(Central News Agency reporter Chiang Ming-yen, Taipei, 12th) Hocang Technology, a company invested by Canon, will list on the emerging stock market on the 14th. Hocang Technology stated that over 50% of its products are sold to the US market, and US police cars also adopt Hocang's products. European high-speed rail is currently undergoing testing and certification. Hocang plans to leverage Edge AI and vehicle safety control simultaneously, collaborating with Canon to enter the high-growth smart application markets in Europe and America.
Hocang Technology was established in 2011 by an R&D team deeply rooted in the security control industry. It focuses on providing overall solutions such as AI smart network cameras and surveillance systems, and high-end vehicle safety control equipment. Its products are applied in vertical market segments such as smart cities, smart transportation, smart buildings, and industrial safety, transforming video information from passive safety to high-value smart assets for active protection through AI applications.
Hocang Technology stated that it has also delivered results in recent years. Its earnings per share (EPS) were NT$5.77 in 2024; due to changes in US tariff policies, EPS was only NT$1.37 in 2025; however, it returned to a profit growth trajectory in the first quarter of 2026, with EPS at NT$1.1, already reaching 80% of last year's full-year performance. Full-year operations are expected to grow compared to last year.
Under the global AIoT trend, Edge AI has become a crucial key to AI implementation and the core of the smart imaging industry. Hocang Technology stated that it has strategically partnered with Taiwan optical manufacturer Canon Inc. to develop an Edge AI network camera system that leverages their respective strengths. This system features front-end real-time smart detection capabilities and can provide VLM (Visual Language Model) computing data, effectively reducing cloud computing and transmission costs.
At the same time, benefiting from the US "National Defense Authorization Act" (NDAA) regulations, over 50% of Hocang Technology's products are sold to the US market, and even US police cars adopt Hocang Technology's products. European high-speed rail is also undergoing testing and certification.
In addition, Hocang Technology will participate in a smart city construction project this year, collaborating with Linker Vision, Canon Inc., and US Nvidia, due to its strategic partnership with Canon Inc. Hocang Technology will be responsible for integrating system application solutions for Edge AI imaging equipment.
Chairman Chou Heng-te of Hocang Technology stated that the company has deep roots in security control systems, strong software and hardware integration capabilities, and a high proportion of R&D staff (40% to 50%). It has also entered the international security control supply chain. In the future, it will continue to expand into new markets such as North America, Japan, and Europe, and expand cooperation with international enterprises. (Editor: Huang Kuo-lun) 1150512
