On January 19, the Second Suzhou Wuzhong Embodied Intelligent Robot Industry Innovation and Development Conference cum the Conference on Promoting All-Domain Intelligent Scenarios Application Opening was held in Wuzhong district, Suzhou. The event unveiled a suite of policies for opening embodied AI (EAI) application scenarios, and released a list of demand for EAI solutions. It successfully joined the efforts of government, industry, academia, and research institutions to promote industrial upgrading by comprehensively increasing intelligent technology application scenarios, thereby accelerating Wuzhong district's development towards "China's Premier Robotics Industry Cluster."

As a critical bridge connecting technology with industry and also R&D with the market, scenarios are central to fostering new quality productive forces. To systematically advance scenario cultivation at the national level, China has issued the Implementation Opinions on Accelerating Scenario Cultivation and Openness and Promoting Large-Scale Application of New Scenarios. With EAI robots now on the cusp of commercialization in China, the focus of future competition will shift from "whether one possesses the technology" to "who possesses authentic, diverse, and sustainable application environments." In alignment with this national strategy, Wuzhong district has taken a proactive lead by forging an open hub for all-domain intelligent robot scenarios, poised to become the premier launchpad for pioneering technologies, products, and applications in the industry.

At the conference, the newly launched digital host, Biluo Xianzi, unveiled the country's first all-domain scenario opening framework for embodied intelligent robots—the Wuzhong District Three-Year Action Plan for All-Domain Intelligent Scenario Application Opening (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). The Plan outlines a "Hundred–Thousand–Ten-Thousand" initiative: attracting and fostering 100 robot manufacturers, developing 1,000 real-world application scenarios, and deploying 10,000 intelligent robots to permeate every facet of production and daily life. Tailored to Wuzhong's local conditions, the Plan details 13 systemic measures to cultivate EAI scenarios, spanning optimized product supply, enhanced data capabilities, accelerated pilot testing, open scenario resources, innovative investment models, deepened supply-demand matchmaking, empowered innovation entities, cultivated smart terminals, built innovation platforms, improved scenario services, robust policy support, professional talent development, and upgraded infrastructure.

To ensure the Plan's effective implementation, Wuzhong district has recently conducted extensive consultations with key industries, research institutions, and innovative enterprises, culminating in three curated lists: an open scenario list, a supply list, and a support list. The release of the first batch of 100 scenario demand items at the conference reflects findings from in-depth research, with each demand targeting genuine pain points and innovation opportunities in the district's industrial upgrading. Additionally, the conference launched the all-domain intelligent scenario application open platform, designed to integrate end-devices—including drones, unmanned vessels, autonomous vehicles, and embodied intelligent robots—into a unified hardware-software ecosystem that spans multiple applications and scenarios, thereby accelerating technological breakthroughs, scenario validation, and industrial transformation.

Since its designation in 2024 as a pilot zone for Jiangsu province's future industry aggregation and development initiative in humanoid robotics, Wuzhong district has centered on the dual pillars of "robotics + AI" as its core and top-priority industry. By deepening inter-departmental coordination and driving breakthroughs across the entire industrial chain, the district has laid a robust foundation for establishing itself as a leading hub for cultivating open, all-domain scenarios for EAI robots.

While consolidating its competitive edge in core components like reducers and servo motors, Wuzhong has rapidly addressed previous gaps in whole-machine manufacturing and core algorithms. This has propelled the district's industrial ecosystem to new prominence, with a growing tally of top honors in embodied intelligence at municipal and provincial levels underscoring its hard-tech capabilities.

"In recent years, Wuzhong has unwaveringly pursued the strategy of 'building a strong district with robust industries and pioneering innovations,' prioritizing the robotics + AI sector as our flagship industry," said Wan Li, secretary of the CPC Wuzhong District Committee and district director. "Wuzhong saw the debut of the district's eight major embodied intelligence enterprises, and is home to five of Jiangsu's 13 pillar enterprises in humanoid robotics. We have successfully established the Jiangsu Embodied Intelligent Robot Innovation Center and Data Collection & Training Center. The number of robot manufacturers has surged over 70%, with product varieties growing by more than 30%, reflecting our robust development momentum."

The conference also unveiled the 2026 Action Plan of Wuzhong District for Advancing the LakeTech Innovation Ecosystem and the OPC Innovation and Entrepreneurship Talent Training Program, while launching the Wuzhong Embodied Intelligence Industry Investors Alliance. A series of university-enterprise cooperation platforms were signed, injecting patient capital and cross-disciplinary talent—critical enablers for realizing the "Hundred–Thousand–Ten-Thousand" vision.

Moving forward, Wuzhong will capitalize on favorable conditions, steadfastly adhere to its development strategy of "building a strong district with robust industries and pioneering innovations," and maintain its resolute stance on accelerating the deep-seated advancement of new industrialization. Anchored on the goal of becoming "China's Premier Robotics Industry Cluster," the district will continue to cultivate the "robotics + AI" industry by leveraging innovation as the key to industrial leadership, scenarios as the sail for new application paradigms, and service sincerity as the bedrock of a top-tier innovation ecosystem. Through large-scale industrial development, Wuzhong is poised to achieve a transformative leap forward.
