BEIJING, Sept. 30, 2024 — 36Kr Holdings Inc. (“36Kr” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: KRKR), a leading brand and platform serving New Economy participants in China, has announced the launch of 36Kr European Central Station (). The Company is actively seeking business partners in Europe to support its global expansion. 36Kr Europe currently focuses on news coverage of startups from the 36Kr ecosystem and original content like “A Kr-uarter Past Eight,” providing overseas stakeholders with timely and comprehensive information on Chinese business. This initiative allows 36Kr Europe users to access information simultaneously with those in China, increasing the visibility and influence of Chinese companies in the European market.

For years, 36Kr has been committed to covering, serving, and empowering New Economy participants in China, connecting resources for corporate clients and ecosystem partners. The Company’s international presence has been growing steadily, with established operations in Japan (36Kr Japan) and Southeast Asia (Kr Asia). Building on the efforts of its overseas teams, 36Kr has built strong relationships with foreign governments, industry leaders, startups, and capital ecosystems, accumulating extensive experience in facilitating global business expansion. 36Kr has consistently provided media services and marketing support to Chinese companies abroad, while its international teams assist foreign institutions and enterprises in accessing business opportunities in China. Moving forward, 36Kr will continue to expand and integrate cooperative resources, fostering synergy within a broader global ecosystem to better serve businesses and governments in their international ventures, while consistently boosting 36Kr’s worldwide impact and driving revenue growth.

36Kr European Central Station leverages AIGC technology to empower its content ecosystem, significantly improving productivity while reducing content creation costs. It currently supports browsing in English, German, and Chinese, with plans to add more languages and country-specific channels. For example, in image generation, AIGC’s text-to-image functionality can drastically reduce imaging costs by hundreds of times. For text translation, AIGC’s large language models and computing power will greatly enhance the efficiency of text translation, transcreation, and copywriting across multiple languages. Additionally, in information and data collation, we have witnessed AIGC’s ability to effectively generate first drafts, minimizing both labor costs and editing input.

Mr. Dagang Feng, Chief Executive Officer of 36Kr, commented, “As global expansion becomes an irreversible trend, we will continue to intensify our international efforts to expand our reach in overseas markets, leveraging AI applications to deliver more efficient and cost-effective information dissemination. With the ongoing expansion of our international network, we are well-positioned to offer governments and businesses a more comprehensive suite of products and services for global expansion, accelerating business growth with enhanced quality.”
