Candy Technology

Biodata

Background / History

Candy Technology was initially known for internet-sector work, particularly its algorithms. Its encryption algorithm had never been cracked, establishing the company as a top-tier algorithm developer before its later expansion into other fields. 205

The company rapidly diversified from software into medicine, robotics, industrial software, aerospace, advanced materials, and spaceflight. Its repeated entry into unrelated industries earned it a reputation as a “cross-industry troublemaker” among entrepreneurs and competitors. 311 807 999

Its name originates from “Candy,” the nickname of Mo Xiaoxue, Mo Jingchun’s sister. 1117
