Current report

During 2026, the Company changed its name to All In FutureTech Alliance, Inc. and began pursuing a strategic transformation toward a future-technology platform built around two principal areas: an AI infrastructure network supported by optical communications and digital infrastructure, and an AI application-services matrix.

As part of this strategy, the Company has entered into agreements and initiated additional arrangements relating to a proposed controlling investment in HyalRoute Communication Group Limited and has announced planning activities for AI compute and digital-infrastructure projects in Hainan.
