The rapid adoption of AI technology in China, especially in areas like mobile, XR, and industrial machine vision, presents opportunities for Prophesee to showcase its innovative solutions. However, each of these markets has its own dynamics and key players in China.
With numerous companies vying for media coverage at tradeshows, it is difficult for a tech company to stand out from all the other big names and capture the attention of media without any product launch or announcements to make. Additionally, tradeshows like MWC or Vision China, the two events attended by Prophesee over the summer 2024, often feature multiple events, presentations, and activities happening simultaneously, making it challenging to schedule media visits and interviews around conflicting engagements.
To assist Prophesee to enhance its visibility at different tradeshows and promote its cutting-edge event-based vision sensing technology in front of the press, Influence Matters team planned and organized timely media tours with different market story angles and arranged 1:1 media interview onsite, where the media representatives can experience Prophesee’s innovative product demos and technology firsthand and engage face-to-face with Prophesee’s CEO and China sales head.
To broaden Prophesee’s media reach and amplify its technological impact across varied market sectors, Influence Matters localized global press releases and crafted customized byline articles to align messages with local audiences. These materials were strategically distributed to targeted media outlets for maximum exposure.
Additionally, leveraging Prophesee’s official WeChat account, the team curated and shared compelling social content to foster deeper engagement with the Chinese audience before, during, and after the tradeshows, ensuring a sustained and impactful presence beyond the event floors.
157 clippings were generated from media tours, press releases, and byline articles, including 23 homepage placements on media websites, putting Prophesee and its notable technology and innovation in the spotlight of target industries in China. A significant 8% increase in WeChat followers in three months.

Zipeng Wu, Journalist, Elecfans:
The emergence of EVS cameras addresses the pain points of traditional cameras and establishes a new paradigm for machine vision by mimicking the mechanism of the human eye. EVS cameras can continuously capture dynamic information, naturally possess low power consumption characteristics, and with very small data transmission volumes, significantly reduce the hardware barriers for machine vision, allowing more applications to benefit from this advanced technology.
Qin Du, Journalist, SemiInsights:
Prophesee’s innovative technology has opened up new pathways for the development of machine vision. With the help of these sensors, machine vision becomes more intelligent, autonomous, fast, and secure. The new generation of computer vision technology has significantly improved in terms of speed, performance, efficiency, and safety. It is believed that in the near future, this revolutionary sensor technology will undergo a qualitative leap, bringing more opportunities for societal development.
In addition, Ms Qin Du also shared on her WeChat Moment of the demo tour:
Prophesee is a unique company that specializes in “event-based” sensors, which mimic the functioning of the human brain. Compared to traditional image-based sensors, these sensors consume significantly lower power.
There are numerous potential and meaningful application directions for Prophesee’s technology in various areas such as mobile phones, PCs, embedded systems, smart homes, and industrial settings.
After a decade of accumulation, their sensors are poised to make a qualitative leap in the next two years, transitioning from a focus on quality to a focus on quantity.
