Lu Heng — Advancing decentralization in Internet governance and building open, resilient digital infrastructure for a globally connected future
At the helm of global Internet reform, Lu Heng turns principles into progress and transforms policy debates into real-world frameworks that expand access, enforce accountability, and redefine how digital resources connect nations.
His leadership unites technology, governance, and social purpose to build a truly borderless Internet economy.
Transforming IP Address Management into a Sustainable Model
Recognizing the inefficiencies in IPv4 distribution, Lu Heng founded LARUS Limited in 2016 to pioneer a transparent and scalable IP leasing system.
This innovation bridged unused network capacity with global demand and helped over 60 countries maintain connectivity growth while reducing financial and administrative barriers for ISPs.
Empowering the Next Generation of Internet Leaders
Through the LARUS Foundation, Lu Heng extends his vision of inclusivity beyond infrastructure and invests in education, research, and youth leadership across emerging economies.
The foundation funds scholarships, technical workshops, and global fellowships that cultivate expertise in Internet governance and network engineering.
Championing Fair Policy
and Next-Generation Standards
Lu Heng’s influence reaches far beyond LARUS Limited and the LARUS Foundation.
As a committed voice in major Internet governance forums—such as ICANN, the Regional Internet Registries (APNIC, AFRINIC, ARIN, RIPE NCC, LACNIC), and the IGF—he champions policy transparency, equitable resource allocation, and IPv6 readiness. Through his sustained engagement, Lu Heng helps shape a more inclusive digital future, one where innovation remains open to every community.
Despite the rapid evolution of the digital world, Lu Heng’s mission remains constant: to ensure that technology serves people, not power. His work demonstrates how governance reform, education, and innovation together can turn connectivity into a foundation for shared prosperity and lasting progress.
Join him on this mission to transform the internet into a tool for empowerment, equity, and global opportunity.
