Beijing E-Town Creates a Hub for Robotics and Intelligent Manufacturing Industries
- Written by Media Outreach
BEIJING, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 27 August 2024 - On August 21, the highly anticipated World Robot Conference 2024 (WRC 2024) grandly opened at the Beijing Etrong International Exhibition & Convention Center, once again drawing global attention to the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (Beijing E-Town). As the main hub for high-end industries in the capital, Beijing E-Town has fully utilized the platform of WRC to promote the integration of production and conferences, meticulously planning industry connections and project promotions, and conducting in-depth industry forums, visits, exchanges, and project roadshows to facilitate more technological innovation achievements in the development area. By the second day of the conference, Beijing E-Town had signed a total of 22 key projects, primarily covering two major sectors: the embodied intelligence ecosystem and components + intelligent manufacturing, further enhancing its role as a gravitational field for the robotics and intelligent manufacturing industries. As the permanent venue of the World Robot Conference, Beijing E-Town has taken this opportunity to deeply engage in the conference, fully showcasing its strength and appeal as the primary hub for high-end industries in the capital. Zhang Qiang, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (BDA), and Kong Lei, Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Director of the Administrative Committee of the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (BDA), led teams to meet face-to-face with over ten well-known robot manufacturing companies, international organizations, investment institutions, and scientists from various countries and regions. They listened attentively, investigated the development status of the artificial intelligence industry, and introduced in detail the development and policy situation of Beijing and Beijing E-Town's AI industry, aligning resource needs, demonstrating sincerity, and seeking cooperation. Zhang Qiang introduced to the enterprises that Beijing, as the region with the highest density of AI talent, the best innovation foundation, the most complete key links, the largest industry scale, and the strongest competitiveness in the country, has achieved a series of nationally and globally pioneering technological achievements. As a trailblazer for high-quality development in the new era and a "ballast stone" for the capital's real economy, Beijing E-Town is deeply implementing the national "AI+" strategy and the decisions and deployments of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. It positions artificial intelligence as a key engine to vigorously advance the development of new-quality productive forces, fully leveraging its innovative resource advantages to plan and cultivate an AI industry aligned with the industrial system, strongly supporting the construction of Beijing as an international center for technological innovation and the innovative development of future industries. Kong Lei explained that Beijing E-Town is vigorously building an innovative system that spans from algorithm breakthroughs and model development to scenario creation and industrial transformation, constructing a city of artificial intelligence for the future. The first batch of ten benchmark application scenarios, including "AI + humanoid robots," is under construction. Here, centered around "large models + big data + massive computing power," support is provided for building the Beijing Artificial Intelligence Data Training Base to solidify the foundation of the AI industry. Currently, 5000P high-performance intelligent computing power has been put into use, with a planned computing power scale exceeding 10,000P. Relying on the data aggregation platform, a high-quality data zone is being constructed, implementing a "regulatory sandbox" mechanism for data compliance and scenario application for large model training, providing a secure and trustworthy application training environment. Additionally, the Beijing Artificial Intelligence Data Training Base has been established to help large models develop the "strongest brain." At the "Embodied Intelligence Industry Trends and Future Development Forum" held on August 22 during the WRC 2024, Beijing E-Town signed agreements with eight companies, including the Beijing Embodied Intelligence Robot Innovation Center, Beijing Chietcom Transmission Technology Co., Ltd., and Beijing Ant Non-standard Technology Co., Ltd., for projects involving a "national-level" embodied intelligence innovation platform that addresses common industry issues, a domestically leading flexible and agile manufacturing service for industrial components to supplement the synergy of high-end manufacturing industries, and the independently developed high-precision reducers that achieve domestic substitution. With this, Beijing E-Town has signed a total of 22 key projects during...
