On April 17, the finals of the 2nd New Quality Productive Forces Entrepreneurship Incubation Competition of Yunnan Dianzhong New Area, along with the launch ceremony for the 3rd competition, were held at Yunnan Linkong High-Tech Industrial Park. Following project roadshows, live Q&A sessions, and expert review, Cloud Surfing’s Digital Entertainment Cross-Border Intelligent Operations Solution won first prize.

This year’s competition focused on new quality productive forces and attracted 146 project submissions across strategic emerging industries, including intelligent manufacturing, biomedicine, new energy, new materials, the digital economy, and green low-carbon development. After preliminary and semi-final rounds, 10 outstanding projects advanced to the finals, where they presented their core technologies, business models, market prospects, and implementation plans.

At the finals, a professional judging panel made up of industry experts, representatives from investment institutions, and technical leaders evaluated the projects based on technological innovation, industrial implementation, market growth potential, and social value. The judges also offered guidance on key issues such as technical barriers, market expansion, financing plans, and risk management. Cloud Surfing earned recognition for its systematic approach to AI content production, digital entertainment globalization, multilingual adaptation, and cross-border intelligent operations.

Cloud Surfing’s Digital Entertainment Cross-Border Intelligent Operations Solution is built for the growing global demand for short-form drama content. It brings together capabilities across content production, asset management, localization, overseas distribution, and commercial operations. By using AI to improve digital content production efficiency and cross-border operations to expand overseas content services, the project helps short-form dramas and other digital entertainment products move from traditional production workflows toward more intelligent, industrialized, and globalized operations.

On the production side, Cloud Surfing’s AI short-form drama creation platform, Ark Studio, focuses on AIGC video creation and industrialized short-form drama production. It integrates script analysis, character, scene and prop generation, storyboard breakdown, storyboard image generation, storyboard video generation, and video composition into a unified creative workflow. With team asset libraries, collaboration spaces, and generation resource management, Ark Studio helps creators and content teams standardize production, reduce repetitive work, and improve collaboration efficiency.

On the overseas content service side, Cloud Surfing has developed Ark Wave Pick and Ark Wave Buzz, two TikTok short-form drama mini programs that support membership-based unlocking and ad-supported unlocking, respectively. With Malaysia as its regional operations hub, the platform draws on Southeast Asia’s multilingual, multicultural, and cross-regional advantages to provide short-form drama content services to global users. It supports localization in Chinese, English, Thai, Spanish, and other languages, serving markets across Southeast Asia, Europe, North America, Latin America, and beyond.

As short-form drama content continues to grow worldwide, the digital entertainment industry is evolving from standalone content production toward an integrated model that combines intelligent market analysis, AI production tools, multilingual localization, and cross-border distribution operations. Cloud Surfing’s award highlights the role of AI in cultural globalization, industrialized short-form drama production, and global digital content operations. It also demonstrates the industrial potential of digital economy projects in the development of new quality productive forces.

As a national-level new area, Dianzhong New Area has continued to pursue an innovation-driven development strategy in recent years, with the goal of becoming a provincial model for new quality productive forces. It has been building innovation and entrepreneurship platforms while cultivating new business entities. The New Quality Productive Forces Entrepreneurship Incubation Competition has become an important platform for the New Area to bring together innovation resources and accelerate project transformation, providing opportunities for display, exchange, and resource matching to further integrate technological and industrial innovation.

Taking this award as a new starting point, Cloud Surfing will continue to advance its products and business across AI content production, digital entertainment globalization, and cross-border intelligent operations. The company will further strengthen its product matrix of Ark Radar, Ark Studio, and Ark Wave, explore new paths for global digital content services, and contribute more practical innovation to the development of the digital economy and cultural globalization.
