InfleXion Lab became established just last year on July 10^th, 2018. The lab focuses on artificial intelligence, big data, robotics, and blockchain technology. The company partners with Shine Works and ParticleX to promote the industrialization of related scientific research results. Also, they work to accelerate the global innovation undertaking in the Greater Bay area of Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao.

InfleXion Lab has carried out five research projects since becoming established. Four research projects were with the cooperation of start-ups in addition to a generalized research project.

There were many leaders of InfleXion Lab, ParticleX, and more at the first project exchange meeting. Many representatives from investment companies and start-ups attended the meeting as well.
