On August 13, 2026, the Chinese Culture Creative Export Hub (Macau) was unveiled at City University of Macau. The hub is the Macau base of LuminaBay, an AI content platform that helps Chinese creators and brands reach audiences overseas. Volckano took part as LuminaBay's strategic technology partner.
What happened in Macau
The seminar's theme was "Rooted in Macau, sharing Chinese culture." It was hosted by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of City University of Macau and China Unicom (Macau). The afternoon had three parts:
- Opening remarks from government, industry and university guests
- The unveiling of LuminaBay's Macau base
- Talks on how AI-made content and AI platforms can help Chinese culture travel abroad
Two cities, one export chain
In its October 4 post, China Unicom said it has opened creative hubs for AI-made content in two cities:
- Macau builds on the city's mix of Chinese and Western culture. It aims to be a digital culture link to Portuguese-speaking countries, a "digital highway" for Chinese culture going abroad.
- Shenzhen launched the LuminaBay digital export platform. It covers the whole chain: AI content creation, compliance review, overseas distribution and local operations.
The two bases are meant to work together across Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau.
Where Volckano fits
Volckano builds applied AI for companies that sell overseas. As LuminaBay's strategic technology partner, our role is engineering: helping the platform stay reliable as it grows. It is the same direction as our own tools, such as Goldrute for finding overseas buyers and AutoReel for turning long videos into short clips.
Content is only one thing that crosses borders. Read why we think factories should also export the systems they run on.
