Li Ruigang, president of CMC said: "Technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, will become the cornerstones of the technical gene of sports data, which is itself one of the core drivers of business development. In the sports industry, data is the core element, functioning as the 'connector' of the whole business. Cubee Technology, as China's leading sports data service, has accumulated powerful technologies and has already conducted deep research and exploration in this business. I see Cubee as having the potential to become the 'data connector' in this rapidly growing sports industry.

"CMC has made a strategic plan for the whole sports industry in recent years. CMC attaches great importance to online enterprise, and we have paid a lot of attention to the developments of technology in the online sports industry. We hope our co-operation with Cubee Technology will 'connect' CMC with the sports industry and further accelerate this industry's progress in the internet age. "

Since 2015, CMC has helped the burgeoning growth of the sports data industry. CMC have used their financing to assist in match copyright development, content production, media operation, match and activities management, stadium management, athlete agency, sports marketing, and data services -- an impressive repertoire which covers the whole of the industry chain. It is therefore no exaggeration to call CMC one of the leaders in its field.

For CMC, Cubee is the final piece in the puzzle. Their portfolio covers all areas of the sports industry and integrates the platform, service and technology.

Cubee will also collaborate with Ti'ao Dongli, City Football Group (who own Manchester City), and SECA, as well as other partners under the umbrella of CMC. This increased level of co-operation between various levels and sectors in the sports data industry will be beneficial for all parties.

Chen Hao, founder and CEO of Cubee Technology, described CMC as the top investor in the sports industry and was excited about receiving their support as his company develops. He outlined his vision of a "multiple application" strategy for Cubee -- developing new applications and products, as well as continuing rapid growth in their sports data operations. He hopes to bring the company's unique skills in quantitative data analysis and sports entertainment to both the domestic and international markets.

He added: "The data sports "multiple application" put forward by Cubee, mainly emphasizes that sports big data cannot just stop at the 1.0 stage, which is merely calculating data and displaying it. We need to explore the value of "application" so that the data sports can realize its full potential through productization and commercialization, and by providing innovative value-adding services."

Finally, Cubee used this conference to introduce their flagship new product CubeGoal. CubeGoal is a described as a "pre-match decision-making platform" -- it assists its users in predicting the outcome of football matches. It is a sophisticated piece of technology based on an innovative artificial intelligence simulation system.

CubeGoal includes the newly-created game Fantasy Football Manager, which is described as the world's first real-time football tactics game. What makes Fantasy Football Manager unique is its connection to real, live football matches. It is a strategy game which takes place in real time.

The world's first sports data cloud service, CubeeCloud, was also announced.

The priorities for Cubee Technology in its data and entertainment coverage are still the Premier League, Chinese Super League, and Chinese National Team. Key for them is the acquisition of new copyright sources to help their sports data development. They see data analysis and sports entertainment as the two pillars of their company and will aim to improve in both areas in the coming months and years.
