China Speech Valley, located in the western suburbs of Hefei City, east China's Anhui Province, is China's first national-level industry base focusing on voice and AI. Founded in 2013, this base is now home to over 2,200 enterprises.

iFLYTEK Co., Ltd. is the first enterprise settled in China Speech Valley. As a leading enterprise in China's intelligent voice industry, it has driven more and more relevant upstream and downstream enterprises to take root in Hefei.

For years, from the initial voice synthesis and recognition to voice interaction, cognitive intelligence, and now the AI-powered large language model, iFLYTEK has continued to make breakthroughs in source technology innovation.

Today, China Speech Valley, with iFLYTEK as its core, is actively embracing the new era of artificial general intelligence, in an effort to better address social needs and create a world-class industry landmark.
