en.Wedoany.com Reported - China's embodied intelligence company AGIBOT, in partnership with the Hong Kong China Friendship Association, will host the "First Hong Kong Embodied Intelligence Industry Summit & AGIBOT APC2026 (Hong Kong)" on May 12, 2026, in Hong Kong. This summit will focus on the global development and industrial collaboration of embodied intelligence. AGIBOT will use Hong Kong as a key window to showcase its overall layout and progress targeting the global market. According to multiple media reports including Jiemian News and Yicai, the information originates from AGIBOT's official WeChat public account.
AGIBOT positions APC2026 as its annual flagship conference for global partners and developers, with Hong Kong serving as a key stop in its annual event series. At the "2026 Partner Conference" held in Zhangjiang, Shanghai, China on April 17, over 2,500 partners from 34 countries and regions attended. Deng Taihua, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of AGIBOT, systematically proposed the "XYZ Curve for Embodied Intelligence Industry Development" for the first time, clearly delineating the industry's three-stage transition path from the "Development Trial Phase" (X Curve) to the "Deployment Growth Phase" (Y Curve) and then to the "Deployment Popularization Phase" (Z Curve). At the conference, AGIBOT simultaneously released 4 new robot body products, 6 innovative AI large models, and seven deployment-ready industry solutions, and announced the "358" Grand Plan—achieving productivity entry in three years, productivity implementation in five years, and embracing intelligence emergence in eight years.
AGIBOT's global expansion has moved from strategic conception to practical implementation. On February 24, 2026, AGIBOT held a launch event in Munich, Germany, officially announcing its entry into the German market. It released a full series of general-purpose embodied robot product matrices and system-level industry solutions for the German market, and signed a specific strategic cooperation agreement with Minth Group, a manufacturer of automotive exterior and structural parts. Leveraging over 15 years of experience and industrial operation capabilities in the European market, Minth Group becomes AGIBOT's strategic partner and sales agent in the European market. Both parties will accelerate the localized implementation and scaled deployment of robotics technology in Europe. AGIBOT's Head of Europe and Americas previously stated publicly that the Germany launch is a crucial step in the company's globalization strategy, and it will continue to promote the application expansion of embodied intelligence technology in Europe.
In Hong Kong, AGIBOT has already completed its positioning within the industry-academia-research ecosystem. On March 31, 2026, AGIBOT and The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) held a strategic cooperation launch ceremony, announcing the joint establishment of an embodied intelligence industry-academia-research platform. AGIBOT will provide dedicated R&D funds, robot hardware platforms, high-quality data resources, and diverse application scenario support; CUHK will organize research teams to collaborate with the enterprise on fundamental research and technological breakthroughs, and establish a normalized mechanism for joint cultivation of high-level talent. Dr. Luo Jianlan, Partner, Senior Vice President, and Chief Scientist of AGIBOT, stated at the launch ceremony that Hong Kong, as a global hub for technological innovation, possesses unique international advantages, and CUHK's profound academic heritage provides an ideal partner for AGIBOT to seek technological breakthroughs. The company looks forward to closely integrating industrial resources with Hong Kong's academic ecosystem through this collaboration, promoting the strategic layout of the Greater Bay Area in the global artificial intelligence competitive landscape.
Currently, AGIBOT's robots have been widely applied in scenarios such as logistics, exhibition hall guiding, retail, hotel services, and education, and have deeply penetrated industrial production processes. On the industrial side, the Genie G2 humanoid robot has been applied to precision loading and unloading processes and high-precision assembly processes on flat panel production lines, with some process cycle times reaching as fast as 12.97 seconds and a success rate exceeding 99%. A considerable number of robots have already been deployed in overseas markets including Europe, America, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, with customer demand shifting from early pilot projects to scaled repeat purchases and full-line deployment. AGIBOT's operating revenue grew from 300,000 RMB in its founding year to exceed 1 billion RMB in 2025, achieving nearly 20-fold annual growth consecutively, with the full-year target for 2026 aiming for exponential growth.
The Hong Kong SAR Government is actively building a policy foundation for the embodied intelligence industry. Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po explicitly proposed in the "2026-27 Budget" to "actively promote the construction of the embodied intelligence ecosystem and product application," and took the lead in establishing the "AI+ and Industry Development Strategy Committee," initially focusing on the fields of life and health and embodied intelligence. Currently, Hong Kong's three major technology parks have gathered over 130 start-up tech companies related to embodied intelligence, and the InnoHK innovation and technology research platform has cumulatively funded 16 laboratories focusing on AI and robotics. With the Hong Kong AI Research Institute commencing operation in the second half of 2026, and the "Innovation and Technology Industry Guidance Fund" beginning operations within the year, Hong Kong's institutional support system in the field of AI and robotics is accelerating its formation.
On May 12, with the convening of the First Hong Kong Embodied Intelligence Industry Summit, AGIBOT's globalization strategy, using Hong Kong as a fulcrum, will officially be unveiled. Its founder, Deng Taihua, is expected to announce the company's latest strategic blueprint and technology roadmap for the global market at the summit. The summit will also bring together representatives from top research institutions, upstream and downstream enterprises in the industry chain, and investment institutions in the field of embodied intelligence from Hong Kong and globally, to jointly discuss the critical path from technological breakthroughs to commercial implementation of embodied intelligence. AGIBOT's deployment cases in scenarios such as industrial handling, production line loading and unloading, logistics sorting, and industrial and commercial cleaning will be the core showcase content of the summit. The mass production achievements of its main models, such as Genie G1 Max and Genie G2—including scaled applications in enterprises like Fulin Precision Machining, SAIC-GM Ultium Super Factory, Huatian Technology, and Damon Technology—will further confirm the commercialization inflection point of humanoid robots transitioning from the "R&D phase" to the "deployment phase."
