Guangzhou's first embodied intelligence innovation center — Yunwan Center — has begun operations. Li Gong Industrial's humanoid robot has been chosen for the provincial-level scientific and technological achievements exhibition. Yuan Feng Intelligent has launched its first conference guidance robot, and Saite Intelligent has inaugurated its new headquarters, with its robotic products already used at major events like the National Games and the Canton Fair.

Baiyun is systematically promoting industrial growth through three key initiatives. First, it is developing an industrial platform by utilizing the Yunwan Center to establish an integrated ecosystem involving government, industry, academia, research, application, and finance, creating a comprehensive support system from research and development to implementation.

Second, it is expanding into diverse application scenarios by leveraging the district's 700,000 market entities and robust manufacturing foundation to offer extensive testing grounds and implementation spaces for robotic technologies.

Third, it is strengthening resource support, with plans to introduce specialized policies offering up to tens of millions of yuan in funding to eligible enterprises, alongside supporting resources in talent, land, and finance.

Baiyun aims to reach a robotics industry scale of over 26 billion yuan ($3.68 billion) by 2027, with an average annual growth rate exceeding 50 percent. Moving forward, the district will focus on developing the entire machine and core component supply chain, transforming 50 manufacturing enterprises into specialized suppliers to create a healthy industrial cycle.
