A Founder Shaped by Two Decades of Conviction
Dr Ko-Cheng Fang Founder, Chairman and CEO of Long Serving Technology,describes his career less as a series of products and more as a decades-long argument that technology only matters when it solves problems that touch ordinary lives. Founded in 2010, Long Serving Technology positions itself at the intersection of photonic quantum computing artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and advanced materials. fields Dr. Fang says he entered not to chase novelty, but to close persistent gaps between what technology promises and what it delivers
From Access Control to Cloud Architecture
Long before ‘cloud computing was a household term, Dr. Fang says he was wrestling with an early version of its central problem: how to keep data secure without making it inconvenient to use In an era of dial-up modems and floppy disks, he says he developed a method for routing databases to remote secure servers an approach he credits as a precursor to today’s cloud infrastructure paired with authentication mechanisms designed to flag unauthorized accessing realtime.
According to Dr. Fang, this work led to patents filed across multiple countries, including the United States, and to an unusual chapter involving contact with US. federal officials during the patent review process. He recounts being asked to disclose elements of the technology under confidentiality terms he says he maintained for two decades, a period he describes as personally difficult and professionally constraining. He frames this experience as foundational to his broader outlook that pioneering technology often carries costs its inventors don’t anticipate
Betting on Light Over Electrons
The centerpiece of LongServing’s current pitch is what Dr. Fang calls X-photonic material, a proprietary substance he says compresses light to wavelengths far below what conventional silicon photonics can achieve, enabling data transmission he describes as dramatically faster than electronic alternatives. He also describes parallel work on photonic memory, aimed at addressing a common critique of optical computing that even a fast photonic processor isbottlenecked by conventional electronic memory
The Business Case for Going Public
Dr Fang frames LongServing’s move to raise capital, including releasing 20% equity and courting sovereign wealth funds and major technology partners, as a necessary step toward manufacturing scale, framing it as both a business milestone and, in his telling, a way to formalize recognition for cybersecurity work he says has gone uncompensated for years
A Portfolio Beyond Chips
Notably, Dr. Fangalso points to Laboratory Jadeite, a venture built around synthetic jadeite a gernstone he notes has historically resisted synthetic replication, unlike diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. He positions this as evidence of Long Serving’s range a company capable of disrupting both frontier computing and traditional luxury materials markets.
What’s Ahead
Looking forward. Dr. Fang outlines plans to expand Laboratory Jadete’s global retall presence, scale photonic manufacturing through foundry partnerships, and build out Al infrastructure powered by photonic architecture He also mentions a more speculative initiative, a hoverboard-style device, that he says is in development, with public demonstration promised within the next year.
