On January 30th, CMA Testing, together with CMA+, participated in the “Hong Kong Polytechnic University 2026 Legal Artificial Intelligence Achievements Exhibition” and signed a tripartite memorandum of understanding with Hong Kong Polytechnic University and WiseLaw Limited. This collaboration aims to integrate top-tier academic research, cutting-edge legal technology, and mature commercialization capabilities to jointly build an innovative cooperation model oriented towards industry support, capacity building, and knowledge dissemination, providing a comprehensive and intelligent support system for Chinese enterprises going global.
This collaboration marks another step forward for CMA+, a subsidiary of CMA Testing, in its strategic layout of building an integrated professional service ecosystem encompassing “business, technology, and law.” Previously, we had established strategic alliances with Yingke Law Firm, Beijing Yingke (Hong Kong) Law Firm, and SESG Enterprise, bringing together professional strengths in the three major areas of business technology, law, and wealth management to form a basic service framework supporting enterprises and talent going global. Now, with the addition of cutting-edge research capabilities from top universities and intelligent solutions from legal technology companies, the platform’s service scope has been further deepened and expanded, providing overseas-bound enterprises with full-chain, customized support from strategic consulting, legal compliance, and technology certification to the commercialization of research results.
In his welcoming address, Professor Christopher CHAO, Senior Vice-President of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, stated, “Hong Kong, backed by the motherland and connected to the world, possesses the unique advantages of a common law system. Leveraging the power of technology, Hong Kong has the potential to play a significant role in cross-border legal technology innovation. WiseLaw, as a model of industry-academia-research collaboration nurtured by PolyU’s PolyVenture entrepreneurial ecosystem, demonstrates how cutting-edge academic research can be transformed into practical tools to support enterprises going global, vividly embodying PolyU’s innovative culture integrated into the rule of law.”
In his address, Dr. Horace Cheung, SBS, JP, Deputy Secretary for Justice of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, emphasized that under the national strategy of high-level opening-up, the Hong Kong legal profession must make good use of technology to improve the efficiency and quality of cross-border legal services. He affirmed the efforts and breakthroughs of PolyU and WiseLaw in promoting legal technology and looked forward to more original Hong Kong legal technology achievements serving the Greater Bay Area and even the world.
In the future, the three parties will rapidly advance specific collaborative projects, focusing on four core areas: overseas legal support and ecosystem empowerment; exploration of co-construction of testing, certification, and compliance intelligence entities; in-depth commercialization of research results and technology transfer; and brand collaboration and marketing activities. The aim is to provide Chinese enterprises going global with practical tools, services, and knowledge outcomes as soon as possible, jointly embracing new opportunities and challenges in the global market.
This collaboration actively responds to the service direction advocated by the Hong Kong SAR Government’s “Mainland Enterprises Going Global Task Force.” The Task Force has emphasized the need to gather comprehensive, customized professional services covering taxation, law, financing, testing and certification, ESG, and intellectual property rights to help enterprises expand into markets such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East. This collaboration among the three parties aims to build a more integrated, intelligent, and market-responsive ecosystem to support businesses going global, providing them with truly one-stop solutions and growth momentum.
