Amid the profound convergence of artificial intelligence and robotics, Shenzhen, as a "pioneer city," is once again at the forefront of global technology. On August 28, 2025, the 2025 Shenzhen (International) General Artificial Intelligence Conference—Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Development Forum, hosted by the Shenzhen Artificial Intelligence Industry Association, grandly opened in the Mangrove Hall of the Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center (Bao'an). Bringing together government officials, academicians, experts, business leaders, and international representatives, the conference presented a panoramic view of the four pillars of Shenzhen's AI and robotics industry ecosystem, injecting "Shenzhen momentum" into the coordinated development of the global intelligent industry.
Anchoring Global Benchmarks, Creating New Heights
Wang Jiangping, Member of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Director of the Second National New Materials Advisory Committee, Director of the Electronic Science and Technology Committee of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and former Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, attended the 2025 AGIC Shenzhen Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Innovation and Development Forum and delivered a speech.
He pointed out that the artificial intelligence and robotics industries, as typical representatives of new-quality productive forces, are developing rapidly but still face shortcomings, such as in high-end computing chips. With the release of the State Council's "Artificial Intelligence Plus" Action Plan, he proposed four suggestions: adhere to innovation-driven development to address core shortcomings; strengthen enterprise support to stimulate market vitality; promote industrial integration and empowerment to overcome transformation bottlenecks; and uphold open cooperation to jointly build a global ecosystem, thereby helping the industry achieve high-quality development.
Using the event as a bridge to empower global expansion
In his keynote address on "Opportunities and Challenges of General Artificial Intelligence Industrialization," Executive Chairman Fan Congming noted that artificial intelligence and robotics, as strategic technologies leading a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, are becoming core engines driving high-quality economic and social development. Currently, terminal devices such as robots have entered a period of intelligent transformation. AI technology empowers hardware with "thinking" capabilities, driving the technological system from single-point breakthroughs to a collaborative ecosystem, providing strong momentum for Shenzhen to become a global source of innovation and a leading industrial hub for the intelligent industry.
Breaking down barriers between industry, academia, and research to ignite innovation.
The Shenzhen Artificial Intelligence Industry Association and the National Science and Technology Resource Sharing Service Engineering Technology Research Center of Beihang University signed a strategic cooperation agreement to establish an innovative paradigm that deeply integrates industry, academia, research, and application.
From Model to Ecosystem, Unlocking the Intelligent Future
In the keynote speech, Wang Jianping, Deputy Director of the National Science and Technology Resource Sharing Service Engineering Technology Research Center of Beihang University, systematically explained the logic and practical path for building a national artificial intelligence industry model and unveiled the latest results.
Zhang Jiaxing, Chief Scientist of Artificial Intelligence at China Merchants Group and Director of Lion Rock Laboratory, gave an in-depth presentation on "World and Models." He noted that the development of large-scale models is reshaping how humans perceive and interact with the world.
Ludovic Krundel, Co-founder and CTO of Stardust & Company, discussed building a global robotics ecosystem, from advanced AI systems to international synergies.
Reconstructing Experience, Leading the Application Revolution
Mr. Liu Zhiqiang, President of the Hong Kong Applied Innovation Institute and Partner of Digital China (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd., presented a lecture on robotics ethics. A bridge connecting humans, robots, and society.
Yang Bo, Vice President of Technical Services and AI Business Development at Jihu Yuma, presented the "AGENT Enters the Code Warehouse" initiative and briefly discussed the evolution of enterprise R&D efficiency, promoting the transformation of enterprise R&D from "human-driven" to "AI-driven."
Li Runchao, senior product development expert at Highpower Technology, explained how Highpower Technology's "AI + solid-state" dual-wheel drive, from safety to endurance, creates a new paradigm for energy solutions for robots and AI smart hardware.
A "combination punch" creates new fertile ground.
Xu Shaoqing, Level 3 Researcher of the Data Resources Management Division of the Shenzhen Municipal Government Services and Data Administration, provided a detailed explanation of Shenzhen's policy matrix supporting the development of the AI industry during the "Policy Express" session.
Intelligently mapping a global ecosystem, creating a new era of intelligence.
The successful holding of this forum not only serves as a showcase for Shenzhen's strength in the AI and robotics industries, but also as a bridge for the coordinated development of the global intelligent industry. Going forward, Shenzhen will continue to embrace an open, innovative, and collaborative approach, connecting with global innovation resources to promote technological breakthroughs, ecosystem co-building, and the implementation of applications. Shenzhen stands at the forefront of this transformation, working hand in hand with the world to chart a grand blueprint for an intelligent future.
