Robots burst into Beijing Yizhuang
On August 19, the annual World Robot Conference opened in Beijing Yizhuang. More than 300 world-renowned companies showcased over 2000 exhibits, among which more than 150 products made their global or national debut. Inside the conference hall, humanoid robots danced, did housework, and screwed screws, excelling at everything, surrounded by crowds taking photos.
More perceptive than ordinary attendees are the quietly surging industry pulses. A large number of investors rushed to Beijing from various places, weaving between booths to view prototypes, watch demonstrations, and exchange contact information.
An investor stated that on the first day of the event, he added over 20 WeChat contacts, with his phone notes filled with projects to follow up, “It’s always possible to encounter peers while walking around the exhibition.” The grand spectacle of the conference confirms that the robotics sector is becoming one of the hottest focuses in the venture capital circle.
