On February 26, 2026, the Wuhan Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology officially released the Public Notice on the Recognition Results of the First Batch of Wuhan Artificial Intelligence Application Service Providers, Leading Enterprises and Root Enterprises. WuHan Homsh Technology Co., Ltd. was selected into both the lists of "Artificial Intelligence Application Service Provider" and "Artificial Intelligence Root Enterprise", becoming one of the few enterprises in the city to receive dual recognition. This honor is not only an authoritative recognition of Homsh's more than ten years of deep cultivation in the fields of artificial intelligence and iris recognition, but also marks the company's core position in the construction of Wuhan National Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Application Pilot Zone.
Booming Development of Wuhan's Artificial Intelligence Industry
Top 50: The Pinnacle of Wuhan's AI Industry Pyramid
As a highland for the artificial intelligence industry in central China, Wuhan had gathered 1,326 AI enterprises by the end of 2024, with an industrial scale exceeding 70 billion yuan. Among this large industrial base, only 50 enterprises stood out in this recognition, covering core fields such as smart hardware, low-altitude economy, industrial internet, smart healthcare, humanoid robots, spatial information, and smart transportation. Homsh's ability to secure two positions fully demonstrates the company's dual strength in technical depth and industrial breadth.
This recognition follows a strict review process: multiple rounds of screening including enterprise self-declaration, material verification, expert review, and public announcement, focusing on whether enterprises take AI software, services, or products as their main business, possess independent intellectual property rights, and have a hardware and software development environment matching their AI business. Participating enterprises must also meet rigid conditions such as no records of major safety, quality accidents, or serious environmental violations. Homsh's "dual recognition" speaks volumes about its gold content, having emerged from 1,326 enterprises.
The so-called "Artificial Intelligence Root Enterprise" refers to an enterprise that occupies a core position in the AI industrial chain, holds key core technologies, and can drive the coordinated development of upstream and downstream industries. The "Artificial Intelligence Application Service Provider", on the other hand, emphasizes the transformation of AI technology into practical service capabilities, providing intelligent solutions for all industries. Homsh's receipt of both recognitions means the company is both the "root" of core AI technologies and the "fruit" of technology implementation—forming a complete technical closed loop from underlying algorithms to upper-layer applications.
From Phaselirs™ to OVAI: A Decade of Technical Deep Cultivation
Homsh's qualification for "Root Enterprise" recognition stems from its continuous breakthroughs in the core algorithm of iris recognition. The self-developed Phaselirs™ algorithm adopts an innovative phase analysis method, achieving international leading levels in iris feature extraction and matching speed. In July 2025, the company launched the new OVAI system, introducing AI deep learning capabilities into the field of iris recognition, realizing full-scenario coverage from short-range (within 1 meter) to medium-range (3 meters) and long-range (5-10 meters).

Qianxin Series Chips
FPGA/ASIC dedicated chips, driven by the dual wheels of "algorithm + chip"—one of the few domestic enterprises possessing both capabilities.
Notably, Homsh is one of the few domestic AI enterprises with both core algorithm and dedicated chip capabilities. The self-developed Qianxin series FPGA/ASIC chips solidify complex iris recognition algorithms into dedicated hardware, significantly improving recognition speed and security while reducing reliance on general computing resources. This "algorithm + chip" dual-wheel drive model makes Homsh an irreplaceable "root-level" enterprise in the AI industrial chain.
At the application service level, Homsh's products are widely used in financial collection, customs ports, government certificate issuance, military security, smart home, and other fields. The iris recognition clearance system provided by the company for the China-Laos Railway has become a benchmark case for the construction of smart ports under the "Belt and Road Initiative"; the identity authentication systems deployed for multiple banks handle over one million transactions per day on average; in the smart home sector, Homsh's modules have entered the supply chains of several leading brands, bringing iris recognition from professional scenarios to thousands of households.
Application Scenario of Iris Recognition in Smart Ports
Infrastructure for the AI Era: The Foundation of Trusted Identity Authentication
With the explosive development of large models and generative AI, artificial intelligence is profoundly changing the operation of human society. However, the abuse of AI technology has also brought unprecedented security challenges: the proliferation of deepfake technology has rendered traditional identity verification methods at risk of failure; the disorderly growth of digital identities has made the trust system in cyberspace fragile. In the AI era, we need a reliable, secure, and unforgeable identity authentication infrastructure more than ever.
Iris recognition is the key technology to solve this problem. As one of the most unique biological features of the human body, the iris has natural advantages such as lifelong invariance, difficulty in forgery, and high recognition accuracy. Compared with biometric features such as fingerprints and faces, iris recognition performs better in anti-spoofing and anti-interference. Homsh's OVAI system further integrates traditional iris recognition with artificial intelligence, continuously optimizing recognition algorithms through deep learning models, greatly improving the system's recognition accuracy in complex lighting and dynamic scenarios.

As an "Artificial Intelligence Root Enterprise", Homsh not only provides terminal products but also is committed to building an open technical ecosystem. The company's algorithm licensing business has covered many enterprise clients in the security, finance, and IoT fields, helping partners quickly integrate iris recognition capabilities. As an "Artificial Intelligence Application Service Provider", Homsh provides full lifecycle support from solution design, system integration to operation and maintenance services, ensuring the effective implementation of every project.
A Promising Future: Joining Hands to Build the Cornerstone of Trust in the AI Era
The wave of artificial intelligence is sweeping the globe, and China has shown strong momentum in this round of technological transformation. As a strategic fulcrum for the rise of central China, Wuhan is steadily moving toward the goal of a national artificial intelligence innovation and application pilot zone, backed by 1,326 AI enterprises and a 100-billion-level industrial scale. Homsh's inclusion in the top 50 and receipt of dual recognition is both an honor and a mission.
Three Key Directions for Development
Technological Breakthrough
Continuously iterate the OVAI system and explore cutting-edge directions such as multimodal biometric recognition and edge AI.
Scenario Expansion
Extend iris recognition technology from professional security scenarios to broader fields such as consumer electronics, smart cities, and digital government affairs.
Ecosystem Co-construction
As a "root enterprise", drive the growth of more industrial chain partners and improve Wuhan's AI industrial ecosystem.
Looking ahead, Homsh will continue to uphold the original aspiration of "making identity authentication safer and more convenient" and focus on three directions. In the historical process of AI reshaping the world, trusted identity authentication is an indispensable infrastructure. Homsh is willing to join hands with partners from all walks of life, taking iris recognition as the fulcrum, to leverage a new future of security authentication in the AI era.
