A national-level honor has once again landed in Shenzhen. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently released the first batch of creation lists for National Emerging Industry Development Demonstration Bases, with 21 parks nationwide joining the national-level development echelon. The Shenzhen High-tech Industrial Development Zone Nanshan Park Intelligent Robot Demonstration Park was successfully selected. Two parks in Guangdong were chosen: the Shenzhen High-tech Industrial Development Zone Nanshan Park Intelligent Robot Demonstration Park was included in the "intelligent robot" field creation list, while the Guangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone was included in the "low-altitude equipment" field creation list. The Shenzhen High-tech Industrial Development Zone Nanshan Park Intelligent Robot Demonstration Park has a total planned area of 20.04 square kilometers, spanning four major areas: Shenzhen Bay, Liuxiandong, University Town, and Shibillong, forming a spatially complementary and gradient-linked layout, and building a "one valley, one bay" dual-pole driven development architecture. This creation effort can be called a "national unified examination" in the emerging industry field, using the four core indicators of "cluster development, collaborative innovation, ecological optimization, and governance improvement" as review criteria, covering all-dimensional assessments such as leading industry scale, R&D investment intensity, number of innovation platforms, industrial ecosystem support policies, and public service levels, with strict standards and fierce competition. From the perspective of distributed fields, the 21 parks cover 9 creation fields: software, biological manufacturing, low-altitude equipment, artificial intelligence, intelligent connected new energy vehicles, new energy storage manufacturing, intelligent robots, safety and emergency equipment, and commercial aerospace. Among them, the software field has the most parks. In addition, among the 112 enterprises in the first batch of enterprise-type National Emerging Industry Development Demonstration Base creation target list, a total of 5 Shenzhen enterprises were selected. Yuntian Lifei was included in the "artificial intelligence" field creation list, BYD was included in the "intelligent connected new energy vehicles" field creation list, and Huichuan Technology, UBTECH, and Pudu Technology were included in the "intelligent robots" field creation list. From the perspective of distributed fields, the 112 enterprises are distributed across 10 creation fields. Among them, biological manufacturing has 20, artificial intelligence has 18, and intelligent connected new energy vehicles has 17, ranking in the top three, totaling 55, accounting for 49.1%; new energy storage manufacturing has 15, intelligent robots has 14, and safety and emergency equipment has 10, forming the second tier; low-altitude equipment has 9, software has 4, clean low-carbon hydrogen has 3, and commercial aerospace has 2, with smaller numbers. From the perspective of distributed regions, the 112 enterprises are distributed across 23 provincial-level administrative regions; the 21 parks are distributed across 14 provincial-level administrative regions. A total of 23 provincial-level administrative regions appear on this batch of lists. The top three in total volume are Shandong with 12 (11 enterprises + 1 park), Sichuan with 11 (9 + 2), and Guangdong with 11 (9 + 2); Zhejiang and Jiangsu each have 10, Beijing has 9, Hubei and Hunan each have 8, and Shanghai and Fujian each have 7. From the accelerated gathering of enterprises in the "Robot Valley" to the unfolding of the "one valley, one bay" industrial layout, and then to entering the sequence of national-level demonstration base creation, why did Nanshan rank among the first batch nationwide? Through this list, one can see how an urban district transforms innovation advantages into industrial competitiveness. Upstairs and downstairs are upstream and downstream, and industrial clusters are accelerating their growth. In this application, Nanshan compared itself against the demonstration park evaluation indicators, systematically reviewed the foundations of enterprises, platforms, policies, and public services around the four aspects of cluster development, collaborative innovation, ecological optimization, and governance improvement, and compiled a creation application and work plan. These four dimensions also provide a yardstick for observing Nanshan. Placed in the province's industrial map, Nanshan's supporting role is equally clear. In January this year, the provincial industry and information technology work conference proposed the high-quality construction of three major artificial intelligence core industrial cluster zones: Guangzhou Pazhou, Shenzhen Nanshan, and Dongguan Binhai Bay. Intelligent robots are precisely an important focus for Nanshan in promoting the application of artificial intelligence technology to industry. Looking toward northern Nanshan, the outline of industrial clustering is becoming clearer. Data shows that Shenzhen's "Robot Valley" has gathered more than 200 robot industry chain enterprises and 32 specialized and innovative "little giant" enterprises. Within an area of about 28 square kilometers, 90% of components can be deployed within half an hour. The dense growth of enterprises has made this valley an important carrying area for Shenzhen's robot industry. The value of clustering is reflected in the increasingly close connections among R&D, manufacturing, and supporting services. For a robot to complete perception, judgment, and action, it needs the joint support of algorithms, sensors, motion control, mechanical structures, and other links. Whether partners are nearby, whether technical feedback is timely, and whether prototypes can be iterated quickly all affect the speed at which products reach the market. In May this year, the Zhongqing Intelligent Manufacturing (Shenzhen Honghualing) base was put into use, and the first batch of T800 humanoid robots rolled off the production line. At the Nanshan Smart Manufacturing Honghualing base, Suteng Juchuang and Zhongqing became "upstairs and downstairs" neighbors, carrying out collaborative R&D between lidar and humanoid robots. "Upstairs and downstairs are upstream and downstream" transforms spatial proximity into convenience for industrial collaboration. For Nanshan, which is tightly constrained by land resources, allowing limited space to accommodate more complete industrial links is also an exploration of seeking efficiency from space and collaboration. From laboratory to application end, letting innovation connect to the industrial chain. What also supports these enterprises' growth is science and education resources. Universities and institutes are concentrated in the Xili Lake International Science and Education City, providing talent and scientific research support for the robot industry. From technological exploration in laboratories to product R&D in enterprises, and then to feedback at the application end, whether innovation can flow smoothly determines the quality of growth of industrial clusters. In August this year, the ninth Party Congress of Nanshan District proposed to enhance the innovation level of the northern Xili Lake area, aiming at frontier tracks such as artificial intelligence and embodied intelligence; to lay out proof-of-concept centers and pilot testing platforms, and build a full-process flexible shared factory integrating R&D design, pilot maturation, and large-scale production. These deployments focus on opening up key links in achievement transformation, promoting technology from "can be made" to "can be used well" through verification, trial production, and repeated improvement. Shared platforms are expected to provide enterprises with more convenient transformation conditions, making scientific research and industry more closely connected. The government work report at the first session of the ninth People's Congress of Nanshan District proposed to build a high-standard "Robot Valley," focus on developing advantageous industries such as intelligent terminals, intelligent sensors, and intelligent robots, tackle core components such as semiconductors and integrated circuits, integrated joints, high-performance servo motors, and high-precision reducers, and develop complete embodied intelligent robots for manufacturing, special, livelihood, and commercial fields. Beyond technology, robots also need to enter real scenarios. In June this year, at the first Bay Area Wanxiang Science and Technology Festival, scenarios such as robot performances, handling displays, and intelligent patrols brought cutting-edge technology into commercial districts, allowing citizens to experience robot products up close. Interaction in commercial districts opens a window for the public to understand robots, while the longer-term task is to let robots undertake actual tasks in factories, service venues, and daily life. The more specific the scenario and the clearer the demand, the easier it is for enterprises to find directions for technological improvement. To this end, Nanshan continues to carry out "open competition" for robot application scenarios, connecting actual demand with enterprise technology. The third batch of results announced in June this year covers needs such as library services, flexible manufacturing line operations for intelligent terminals, and subway logistics distribution. At the same time, through the "Hundred Scenarios into the Chain" scenario co-construction activity, robot enterprises are organized to have face-to-face exchanges with commercial districts, seeking cooperation opportunities around service needs and product adaptation, so that enterprises have scenarios to test and demands to undertake.
