On December 20, the 2025 Shenzhen Ecological Conference on Disruptive Technological Innovation and the Achievement Release Event of the Intelligent Robot Championship was held in Luohu District.
The first Intelligent Robot Championship held in Shenzhen is the first tournament launched under the National Competition for Disruptive Technological Innovation. This championship focuses on selecting and supporting enterprises and teams with potential for disruptive technological innovation in the sector, attracting a total of 253 projects from across the country. The technical routes cover the entire industrial chain of intelligent robots, ranging from perception, decision-making, drive and control to complete machine manufacturing, which fully demonstrates the innovation depth and industrial potential of China’s intelligent robot industry. After two rounds of competition featuring project roadshows and expert evaluations (the preliminary round and the final round), 12 high-quality projects stood out from the contestants.
At the award ceremony, four projects were granted the official approval and licensing for the key special project of the National Key R&D Program – Disruptive Technological Innovation (hereinafter referred to as the Key Special Project). It is reported that the approved projects will receive comprehensive and sustainable support in funding, technology and intellectual resources, serving as a continuous source of impetus for their pursuit in the marathon of disruptive innovation. Since its establishment, the Shenzhen Center for Disruptive Technological Innovation has curated a portfolio of over 300 high-quality projects rooted in Shenzhen and open to the whole nation. Upon recommendation and joint demonstration with the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Center, more projects are expected to secure the approval for the Key Special Project in the future. In addition, enterprises with the intention to settle in Luohu with their six projects signed cooperation agreements with the district government at the event.
