerships with local universities and colleges in AI research and to support AI-related skill development for teachers in Hong Kong’s education sector.
AI and blockchain partnership
Alpha Technology Group has entered into a strategic partnership with AB DAO, described as an AI-driven blockchain infrastructure provider. Public announcements state that Alpha specializes in AI technology development and AI-powered enterprise resource planning systems, while AB DAO has developed blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT) prototype products such as smart energy meters, self-service payment kiosks, access control systems and secure storage solutions.
The partnership is focused on integrating AI and blockchain technology in areas such as supply chain management, logistics, enterprise operations and IoT, with the aim of delivering more efficient and secure industry solutions. This collaboration reflects Alpha’s participation in AI applications that intersect with blockchain infrastructure and connected devices.

After underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, Alpha reported net proceeds of approximately US$5.32 million.

Financial reporting and segment information
Alpha’s financial statements and press releases provide breakdowns of revenue by service type, including system development, web and mobile application development, AI-OCR services, technological support and maintenance and other services, and NFT-related services. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, the company reported significant year-on-year growth in revenue and gross profit, with explanations attributing the increase to system development projects for carpark management companies in Hong Kong, NFT-related projects, and expanded maintenance services for a local non-government organization.
Subsequent interim financial statements for the six months ended March 31, 2025 discuss changes in revenue, cost of revenue, gross profit margins, selling, general and administrative expenses, other income and interest expense, and net loss.
