The 2026 Global Embossed Intelligence Industry Chain Collaboration and Overseas Expansion Matchmaking Conference was successfully held in Shanghai.

On July 3, 2026, as one of the important concurrent events of the "Shanghai International Embossed Intelligence Industry Expo (CIEI 2026)," the "2026 Global Embossed Intelligence Industry Chain Collaboration and Overseas Expansion Matchmaking Conference" was successfully held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). With the core concept of "Global Collaboration, Connecting the World, Empowering the Future," this matchmaking conference was hosted by the Foreign Trade Development Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce, organized by Shanghai International Exhibition (Group) Co., Ltd., and supported by the Shanghai "Belt and Road" Comprehensive Service Center.

This matchmaking event brought together nearly 200 participants, including representatives from government agencies, business associations, demanders, and leading companies across China's embodied intelligence industry chain from Europe, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Oceania, and Africa. Through four main sections—policy interpretation, scenario release, demand matching, and trade negotiations—the event aimed to build an overseas service ecosystem encompassing "industry chain collaboration—scenario implementation—global channels," facilitating high-quality "going global" for China's embodied intelligence industry and fostering deep connections and win-win development with global partners.

Distinguished guests including Wang Deyang, Deputy Director of the Foreign Trade Development Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce of China, Qu Daokui, President of the China Electromechanical Integration Technology Application Association, and Xu Jia, President of Shanghai International Exhibition (Group) Co., Ltd., attended and delivered speeches, providing guidance for the embodied intelligence industry's overseas expansion from three dimensions: national strategy, industry collaboration, and local services.

Currently, embodied intelligence has become a strategic force driving global industrial transformation and the restructuring of the world economy. Leveraging its complete industrial chain, large-scale manufacturing capabilities, and innovative application scenarios, China is rapidly transforming from a "world factory" to a "global leader in intelligent manufacturing." This matchmaking event is a concrete practice of the national strategy to promote high-quality development of foreign trade, cultivate new productive forces, and deepen international production capacity cooperation, demonstrating China's responsibility as a major power in embracing global industrial collaboration with an open attitude.

Policy Support: A Four-Dimensional Service System to Solidify the Foundation for Enterprises Going Global

The matchmaking event focuses on the "pain points" and "bottlenecks" of enterprises going global, providing professional policy and service interpretations across four dimensions: policy support, financial support, legal services, and data empowerment. Di Rong, Deputy Director of the Trade and Investment Promotion Department of the Shanghai Council for the Promotion of International Trade, delivered a keynote speech entitled "From 'Going Global' to 'Going In'—Shanghai Trade Promotion Safeguards Enterprises' New Journey of Going Global," systematically interpreting Shanghai's innovative measures in trade facilitation, investment promotion, and international certification as a forefront of reform and opening up. Gong Jiantao, General Manager of the Cross-border Finance Department (Offshore Business Center) of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, shared "Cross-border Financial Service System Supporting Enterprises Going Global," providing enterprises with full-cycle funding guarantees for "going global." Yang Guang, Deputy Secretary-General of the Shanghai International Arbitration Center, provided compliance risk prevention and dispute resolution solutions for enterprises going global from the perspective of commercial arbitration. Zhang Mingjun, an expert from Shanghai Dun & Bradstreet Business Information Consulting Co., Ltd., spoke on "From Leading Intelligent Manufacturing to Global Trust: Data-Empowered Global Layout of Embodied Intelligence Enterprises," explaining the key role of data in empowering enterprises' global layout. The four-dimensional service system forms a collaborative support path of "government, industry, academia, research, and finance," providing enterprises with full-chain guarantees from policy to professional service implementation for going global.

Global Deployment: Overseas Scenario Launch, Precisely Matching Overseas Demands

The matchmaking event focused on key markets such as Europe, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Oceania, and Africa, releasing industry access strategies, application scenarios, and cooperation opportunities for embodied intelligence, achieving a precise match between "global demand" and "Chinese supply." Mr. Tawee Pawanakorn of the Thailand Association of Automation and Robotics provided an in-depth interpretation of "Thailand 4.0 and the Application Scenarios of Embodied Intelligence in the Southeast Asian Market"; Mr. Roberto D'Elia, President of the Swiss Humanoid Robotics Association and Chairman of the World Humanoid Robotics Competition, shared online "HRAS Switzerland: Compliance and Scenario Matching for Robots Going Global in Europe"; and Mr. Li Dong, Dean and Vice President of the Rockwell Automation Intelligent Manufacturing Innovation Research Institute, explained "From Automation to Embodied Intelligence: Global Collaboration and Scenario Implementation from the Perspective of Chain Leaders" from the perspective of a global automation leader.

Practical Matching: 10+ Demand Providers, 30+ Enterprises Precisely Matched, Fruitful Trade Negotiations

As the core component of the matchmaking event, the "Trade Matching" segment achieved efficient collaboration. Ten demand-side matching areas were set up on-site, including the Swiss Humanoid Robotics Association, the Thai Automation Robotics Association, the Shanghai Representative Office of the New South Wales International Bureau of Australia, Enterprise Singapore, Singapore F&F Industry, representative panel companies from the China Electronics Enterprises Association, Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence Technology (Qingdao) Co., Ltd., Huafa Technology Innovation Center, Shanghai Dun & Bradstreet Business Information Consulting Co., Ltd., and the China-Britain Business Council. More than 30 Chinese companies in the humanoid intelligent industry chain participated in in-depth negotiations, covering the entire industry chain from complete machine manufacturing, core components, sensing systems, and system integration. The matching adopted a "one-on-one, rotating negotiation" model to ensure efficient communication and precise matching between supply and demand sides. Several companies reached preliminary cooperation intentions on-site, involving multiple dimensions such as technology procurement, supply chain collaboration, overseas market expansion, and capital docking.

Ecosystem Extension: CIEI 2026 Matrix Empowers, Building a Long-Term Mechanism for Global Expansion

This matchmaking event is one of the key ecosystem activities of CIEI 2026. With the theme of "Embodied Innovation, Intelligent Future Creation," CIEI 2026, in its inaugural year, brought together nearly 200 leading companies in the industry, showcasing products covering the entire embodied intelligence industry chain. Nearly 20 activities were held concurrently, including a keynote conference, professional forums, supply and demand matchmaking, industry exchanges, and competitions. The successful hosting of the global expansion matchmaking event further enriched the platform functions of CIEI 2026 in "connecting global supply and demand and assisting enterprises in going global." At the meeting, the CIEI organizing committee released some of the demands. Subsequently, it will continue to release overseas demand information through the CIEI official website, WeChat official account, mini program and other channels. Relying on the "CIEI MATRIX" global matrix - which integrates CIEI EXPO, GDPS Global Developer Pioneer Conference and overseas scenario exhibitions, it will form an industry super matrix of "one core and multiple points, software and hardware combination, bi-quarter linkage and internal and external circulation" to provide long-term, normalized and global service support for Chinese intelligent companies to go global.

The successful hosting of the 2026 Global Embodied Intelligence Industry Chain Collaboration and Overseas Expansion Conference marks a significant milestone for China's embodied intelligence industry, signifying its leap from "product export" to "ecosystem export" and from "market participation" to "rule co-construction." With the strong support of the Foreign Trade Development Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce, China's embodied intelligence industry is deeply integrating into the global industrial and supply chains with a more open attitude, more pragmatic cooperation, and a more complete ecosystem, contributing Chinese wisdom, Chinese solutions, and Chinese strength to global economic recovery and industrial transformation.

CIEI 2026, held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), invites you to witness the dawn of embodied intelligence and create the next era of growth!
