"AI+Business Evolution Theory" Forum Held in Shanghai, Opening the Era of 'Intelligent Efficiency' with GEA

On April 10, the "AI+Business Evolution Theory: System·Closed Loop·Intelligent Efficiency" forum, co-hosted by CEIBS and Tezign Technology, was held at the CEIBS Shanghai campus. Experts from academia and industry gathered to discuss new paths for AI-driven high-quality enterprise development.

The white paper titled "Business Evolution Blueprint in the AI Era (2026)" was released on-site, systematically proposing a 3×3 strategic matrix that clearly outlines the upgrade path for enterprises from localized AI experiments to systematic "intelligent efficiency," emphasizing that 2026 is a critical turning point for enterprise AI applications, providing an authoritative judgment framework and practical guidelines for the industry.

The forum focused on the core transformation from "human efficiency" to "intelligent efficiency." Experts unanimously agreed that AI is transitioning from an auxiliary tool to the foundation of business, with future competitive barriers lying in data assets, industry experience, and systemic capabilities. Tezign shared its GEA enterprise-level intelligent agent system practice on-site, supporting the implementation of the white paper's concepts with a complete business closed loop, helping enterprises achieve replicable and scalable operational value.

At the forum, Tezign Technology founder Fan Ling proposed a new concept of "Intelligent Agent Business" and provided an in-depth interpretation of Tezign's GEA (Generative Enterprise Agent). This system is designed specifically for real business scenarios, constructing a complete closed loop of "intention layer - orchestration layer - intelligent agent skill layer - context layer," enabling AI to deeply understand business, make autonomous decisions, and execute in a closed loop, achieving full-process intelligent operation from market insights and product innovation to operational optimization.

Leveraging the GEA enterprise-level intelligent agent, Tezign has served over 180 enterprises globally, widely applied in core scenarios such as product innovation, content growth, and user operations, upgrading AI from a mere "cost-reduction and efficiency-increasing tool" to a business foundation that can meet KPIs, operate in a closed loop, and be replicated.

It is reported that Tezign has maintained robust and rapid growth in recent years, achieving record-high growth rates and doubling year-on-year, with annual recurring revenue (ARR) nearing $100 million, serving over 180 enterprises globally, covering more than 50 countries and over a million professional users, validating the maturity and market recognition of the enterprise-level intelligent agent technology route.

Wang Hong, Dean of CEIBS, stated that the core of future enterprise competition is "intelligent efficiency," and achieving a value closed loop with intelligent agent systems is essential for building real competitive barriers. The white paper emphasizes that enterprise AI competition is no longer merely a technical contest, but a comprehensive strength competition involving private data, industry experience, and intelligent agent systems.

Guests from companies such as Anker Innovations, Schneider Electric, Bosch, and Semir shared frontline practical experiences, engaging in in-depth dialogues around AI organizational transformation, scenario implementation, and data governance, providing pragmatic viewpoints and vivid case studies, offering referable paths for enterprise AI transformation.
