The event was themed "Gathering New Productivity in the Intelligent Era and Jointly Building a New Pattern for the Development of Embodied Intelligence" and was presided over by Yu Jian, the Vice - President of the China Information Association. It brought together authoritative representatives from multiple fields including government, industry, academia, research, and finance. Focusing on the construction of the embodied intelligence industry - finance ecosystem, in - depth exchanges were carried out on key issues such as core technology breakthroughs, the creation of a full - chain ecosystem, the exploration of replicable models, and the paths for industry - finance collaboration.

During this event, the Embodied Intelligence Professional Committee of the China Information Association was officially unveiled, further building a bridge for resource integration, promoting the embodied intelligence industry from technological breakthroughs to scenario implementation, and providing solid support for the industry's development.

II. Joint Efforts in Industry - Finance Collaboration to Promote a New Process of Embodied Intelligence Industrialization

The event was divided into four stages. The first stage focused on "National Strategy and Industrial Mission". Wang Jinping, the President of the China Information Association, said in his speech that 2025 is a milestone year for the development of the embodied intelligence industry, which has officially entered the fast - lane of the national strategic layout. The Embodied Intelligence Professional Committee shoulders the mission and responsibility of promoting the collaboration among government, industry, academia, research, application, and finance. It will provide support for breaking through bottleneck technologies, building a full - chain ecosystem, and creating replicable models. With three guarantees of policy interpretation, resource docking, and brand promotion, it will help member units seize development opportunities, promote the high - quality development of China's embodied intelligence industry, and enable it to step onto the international stage.

In the keynote speech session of the second stage, Zhang Jing'an, an academician of the International Eurasian Academy of Sciences, a former member of the Leading Party Members' Group of the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the former President of the Science and Technology Daily, pointed out in his speech "Technological Innovation Drives the Accelerated Development of New Digital Productivity" that embodied intelligence is the key carrier for artificial intelligence to integrate into the real economy and the core means to develop new productivity. He emphasized that China has shifted from following technology to leading the ecosystem and is promoting the inclusive development of global artificial intelligence through open - source models and application scenario innovation.

Sun Lining, a foreign academician of the Russian Academy of Engineering, the Dean of the Suzhou Collaborative Innovation Medical Robot Research Institute, and the Deputy Director of the Embodied Intelligence Professional Committee, gave a speech titled "New Productivity and Innovation Ecosystem Construction of Embodied Intelligent Robots". Combining the background of bottleneck technologies in the manufacturing industry, labor shortages, and an aging population, he elaborated on the key technologies of embodied intelligence and emphasized the necessity of building a national collaborative ecosystem;

Wang Jinqiao, the Deputy Chief Engineer of the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chairman of Zhongke Zidong Taichu, and the Deputy Director of the Embodied Intelligence Professional Committee, in his speech "Zidong Taichu Embodied Large - Scale Model - A New Paradigm of Human - Machine Collaboration", around the development history and direction of the Zidong Taichu multi - modal large - scale model, pointed out that the embodied intelligence brain faces problems such as data scarcity and fragmented scenarios. He emphasized the need to integrate simulation and real scenarios to build a training and verification field, achieve data closed - loop, human - machine collaboration, and skill generalization, and promote unified standards to lay the foundation for industrial implementation;

Wei Qi, the Managing Director of CICC Capital, interpreted "A Brief Analysis of the Embodied Intelligence Industry - Research and Practice Based on Market - Oriented Investment Institutions" from the perspective of capital. He predicted that embodied intelligence will become a trillion - level track after intelligent vehicles, with a market size of up to 24.7 trillion yuan in 2050. China has development advantages, and CICC will empower the industrialization process with capital;

Xu Ningyi, a tenured professor at the Qingyuan Research Institute of Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the CEO of Huixi Intelligence, emphasized the key role of an expandable computing power engine in his speech "The Future Computing Paradigm of Embodied Intelligence". He proposed that the future paradigm of embodied intelligence is Software 3.0, which will approach general artificial intelligence through natural language programming.

Wang Bin, the Chairman of EqualOcean, analyzed the four major application scenarios of scientific research, industry, business, and family in his speech "Insights into the Development Plan and Scenario Applications of China's Embodied Intelligence Industry". He pointed out that the current industry faces challenges such as insufficient generalization ability and commercial returns not reaching the mass - production threshold, and called for accelerating the formulation of industry standards.

At the unveiling and signing ceremony of the third stage, the Embodied Intelligence Professional Committee of the China Information Association was officially established. Academician Guo Lei was elected as the first - term director, Wei Hongxing, the Dean of the Institute of Embodied Intelligent Robotics of Beihang University, served as the deputy director and secretary - general, and Sun Lining and Wang Jinqiao served as deputy directors. Wang Jinping, the President of the China Information Association, and Wei Hongxing jointly unveiled the Embodied Intelligence Professional Committee.

Wei Hongxing introduced that the professional committee is a non - profit platform serving the country's digital governance. With the concept of "openness, sharing, cooperation, and win - win", it aims to build a full - industry - chain ecosystem and will carry out work in six major directions: "think - tank empowerment, standard leadership, industry - chain progress, training foundation, legal and regulatory protection, and capital support".

At the signing session, the China Information Association and China General Consulting & Investment Co., Ltd. signed a strategic cooperation memorandum. The strong alliance between the two not only reflects the strategic depth of the Embodied Intelligence Professional Committee of the China Information Association and General Consulting but also demonstrates a positive response to the country's development strategy of "integration of digital and real economies".

Subsequently, five enterprises including AUBO Intelligence, Shengshi Tian'an, Nine Chapters Cloud Pole, Kankan Technology, and Huixi Intelligence signed an ecological cooperation agreement around the construction of an embodied intelligent robot training ground;

The Beijing Branch of China CITIC Bank also introduced a full - life - cycle financial service plan for embodied intelligence enterprises, covering a variety of loan products and providing "investment - loan linkage" services relying on the group's advantages.

The fourth stage was a round - table dialogue session, hosted by Ji Pengfei, the Deputy Secretary - General of the Embodied Intelligence Professional Committee of the China Information Association.
