(the " SEC ") set forth in the Staff's comment letter to Sumitaka Yamamoto, Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
dated August 8, 2025. We trust you shall deem the contents of this letter responsive to your comment letter.

 Response:
 In response to the foregoing comment, the Company has revised the disclosure in Amendment No. 1 to disclose how the selling stockholder's

 Agreement that serves as a floor to the purchase price.

 3.
 Comment :
 Please disclose that you may not have access to the full $25 million amount available under the Equity Purchase Agreement. To
 provide context, disclose the amount of net proceeds you would receive under the Equity Purchase Agreement if you issued to the Selling
 Stockholder all 54,230,876 shares being registered based upon the most recent trading price of your shares, the discounted purchase
 price to be paid by the Selling Stockholder, and taking into account the cash fee you will pay to the placement agent that will be
 8% of the amount of each advance notice. Also disclose the total number of shares you would have to issue to obtain the $25 million
 maximum amount under the Equity Purchase Agreement based upon your most recent share price, discounted purchase price and placement
 agent fee.

 Response:
 In response to the foregoing comment, the Company has revised the disclosure in Amendment No. 1 to disclose (i) that the Company
 may not have access to the full $25 million amount available under the Equity Purchase Agreement, (ii) the amount of net proceeds
 the Company would receive under the Equity Purchase Agreement if the Company issued to the Selling Stockholder all 20,833,333
 shares being registered based upon the most recent trading price of the Company's shares, the discounted purchase price to
 be paid by the Selling Stockholder, and taking into account the cash fee the Company will pay to the placement agent that will be
 8% of the amount of each advance notice and (iii) the total number of shares the Company would have to issue to obtain the $25 million
 maximum amount under the Equity Purchase Agreement based upon the Company's most recent share price, discounted purchase price
 and placement agent fee.

 Plan

 4.
 Comment :
 We note that you have engaged Moody Capital Solutions, Inc. to act as a placement agent in connection with the Equity Purchase
 Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement and will pay it cash fees and warrants, including a cash fee of 8% of the amount of each
 advance notice under the Equity Purchase Agreement and warrants to purchase shares equal to 8% of the fully diluted number of shares
 of common stock or common stock equivalents purchased or purchasable by any investors in connection with the Equity Purchase Agreement
 and Securities Purchase Agreement. Please file the placement agent agreement as an exhibit.

 Response:
 In response to the foregoing comment, the Company has filed the placement agent agreement as Exhibit 10.61 to Amendment No. 1.

 5.
 Comment :
 You indicate that the Selling Stockholder has agreed not to engage in any short sales or hedging transactions during the term
 of the Equity Purchase Agreement. Also disclose whether the placement agent will engage in any short sales or hedging transactions.

 Response:
 In response to the foregoing comment, the Company has revised the disclosure in Amendment No. 1 to disclose that unlike the Selling
 Stockholder, Moody Capital has not agreed to not engage in any short sales or hedging transactions during the term of the Equity
 Purchase Agreement. However, Moody Capital has advised the Company that it does not intend to engage in any short
 sales or hedging transactions.

 If
the Staff has any further comments regarding Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement on Form S-1, or any subsequent
amendments to the Company's registration statement on Form S-1, please feel free to contact the undersigned.

    No. 333-261984

Dear
Sir or Madam:

We
have electronically filed herewith on behalf of HeartCore Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment
No. 1”) to the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-1. Amendment No. 1 is marked to show changes made from the
previous filing made on January 3, 2022 (the “Prior Filing”). We have included a narrative response herein keyed to
the comments of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) set forth in the Staff’s comment letter to Sumitaka Yamamoto, Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
dated January 20, 2022. We trust you shall deem the contents of this letter responsive to your comment letter.

Statement on Form S-1

Prospectus
Summary, page 1

    1.
    Comment:
    We note your response to our prior comment 3. Given that your auditor is relying upon support offices in the People’s Republic
    of China, disclose in the summary and in a risk factor that trading in your securities may be prohibited under the Holding Foreign
    Companies Accountable Act if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or fully investigate your auditor, and that as a result
    an exchange may determine to delist your securities. Also, disclose that the United States Senate passed the Accelerating Holding
    Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which, if enacted, would decrease the number of non-inspection years from three years to two,
    thus reducing the time period before your securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted.

    Response:
    In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the Amendment No. 1 to disclose in the summary and in a risk
    factor that (i) trading in the Company’s securities may be prohibited under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act if
    the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or fully investigate the Company’s auditor, and that as a result an exchange may
    determine to delist the Company’s securities and (ii) the United States Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies
    Accountable Act, which, if enacted, would decrease the number of non-inspection years from three years to two, thus reducing the
    time period before the Company’s securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted.

    Comment:
    We note the additional disclosure in response to prior comment 7. Please disclose your most recent net retention rate as of September
    30, 2021. Also, please tell us whether the net retention rate was 52% and 75% as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, per
    your disclosures on page 8 and 93 or as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively, as noted from your disclosures on pages 18 and
    106, and correct the discrepancies in your disclosures accordingly. In addition, revise your discussion to address the underlying
    factors contributing to the changes in net retention rate between the periods. Discuss and analyze whether these factors represent
    any known material trends or uncertainties. Address how former paying customers now utilizing the free version of your CXM Platform
    has impacted, or is expected to impact, your net retention rate. Finally, please address the difference between the net retention
    rate disclosed here and the retention rates disclosed in your discussion of the changes in revenue from maintenance and support services
    on page 66 and 71.

    Response:
    In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised page 64 of Amendment No. 1 to (i) disclose our most recent
    net retention rates of 49% and 95% for our customers in our RPA business unit and CMS business unit, respectively,
    as of September 30, 2021, (ii) disclose that our net retention rates for our customers of our RPA business unit were 52% and 75%
    as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, (iii) address the underlying factors contributing to the changes in net retention
    rate between the periods and discuss whether these factors represent any known material trends or uncertainties, (iv) discuss how
    former paying customers now utilizing the free version of our CXM Platform impacted, or is expected to impact, our net retention
    rate, and (v) address the difference between the net retention rate disclosed here and the retention rates disclosed in our
    discussion of the changes in revenue from maintenance and support services on page 66 and 71.

Customers,

    Comment:
    We note your response to prior comment 11. Please revise to disclose the objective criteria you used to determine which customers
    to highlight and whether any other customers satisfy those criteria. Additionally, please summarize the terms of any material agreements
    the company has with these customers and consider filing the agreements as exhibits.

    Response: In
    response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised Amendment No. 1 to disclose the objective criteria you used to
    determine which customers to highlight and whether any other customers satisfy those criteria. As set forth in Amendment No. 1, no
    customer or channel partner accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 or nine months ended
    September 30, 2021. In addition, the contracts with each customer consist of our standard form licensing agreements used in the
    ordinary course of business.  That is, no customer, even if highlighted, has different contract agreement terms that would make
    such contract material in the context of the Company’s overall business operations.  As such, the Company does not
    consider the license agreements entered into with such customers to be a material agreement which would require the summarizing of
    the terms of such agreements or filing such agreements as exhibits with Amendment No. 1.

Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows, page F-6

    4.
    Comment:
    We note from your response to prior comment 12 and your disclosure in Note 5 that the advance to related parties classified
    as investing activities represents funds advanced to your CEO to pay off the Company’s expenses. It appears that these cash
    outflows should be classified as operating activities per ASC 230-10-45-17(b). Please revise, accordingly.

    Response:
    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s Comment and considered ASC 230-10-45-17(b). However, the CEO was not an employee but
    a major shareholder with over 50% equity ownership of the Company. In addition, the cash advanced to the CEO was not for goods or
    services provided, it represented funds advanced to him for the future use. At the time the funds were advanced to the CEO, there
    was no specific project designated that the funds would be used for, therefore the Company considered the advances as business loans
    and reflected the transaction as an investing cash outflow during the monthly closing. Later on, when the CEO used the funds to pay
    off the Company’s expenses, such as business travel expenses and consulting fees, the transaction was reflected as expenses
    paid by the related party on behalf of the Company in the non-cash transactions section included the Company’s cash flow statements
    during the month cash payment was actually made by the CEO. As such, the Company believes the classification of the above
    related party transactions in cash flow statement is reasonable. In anticipation of being a U.S. public company, all balances were
    repaid and no loans to the CEO were outstanding as of September 30, 2021.

    Comment:
    You indicate that, on August 10, 2021, you entered into a stock purchase agreement, pursuant to which you agreed to purchase the
    278 shares of HeartCore Japan held by Dentsu Digital on the earlier of the (i) the date the SEC declares effective a registration
    statement on Form S-1, for a firm commitment underwritten initial public offering of common shares, filed by the Company with the
    SEC or (ii) December 20, 2022. As this appears to be a mandatorily redeemable financial instrument, please revise the classification
    and measurement of noncontrolling interest on your balance sheet as of September 30, 2021. Refer to ASC 480-10-25-4 and 30-1.

    Response:
    In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has revised the unaudited consolidated
    financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 31, 2021 and the accompanying notes to reflect the transaction.

If
the Staff has any further comments regarding Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement on Form S-1, or any subsequent
amendments to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, please feel free to contact the undersigned.

    Statement on Form S-1, filed January 3, 2022

Dear
Sir or Madam:

This
letter responds to the correspondence from the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) dated December
9, 2021 providing comments on the above-referenced Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 (DRS), submitted November 12, 2021 by the
Company (the “Prior Filing”).

The
Company today filed via EDGAR its non-confidential Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “New Filing”). We will
separately provide you with a courtesy copy of the New Filing that is redlined against the Prior Filing. The remainder of this letter
responds to the Staff’s comments on the Prior Filing, which are set forth below along with our responses on behalf of the Company.
We trust you shall deem the contents of this transmittal letter responsive to your comment letter.

    Comment:
    Please disclose prominently on your cover page that you are a holding company and conduct your business through your operating
    subsidiary in Japan. Also, we note your disclosure that you will be a controlled company following the offering. Please also disclose
    on the cover page the Nasdaq corporate governance exemptions you intend to utilize following the offering.

    Response:
    In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the cover page of the New Filing to (i) disclose prominently

    on the cover page the Nasdaq corporate governance exemptions we intend to utilize following the offering.

    Comment:
    We note that you offer a free version of your CXM Platform. Please clarify the percentage of your customers that are paying customers.
    Also, disclose if you have any customers, or generate any revenues, outside of Japan.

    Response:
    In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the New Filing to clarify the percentage of its customers are
    paying customers as well as to disclose that we have customers and generate revenues outside of Japan.

    In
    this regard, we note disclosure on your website that you have 3,500 customers worldwide.

    Response:
    In the past, in order to increase the number of customers we had, we gave free access to numerous customers to our site, resulting
    in about 3,500 customers. However, we have since discontinued such free services to many of those customers resulting in a reduction
    of customers to our current level of customers that are predominantly paying customers.

    Comment:
    We note your auditor is based in the People’s Republic of China. Disclose in the summary and in a risk factor that trading
    in your securities may be prohibited under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect
    or fully investigate your auditor, and that as a result an exchange may determine to delist your securities. If the PCAOB has been
    or is currently unable to inspect your auditor, revise your disclosure to so state. Also, disclose that the United States Senate
    passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which, if enacted, would decrease the number of non-inspection
    years from three years to two, thus reducing the time period before your securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted.

    Response:
    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and respectfully advises the Staff that our auditor will change the city
    and state to Houston, Texas in the auditor’s report after their careful consideration of the requirements under PCAOB auditing
    standard of AS 3101, The Auditor’s Report on an Audit of Financial Statements When the Auditor Expresses an Unqualified Opinion,
    based on the following facts:

    1.
    MaloneBailey,
    LLP (“MaloneBailey”) is an independent registered public accounting firm that is headquartered in the United States with
    offices in Shenzhen and Beijing, China. The consolidated financial statements contained in this registration statement were audited
    by MaloneBailey with the collaboration of the Shenzhen office. However, MaloneBailey China offices are not registered as separate
    firms under PCAOB rules nor do they function as CPA firms. The staff members in MaloneBailey China office use the same system and
    audit methodology supported by the Houston office as a whole; they also conduct or participate in audits of clients located in the
    United States as assigned by MaloneBailey Houston office. The quality control and IT support of all the audit work are provided by
    MaloneBailey Houston office.

    2.
    The
    audit partner of the engagement is employed and paid by MaloneBailey Houston office. The QC partner of the engagement is also located
    in MaloneBailey Houston office.

    Based
    on the above reasons, our auditor believes it is appropriate to use the city and state as Houston, Texas in the auditor’s report.
    MaloneBailey, LLP has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis.

    Comment:
    Please explain why your organizational structure prior to the offering indicates that HeartCore Co,. Ltd. (Japan) is 100%
    owned by HeartCore Enterprises, Inc. (Delaware). In this regard, we note from disclosures elsewhere in your filing that you own 97.5%
    of HeartCore Co., Ltd. In addition, tell us how the organizational structure after the offering reflects the impact of the Company’s
    purchase of 278 shares of HeartCore Japan from Dentsu Digital expected to occur upon the effectiveness of your registration statement
    in accordance with the stock purchase agreement entered into on August 10, 2021.

    Response:
    In response to the Staff’s Comment, the Company is revising the left diagram under Corporate Structure in the New Filing
    to reflect the Company owns 97.5% of HeartCore Co., Ltd. prior to the offering. The right diagram in the New filing reflects after
    the completion of the offering that the Company will own 100% following the Company’s acquisition of the 2.5% interest in HeartCore
    Japan from Dentsu Digital (increasing the Company’s interest from 97.5% to 100% of HeartCore Japan) as well as the ownership
    percentages of Sumitaka Yamamoto, Minority Stockholders and New Investors.

    Please tell us the basis used to select customers highlighted in the graphic on page 96. Refer to Securities Act Forms C&DI
    Question 101.02.

    Response:
    In response to the Staff’s Comment, the Company selected customers in the graphic presentation on page 96 on the basis
    that the customers are representative of the Company’s overall customer base, but that are also particularly well-known customers
    and often appear in the Company’s case studies.

Certain
Relationships and Related Party Transactions, page 125

    12.
    Comment:
    We note that as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, you had related party balances of $23,926 and $8,342, respectively, from your
    CEO. Section 402(a)(k)(1) of the Sarbanes- Oxley Act of 2002 prohibits public companies from extending or maintaining credit in the
    form of personal loans to or for any director or executive officer. To the extent necessary, disclose the action that will be taken
    to ensure this arrangement will be extinguished prior to the completion of the initial public offering, or tell us why this provision
    does not apply to this loan.

    Response:
    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s Comment. However, the prohibitions of Section 402(a)(k)(1) apply only to an extension
    of credit “in the form of a personal loan.” A loan is not a “personal loan” if the primary purpose of the
    loan, from the perspective of the issuer, is to advance the business of the issuer (other than merely through benefiting employees
    and directors of the issuer). Business travel advances may involve limited ancillary personal use (e.g., personal items included
    in hotel room charges) but should not be subject to Section 402(a)(k)(1) prohibition because the arrangements are primarily for the
    benefit of the issuer, not the employee, and they are not personal loans within the ordinary meaning of that term. These advances
    of cash by the Company to the Chief Executive Officer, in accordance with company policy, cover reimbursable travel and similar expenses
    incurred while performing executive responsibilities and, therefore, should not be considered personal loans because they are primarily
    for business purposes. The advances by the Company are reasonable in relation to the anticipated expenses and settled by the Chief
    Executive Officer with the employer through documentation to show the extent of the reimbursable expenses incurred and a reimbursement
    to the Company of any unused advance. No interest is charged, and the period of the advance is in accordance with typical cycles
    of documentation of these types of expenses within the Company.

    unit and the Digital Transformation Division is comprised of three units. Refer to ASC 280-10-50- 40.

    Response:
    In response to the Staff’s Comment, the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the New Filing have been revised
    on page F-11 to disclose the amount of revenues for each group of similar products and services.

    Comment:
    Please disclose the amount of revenue and long-lived assets attributed to Japan and attributed to all foreign countries in
    total, with any material amounts attributed to an individual foreign country disclosed separately. Refer to ASC 280-10-50-41.

    Response:
    In response to the Staff’s Comment, the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the New Filing have been revised
    on page F-11 to disclose that all long-lived assets and almost all of the revenue generated are attributed to the Company’s
    operations in Japan, given that the revenue attributed to all foreign countries in total is less than 1% of the total revenue.
