Ready for a sneak peek of tomorrow? 🤖🚗 The World Smart Industry Expo 2025 just launched in the Chinese mainland's southwestern Chongqing Municipality, showcasing a lineup of AI-powered innovations that could change how we live, move and play in the next decade.
Under the theme "Pooling together wisdom and strength," this four-day showcase brings together over 600 top domestic and international players across a massive 130,000 m² of indoor halls and 40,000 m² of outdoor zones. It's like CES meets a high-tech carnival! 🎪
Here's what's on display:
- 🚀 Intelligent Connected NEVs: Think of electric cars with brains—New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) equipped with smart sensors and autopilot features.
- 🏙️ Digital Cities: From smart traffic management to energy-efficient streetlights, cityscapes are getting a tech upgrade.
- 🤖 Intelligent Robotics: Robots that can assist in manufacturing, healthcare and even household chores.
- 🚁 Low-Altitude Economy: Drones and flying taxis ready to reshape logistics and urban transport.
- 🏠 Smart Homes: AI-driven home systems that learn your routines—like brewing masala chai before you wake up!
More than 100 new industry standards and 3,000+ innovations are set to debut. Plus, six professional competitions, including the 2025 RoboCup Asia-Pacific Chongqing Invitational, are lighting up the arena with robot battles and coding challenges. 🎮💡
Beyond the demos, the expo is a hotspot for deals: nearly 300 major projects are expected to be inked, with contracts topping 200 billion yuan (around $28 billion). That’s serious 🚀 investment fueling our AI-driven future.
Last month, the Chinese mainland issued a guideline to deepen its "AI Plus" initiative, aiming for smart terminals and systems in 70% of key sectors by 2027. By 2035, an AI-powered intelligent economy and society should be in full swing.
With over 5,000 enterprises holding AI patents and a market set to top 700 billion yuan (roughly $98 billion) in 2025, the Chinese mainland is leading the pack. For tech lovers from Dhaka to Jakarta, this expo is a must-watch glimpse at the smart, connected world ahead. 🌏✨
