From December 19 to 21, the final and award ceremony of the robot industry Professional Competition of the 12th China Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition 2023 and the robot industry Development Forum were held in Tangshan High-tech Industrial Development Zone, Hebei Province (hereinafter referred to as "Tangshan High-tech Zone").
The competition received a total of 151 projects, including 10 overseas projects, involving 6 countries, 19 provinces, 31 cities. After fierce competition, a total of 56 companies and teams entered the final. In the end, 21 projects such as underground pipe network desilting detection robot and ground grid integration system, ceramic 5G smart factory robot production line, intelligent flight inspection workstation, and operational flying robot won awards in the final competition. At the same time, 12 team projects such as Nanjing Medici Network Technology, Beijing Tebo Beyond Technology, and Hefei Hagong Lingdun Engineering Technology signed contracts with Tangshan High-tech Zone, becoming the "new members" of Tangshan robot industry.
It is reported that Tangshan High-tech Zone is the first characteristic base and well-known brand creation demonstration area named after the robot industry in China, and it is also the first robot professional innovation and entrepreneurship platform in Hebei Province, forming a robot industrial cluster with industrial robots as support and special robots as features, integrating research and development, production and service. In recent years, the high-tech zone, guided by sound development ecology, aims to expand the industrial scale, and strives to build a national influential special robot research and development headquarters base, robot application innovation highland, and build a robot industry development ecosystem.
Improving the robot industry ecology is inseparable from policy support. Dong Xuezhong, deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee of Tangshan High-tech Zone and director of the Management Committee, introduced that Tangshan High-tech Zone this year formulated the Implementation Plan for the Cultivation and Growth of enterprises in Tangshan High-tech Zone (2023-2025) and several measures for supporting the high-quality development of the robot industry in Tangshan High-tech Zone. Stacking policy support for the development of the robot industry from many aspects.
"We attract investment and talents through competitions, constantly promote the high-end and intelligent development of innovative enterprises, extend the industrial chain, expand application scenarios, and achieve accurate industrial layout and high-quality development." Dong Xuezhong introduced that Tangshan High-tech Zone has achieved positive results in robot technology research and development, industrial chain construction, application scenario expansion, and industrial agglomeration development. In 2023, it has signed a contract to introduce 52 high-quality robot enterprise projects, with a total investment of 3.486 billion yuan, and a total of 123 robot enterprises.
"The scale of the intelligent robot industry will drive the coordinated development of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain." At the robot Industry Development Forum during the event, Shen Zhongjun, president of Tsinghua Tongfang Innovation Research Institute, made a keynote speech on the development trend of the robot industry. He said that the development of robots has experienced the accumulation stage of laboratory technology and the advanced stage of industrial robots, and is now gradually moving toward the era of embodied intelligence; The iteration of AI large models and hardware technology solutions is conducive to the functional upgrading and intelligent upgrading of robot products. Intelligent robots involve key industries in many fields of intelligent manufacturing and software algorithms, which can stimulate a number of digital economy-related industries and drive regional economic development.
