FiFish, Setting the Trend of Popularizing Underwater ROV

Since the very beginning, mankind has never stopped exploring the Earth because our passion and curiosity for our homeland. On the other hand, exploring the ocean has a very meaningful purpose since the ocean fills an important role in environmental and climate change issues, the origin of life, earthquake prediction, breathtaking underwater recreation, and the list goes on and on.

Nowadays, there are countless drones that can fly in the sky, and yet only few can go under the water.

71% of the earth is covered by ocean but only less than 5% of it has been explored. So far 12 people have walked on the moon; around 500 people have visited outer space, but there are only 3 people who have been to the deepest ocean in the Mariana Trench. The underwater world is still mysterious and it is time for us to rediscover the ocean, said Chong Zhang, the founder and CEO of Qiyuan Technology.

In July of 2015, the team started the consumer underwater drone project, with the determination of reshaping the traditional ROV industry and to bring a passion for exploring the ocean. And that is the origin of todays Qiyuan Technology and the FiFish.

Mastering the Core Technology, Leading the New Trend of ROV Field

Fifish is the first attempt to bring military and industrial underwater drone into the consumer market; it is also the inspiration for people to explore the mysterious underwater world. It created a new market demand. Fifish has at least one year advance in progress compare to other products in the same field due to the developers anticipation and judgment for market.

We are convinced that we can bring meaningful revolution for the world and put its application into widely uses.

Reports show that by the year of 2020, Chinas unmanned submersible market will reach a total of 80 billion RMB every year, and 30 billion RMB for the military unmanned submersible market. And in civilian unmanned submersible usage, there will be 43 billion for B2B market, with about 6 billion RMB for research and rescue, 13.7 billion for security monitoring , and up to 370 million for research. For personal diving companion unmanned submersible, there is also going to be 6 billion.
