Strategic Alliance: Complementary Strengths Build Complete Ecosystem
Nextlink Technology, a leading cloud solution provider in Taiwan, brings deep expertise in cloud infrastructure, cloud management platforms, and Data & AI Application Services. With strong market presence throughout Taiwan and Asia, Nextlink delivers highly reliable and high-performance cloud infrastructure combined with localized professional services, creating tailored cloud solutions for enterprise clients across Southeast Asia and Hong Kong to ensure the successful implementation of AI transformations..
Canner specializes in data virtualization and GenBI technology. Its flagship product, Wren AI, seamlessly integrates natural language processing with data analytics, enabling non-technical teams across business, marketing, and operations to easily query and analyze enterprise data. This significantly lowers barriers to data analysis, promotes enterprise data self-service, and accelerates business decision-making processes. Through its next-generation “Agentic BI” paradigm, Wren AI aims to break the constraints of traditional architectures that require centralizing data into a single system. With Agentic BI, enterprises no longer need to migrate all data and bear the high costs of data pipelines and ongoing maintenance. Instead, enterprises define their data semantics once, and Wren AI can query and analyze across data sources in real-time accelerating access to insights and enabling faster, more informed decision-making.
In 2025, Wren AI platform achieved remarkable market recognition: on GitHub, the leading open-source platform in the global developer community, the number of Stars, a symbol of attention and endorsement, surged from 3,000 at the beginning of the year to over 13,000. The global developer community grew to more than 1,600 members, and cloud users surpassed 10,000. Notably, multiple large enterprises have successfully moved Wren AI into production workloads, making it the core foundation for data-driven decision-making. These impressive achievements not only demonstrate the strong market demand for GenBI technology, but also establish Wren AI’s leadership position in the global GenBI landscape.
This strategic partnership combines Nextlink’s robust infrastructure capabilities and regional market advantages with Canner’s innovative technology and application expertise. Together, they will deliver comprehensive cloud and data intelligence solutions designed for mid-market and enterprise clients throughout Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia, offering industry-specific cloud services with next-generation business intelligence applications.
Shasta Ho, CEO of Nextlink Technology, stated, “We are honored to establish this strategic partnership with Canner. As demand for digitalization and intelligent automation grows across Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia, our complementary technological strengths and market resources will enable us to deliver transformative data and AI solutions. This partnership helps our enterprise clients gain competitive advantages and achieve sustainable growth in dynamic markets.”
Howard Chi, Chairman of Canner, remarked, “We firmly believe that data intelligence is the critical success factor for modern business. Our collaboration with Nextlink enables us to drive data-driven transformation and innovation for enterprises across the high-growth Southeast Asian and Hong Kong markets. We look forward to pioneering a new era in generative business intelligence adoption.”
