With the trust and support of the Administrative Committee of the Hengqin Guangdong-Macao Deep Cooperation Zone, the Embodied Intelligence New Quality Industry Association has been officially established. Committed to advancing new quality productivity, the Association aims to integrate resources from Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, build a collaborative ecosystem of industry, academia, and research, and help Hengqin become a leading hub for the embodied intelligence industry.

Guided by four key strategies—industry-academia collaboration, talent cultivation, technological innovation, and international alignment—the Association leverages the expertise of top-tier institutions such as the Southern University of Science and Technology, the University of Macau, and South China University of Technology. It collaborates with industry leaders like Foxconn, AMICCOM, and the Guangdong Provincial Academy of Building Research to establish R&D platforms and enterprise clusters in Hengqin. Focusing on robotics and intelligent algorithms, the Association integrates AI multimodal perception technologies in sectors such as 3C electronics, semiconductors, building energy efficiency, smart healthcare, and smart agriculture, driving talent development and technological innovation in product R&D and manufacturing. It also facilitates the technology transfer chain, accelerates product commercialization, and promotes local enterprise cooperation. Simultaneously, it advances the integration of medical robotics technologies with countries like Japan to enhance the industry's international competitiveness.

By capitalizing on Hengqin's policy advantages, the Association aggregates global resources to cultivate new quality industrial clusters, promotes the integration of green technologies and robotics, and constructs demonstration scenarios for intelligent manufacturing and building energy efficiency, as well as benchmarks for smart healthcare and smart agriculture.

We firmly believe that through collaborative innovation among industry, academia, and research, Hengqin will become the core source of the embodied intelligence industry in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and a supporting platform for extensive international exchanges. The Association will continue to deepen government-enterprise collaboration, deliver results in technological breakthroughs and industrial implementation to meet expectations from all sectors, and jointly write a new chapter in intelligent manufacturing in Hengqin.

Rooted in Hengqin's policy advantages, the Association gathers global innovation resources to establish Hengqin as the core source of the embodied intelligence industry in the Greater Bay Area, construct benchmarks for the integration of intelligent manufacturing and green technologies, and become a supporting platform for extensive international exchanges and cooperation.

Centered on industry-academia-research collaboration, the Association integrates resources from Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao to drive talent development and technological innovation in intelligent algorithms, robotics, and multimodal perception technologies. It provides advanced technological services to enterprises in the Greater Bay Area, accelerates technology transfer and industrial implementation, cultivates new quality productivity clusters, and empowers the construction of Hengqin as a highland for the intelligent industry.

To promote intelligent manufacturing and automation, the Association encourages the application of AI robots in manufacturing, particularly in the automation upgrades of high-end equipment, automotive, and electronics sectors. It develops intelligent service robots to advance the application of service-oriented AI robots in industries such as healthcare, agriculture, education, and logistics, expanding the scope of industrial applications. It implements pilot demonstration projects, selects typical fields or environments for AI robot application demonstrations, and promotes the dissemination of application technologies and incremental business benefits for members.

The Association strengthens education and training by collaborating with technical universities and experts to offer specialized courses in artificial intelligence and robotics, establish practical training bases, and cultivate high-end talents urgently needed by the industry. It attracts international talents by hosting international events and exchange opportunities, setting up an international talent introduction platform, providing work opportunities and implementation scenarios for technical cooperation for international AI experts and innovative talents, promoting industry-academia-research collaboration, organizing leading enterprises and member companies to articulate technological needs, facilitating technological cooperation among academia, research institutions, and enterprises, and supporting the innovative practices of young researchers and the implementation of cutting-edge application technologies.

The Association builds an industrial resource platform to promote the opening and sharing of data resources, drive enterprise cooperation and application innovation at the data level, create an AI application open platform, encourage the construction of open R&D platforms, enable more enterprises and research institutions to share R&D outcomes, and promote rapid technological iteration and application. It establishes a product technology verification platform by leveraging the resources of leading enterprises and member companies to create an AI robot technology verification field platform, assisting enterprises in rapid product commercialization and business growth.

The Association assists in expanding international markets by hosting overseas market briefing events and establishing service platforms, encouraging member companies to participate in international technological cooperation and market development, and enhancing the international competitiveness of AI robots. It organizes international forums and exhibitions, regularly holds international AI robot forums or expositions, arranges overseas exhibitions for member companies, promotes technological exchanges and cooperation, and enhances global influence. It organizes international technological competitions, establishes the GBAAI Robot Invitational Tournament, assists member companies and technical teams in participating in other international competitions, and promotes the emergence of excellent technologies through competitive events.

Renowned enterprises such as Foxconn and Amazon have announced their needs, providing matching opportunities to help enterprises seize the initiative. The Association collaborates with the Japan Robot Association and other organizations to create an efficient matching platform, assisting enterprises in expanding overseas markets. It partners with Japan's largest exhibition company to explore the Japanese market and cooperates with a 2,000-square-meter exhibition venue in Dubai, the UAE, to support member companies in exhibitions.

The Association organizes visits to leading Japanese enterprises to learn advanced experiences and enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises. It conducts in-depth visits to domestic leading technology enterprises to learn cutting-edge experiences and promote enterprise innovation and upgrading. It regularly holds high-quality forums to gather professionals, jointly explore cutting-edge technologies, and stimulate innovative exchanges.
