Let's meet at WAIC in Shanghai on July 26th to jointly explore the "Dongguan Solution" for the new AI ecosystem.

 The wave of AI is sweeping across the globe. While the industry focuses on the technological breakthroughs of large models, it is also exploring a more fundamental and crucial industrial proposition: When algorithms are applied in practice, how can we provide one-stop implementation solutions for AI enterprises in terms of computing power, scenarios, funds, and ecosystem? At the stage of the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), Dongguan Binhaiwan New Area from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will offer their answers.

On the afternoon of July 26th, Dongguan Binhaiwan New Area will host a themed salon named "The 'Dongguan Solution' for Empowering the New AI Ecosystem" at WAIC. The aim is to jointly discuss with global explorers, builders, and investors in the AI field how technology can reshape business logic and industrial patterns, and to share new opportunities for ecological empowerment in the intelligent industry.

The confidence of Binhaiwan New Area in vigorously developing the artificial intelligence industry comes from Dongguan, known as the 'World Factory'.

Dongguan's manufacturing strength as the 'World Factory' has long been well - known. As early as 2000, Li Zufan, the then vice - president of IDM Asia, once said, "If the expressway from Dongguan to Shenzhen is congested, 70% of the world's computer products will be out of stock." Even today, the 'Dongguan Speed' is still astonishing: 90% of the components of a smartphone can be quickly assembled within a one - hour commuting circle in Dongguan. Here, there are not only leading intelligent terminal enterprises represented by Huawei, OPPO, and vivo, but also 1,700 above - scale electronic information manufacturing enterprises and over 30,000 intelligent mobile terminal cluster enterprises, forming a complete industrial system from basic components to terminal product manufacturing.

It can be said that during the golden period of industrial implementation when artificial intelligence moves from models and algorithms to applications, the industrial depth accumulated by Dongguan in manufacturing provides the best application soil for AI technology practice and industrial integration.

Binhaiwan New Area is not only supported by leading enterprises such as OPPO and vivo, but also relying on Dongguan's strong manufacturing foundation, has formed an industrial pattern of 'leading enterprises leading + ecological synergy'. This year, the first policy documents of Guangdong Province and Dongguan City in the new year have successively proposed to support the construction of the 'Artificial Intelligence New Area'.

Next, Binhaiwan New Area will vigorously promote the in - depth integration of cutting - edge technologies such as artificial intelligence with Dongguan's powerful manufacturing system to enhance the added value and core competitiveness of the industry.

Dongguan and Binhaiwan New Area have shown great sincerity and made thorough preparations to embrace the opportunities of the AI era.

In terms of financial support, a multi - level fund matrix is taking shape. At the municipal level, Dongguan has coordinated a 5 - billion - yuan artificial intelligence sub - fund group. On this basis, Binhaiwan New Area has also established a 1 - billion - yuan artificial intelligence mother fund and a 100 - million - yuan AI concept certification fund, focusing on hard - core technology fields such as semiconductors and intelligent terminals, and providing full - cycle capital support for AI enterprises from 'concept verification' to'scale expansion'.

In terms of computing power guarantee, Binhaiwan New Area provides an abundant and low - cost solution. Dongguan plans to issue a total of 50 million yuan in computing power vouchers within three years, and Binhaiwan New Area will provide an additional 20 million yuan on this basis. A total of 70 million yuan in 'computing power vouchers' will directly reduce the costs of enterprises in model training and application development. In addition, OPPO, as a leading enterprise, has a global computing power center located in Binhaiwan, which has a high - computing - power service platform supporting the training of 100 - billion - level AI models. After full completion, the computing power is expected to reach over 8000P.

In terms of spatial carriers and ecological construction, Binhaiwan New Area focuses on creating a perfect environment for AI enterprises to'move in with just a suitcase'. The new area is fully promoting the construction of the 'Lingxi Series' AI industrial space system. Among them, Lingxi Island AI Town, as the core area, has a planned area of 1,500 mu, an investment of about 6.6 billion yuan, and a construction area of about 780,000 square meters. It will focus on three major directions of 'AI + Manufacturing', 'AI + Future Life', and 'AI + Urban Governance' to build a full - chain artificial intelligence industrial ecosystem integrating 'technological innovation, industrial empowerment, product manufacturing, application demonstration, and experience interaction'.

A vibrant industry - academia - research ecosystem has also taken shape: Here, leading enterprises such as OPPO and vivo continuously output innovation results and scenario application requirements; at the same time, many well - known enterprises and innovative projects in the fields of artificial intelligence and robotics have been attracted to settle. In terms of talent cultivation, the Greater Bay Area University (Binhaiwan Campus) covering an area of 2,100 mu will become the cradle of future innovative talents.

During this WAIC, Binhaiwan New Area will condense this sincerity and strength into this themed salon.

The salon will be carried out in the form of 'presentation + dialogue'. In the first half, representatives of Dongguan Binhaiwan New Area and leading enterprises that have settled there will release information about the industrial situation of Binhaiwan New Area and the demand scenarios of enterprises, and share practical experiences in 'technological innovation + advanced manufacturing'.

In the second - half round - table dialogue, the discussion will focus on how to build an open and collaborative industrial symbiotic ecosystem for enterprises in different fields and of different scales, and how AI technology will reshape business logic and industrial patterns.

High - profile guests include representatives of fund investments in Dongguan Binhaiwan New Area, scientific research experts from AI research institutes, representatives of local mid - to - late - stage enterprises, startups, and decision - makers of well - known investment institutions in the industry.

When the wave of AIGC surges into the deep water area of the industry, finding scalable and profitable implementation scenarios has become the core proposition for all AI enterprises. Here, enterprises can not only share the manufacturing dividends but also draw on the spiritual strength of 'daring to be the first in the world' from a century ago. Dongguan Binhaiwan New Area is extending a sincere invitation from the Greater Bay Area to global AI enterprises with a pragmatic attitude and a complete ecosystem.
