The Hubei Humanoid Robotics Industry Chain Matchmaking Conference was held as part of the 3rd China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) in Beijing, themed " Synergy of Cutting-Edge Innovations, Strengthening New Quality Production Forces ."
The event brought together over 400 attendees, including ambassadors, experts, business leaders, and financial executives. With keynote speeches, project presentations, and the signing of cooperation contracts, the event highlighted Hubei 's strengths in humanoid robotics and encouraged global collaboration across the industry.
Yu Jianlong, vice president of the China Council for the Development of International Trade (CCPIT) , highlighted Hubei 's strategic location , rich scientific and technological resources, innovation ecosystem and openness. He noted the province's rapid progress in the field of humanoid robotics, covering intelligent manufacturing, R&D on core components, application scenarios and ecosystem development.
“At this year’s CISCE, Hubei launched a humanoid robotics exhibition area with 22 companies showcasing more than 80 exhibits, including 20 fully integrated humanoid robots, highlighting the province’s comprehensive robotics industry ecosystem,” Yu noted.
He said CCPIT will strengthen its service network and global partnerships, helping Hubei build international cooperation platforms and build its humanoid robotics industry into a leading brand.
Hu Zhonghai, Director of CCPIT Hubei , called humanoid robotics a key driver of technological innovation and industrial upgrading. He highlighted Hubei 's geographical, industrial and political advantages , as home to 325 Fortune Global 500 companies, and outlined its robotics roadmap, with milestones to be achieved in one, three and five years.
Zhao Xingwei, JCBot's legal representative and a professor at HUST, said JCBot has industrialized its technologies with the support of HUST academics. Its products are used in more than 10 fields, including industrial production, tourism, firefighting, and warehousing. He pledged to strengthen R&D for higher value-added applications and industrial upgrades.
At the product launch, Lou Kaiqi, deputy general manager of Hubei Optics Valley Dongzhi Embodied Intelligence Technology Co. Ltd., introduced the company's new humanoid robot. Already used in roles such as exhibition guidance, retail, hospitality, and performances, the robot is expected to expand to public services, industrial operations, elderly care, and more.
At the matchmaking conference, the Hubei Humanoid Robotics Industry Alliance signed strategic agreements with three partners: the Zhejiang Robot Industry Association, the Humanoid Robotics Innovation Center, and the Zhongguancun Rongzhi Specialized Robotics Alliance. The collaboration will focus on R&D, market expansion, and talent exchange, with the aim of building a stronger robotics ecosystem through resource sharing and complementarity of strengths.
