🚀 Congratulations to our portfolio company Geek+ — the inaugural class of NextGen Tech 30 — on its successful listing on the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) as the world’s first AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) IPO! At Granite Asia, we’ve long believed that automation often happens in the places the world isn’t paying attention to — warehouses, logistics hubs, and factory floors where intelligent systems quietly power global trade and commerce. That belief led us, six years ago, to invest in Geek+. As our Principal, Yinghui Kuang, shared, “Geek+ demonstrated remarkable product strength early on, and the team was already making inroads with overseas clients — a journey we were proud to accelerate through our global network.” From an early bet to a global category leader — we’re proud to have been part of this journey. Here’s to the next chapter of growth. 🚀 #GraniteAsia #GeekPlus #NextGenTech30 #AMR #IPO #HKEX #Robotics #Automation #WarehouseTech #PortfolioMilestone
