Over the past few months, the Ministry of Education and other ministries have successively followed up on the construction of "new infrastructure for education" and the "double reduction" policy, among which, in the relevant documents of "New Infrastructure for Smart Campus", it is emphasized that it is necessary to "build a monitoring system for food and beverage hygiene in schools." strengthen food supply chain management and kitchen environment management, establish health files for teachers and students, and support the construction of a healthy campus. Making the canteen wise must be a particularly important part of the "new infrastructure for education".

Thanks to years of accumulation of smart space business and judgment on the development of the industry, it can be said that the smart canteen project launched by Sinopec at the beginning of the year was born at the right time. In the company, combined with the relevant policy guidance, based on the long-term practice in the field of building space intelligence, through the cloud SaaS platform service with artificial intelligence, big data, AI face recognition technology and other technologies, the school meal industry is fully enabled, which not only realizes the convenient functions of online payment, reservation, facial scanning and other functions of school meals. What's more, it solves the problems of full-process campus catering service management in the direction of home-school interconnection, bright kitchen, food saving, food safety, canteen management, nutrition data analysis, business data analysis and so on. At the same time, the company also focuses on the nutrition science of K12 middle / primary school-age children, and conducts in-depth research with the leading scientific research institutions in China.

By means of full-process informatization, the wisdom canteen business of Sinopec assists local education bureaus and other regulatory departments to efficiently supervise the data of the whole catering chain of campus canteens, and enhance the "digital" collaborative experience of regulatory departments, financial institutions, schools, canteens, catering enterprises, parents and students, so as to solve the "pain points" of all parties and achieve win-win results. And gradually extend from the campus group meal consumption scene to the B2B2F family consumption scene.

Up to now, the system has been established in Shanxi Province, Jilin Province, Hainan Province, Chongqing and other provinces and cities, and has established in-depth cooperation with branches of large and medium-sized state-owned banks, including China Construction Bank Corporation, Bank of China Ltd., Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Agricultural Bank Of China and China Merchants Bank. Geng Kaitian, founder and chairman of photosynthetic Plus, revealed that since its inception, the Smart Campus project has received seed round financing from predecessors in the domestic well-known design field and millions of angel round financing from a well-known emerging industry M & An investment fund, and is currently being split from the group business to formally carry out the financing promotion of the PRE-A round.

In the future, the Group will respond positively to the policy of the country's new education infrastructure. At present, the photosynthetic plus Group is promoting the design and development of smart space, and at the same time, the layout acquires high-quality design resources with regional influence. Geng Kaitian further explained: "take the intelligent space construction in primary and secondary schools and the integrated solution of the whole scene intelligent education system as the main battlefield for the photosynthetic plus Group to focus on the development of the new infrastructure field of education."

As a continuous entrepreneur in the Internet field, he did not put the company headquarters in a first-tier city this time. On the contrary, he put the project headquarters in Changchun, Jilin Province in the northeast, not only his feelings for the place where he grew up. What's more, it is a kind of feeling that the country calls on young people to return to their hometown to start a business and contribute to the construction of their hometown.

Taking the digital transformation of the "smart canteen" as the starting point, Sinopec will cooperate with more schools, banks and catering enterprises to provide children with scientific, nutritious and healthy school meal services. and gradually go deep into the policy consultation, program planning and landing construction of the "new educational infrastructure" in primary and secondary schools, and will gradually participate in the quality education business of primary and secondary school groups, such as psychological counseling, extracurricular sports, extracurricular labor and so on.
