Tuya Smart announces Global Brand Empowering Project at IFA 2018

August 29, 2018. Tuya Smart, the world’s leading AIoT (AI+IoT) platform, today announced at IFA 2018 in Berlin its Global Brand Empowering Project. With the aim of bringing internet connectivity to mainstream B2C brands that would otherwise not have the technological know-how to transform their products into smarthome compatible devices, Tuya Smart is continuing its mission to help more than 100,000 enterprises make their services and products smarter across the globe.

Speaking of the award, Alex Yang said: “Tuya Smart is honoured to have been awarded this prestigious prize at Europe’s biggest tech tradeshow. We firmly believe in our ambition to revolutionize the smart home market through our AI+IoT solutions, so it is very encouraging to be recognized by IFA and the International Data Group, who we thank enormously.”

$200m C round funding

Last month Tuya Smart announced that it closed almost $200 million in C round funding with Australia's sovereign wealth fund Future Fund, NEA, CICC Silicon Valley Fund, China Broadband Capital, Quadrille Capital, C.M.Capital and other financial institutions. It is an uncommonly large amount of fundraising for the global IoT industry that Tuya Smart will continue to use to develop technological innovations in AI+IoT and create new IoT consumer-related scenarios.
