The 4th World Internet Conference (WIC) recognized a batch of the world's leading scientific and technological internet achievements on Dec 3.

Eighteen companies received awards during the ceremony.

China's leading bicycle-sharing service provider, Mobike Technology, was one of the companies given an award for its dockless bike-share system. Mobike built the world's first large mobile Internet of Things (IoT) platform, combining IoT, cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence (AI).

As of October 2017, Mobike had entered more than 180 cities in nine countries, with more than seven million smart bicycles and 200 million global users, who complete 30 million trips per day.

"There is no boundary for technological innovation and sharing. No matter in small villages or in big cities, like Washington DC, a user can unlock a bike for a ride easily with an app. We would like to provide such services to one to two billion people worldwide," said Davis Wang, Mobike's co-founder and CEO.

Microsoft's Xiaoice, an emotion computer-based AI product, also was presented at the event. It was invented in China and has been promoted in five countries.

Xiaoice has played various social roles by taking different "jobs", such as a TV host, radio host, news commentator and column writer. It published a poetry collection in May this year.
