In the TMT field, Hong An Xin Chen aims to build a service model of "dual-driven digital ecosystem compliance governance and business innovation". Focusing on next-generation technology trends such as Web3.0, 6G communications, quantum computing, and space internet, the team provides end-to-end support—from technology R&D and product commercialization to global compliance—for emerging entities including metaverse platforms, satellite communication operators, AIGC developers, and edge computing service providers. Collaborating deeply with the Cyberspace Administration of China, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and global data governance bodies, the team's services cover cutting-edge areas such as large model training data compliance, international spectrum application for satellite communication, legal risk prevention for digital twin cities, ethical review of deep synthesis technologies (e.g., Deepfake), governance structure design for decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO), cross-border cloud service data sovereignty agreements, computing power transaction compliance frameworks, and brain-computer interface data privacy protection. The team has developed unique solutions for complex challenges like global tech sanctions, digital service tax (DST) disputes, and cross-border IP hijacking.

Composed of cross-disciplinary experts spanning technology, law, and policy research, the Hong An Xin Chen TMT team includes former chief legal representatives of international standards organizations, data governance officers of multinational tech companies, and authoritative scholars in digital sovereignty. Its service network covers global innovation hubs such as Silicon Valley, Singapore, and the EU. With profound insights into digital technology commercialization and the ability to predict geopolitical risks, the team has been named a "Game Changer" in TMT by The Legal 500 Asia-Pacific and "Team of the Year" in digital assets by IFLR1000, and has deeply participated in legislative consultations such as China's Generative Artificial Intelligence Service Management Measures.
