2026 AI Partner: The Beijing Yizhuang AI+ Industry Conference is About to Begin! Key Highlights to Look Forward To!

As the AI industry transitions from “technological possibilities” to “industrial necessities,” a major event focused on practical applications is set to unfold in the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Area (commonly known as Beijing E-town or Yizhuang). This conference aims to create a platform for the deep integration of artificial intelligence and the real economy.

On May 19-20, the “2026 AI Partner: Beijing Yizhuang AI+ Industry Conference,” guided by the Beijing E-town Management Committee, hosted by 36Kr, and organized by the National Information and Innovation Park, will take place at the Tongming Lake Exhibition Center in Beijing E-town. The theme of this year’s conference is “Taking AI to the Frontline,” and it aims to facilitate a profound collision between AI technology and industrial needs, establishing a practical platform for industry exchange and collaboration.

Three Major Highlights to Anticipate

Highlight 1: From Understanding to Practice – Two Days of Insightful Discussions on AI Implementation Challenges

The main forum of the conference features a two-day progressive agenda. The first day will concentrate on industry trends, technological directions, and the experiences of pioneers, aiding participants in clarifying feasible paths and potential risks associated with the implementation of AI. The second day will tackle practical challenges such as technology selection, product definition, organizational adaptation, and talent strategies.

The agenda is interconnected, addressing core concerns of various industry stakeholders from understanding to practical application. During the practical sharing sessions, industry leaders from BOE Technology Group, UBTECH, Galaxy Universal, Holystone, SF Technology, and Double Deer Battery will present case studies on robotic services, smart supply chains, and AI-driven full-chain reconstruction, showcasing the latest evolutionary forms of AI in real-world settings.

Representatives from organizations such as Wuyue AI, 36Kr, and Shenzhen Huayi Digital will host several impactful roundtable forums, collaborating with practical experts from Jinzhihui, Galaxy Futures, Quwan Technology, and Zuoyi Technology to deeply dissect transformation cases in vertical industries. Additionally, pioneering companies like Baidu Health, Inbo Digital, Adip, Yanjie Microelectronics, and Luyu Technology will share hard-hitting experiences covering C2M personalized customization, value conversion of computing power, and AI transformation in traditional industries, providing both on-site and online audiences with replicable practical roadmaps.

Highlight 2: Three Major Releases to Set Industry Benchmarks

During the conference, several significant achievements will be announced. On the morning of May 19, the “2026 Best AI Scene Penetration Cases” will be officially released. This selection, initiated earlier in the year, encompasses dozens of sectors, including smart manufacturing, content production, financial healthcare, and public services, evaluated by a panel of 14 experts from industry, academia, and research, focusing on quantifiable investment returns achieved in frontline industries.

On the morning of May 20, the conference will collaborate with PureblueAI to unveil the “2026 AI Recommendation Power List for Consumer Brands,” providing businesses with referential benchmarks for content strategies and commercial growth in the AI era. It will also reveal the “2026 Best AI Scene Penetration Cases: Special Tribute Award,” which includes categories for “Lighthouse” and “Barrier Breaker,” aimed at recognizing pioneers who have led exploration and practical investment in AI applications during the industry’s early development stages.

Highlight 3: Direct Engagement Between Supply and Demand – Four Subvenues for Precise Matchmaking

Addressing the industry’s most pressing demand gaps, the conference will establish a “World Coffee” matchmaking area and set up four subvenues focusing on: “AI + Science and Technology: From ‘Hypothesis Driven’ to ‘Data and Computation Driven’,” “AI + Industrial Development: From ‘Automation’ to ‘Intelligent Decision Making’,” “AI + Consumer Quality Improvement: From ‘One Size Fits All’ to ‘Personalized Real-Time Services’,” and “AI + Public Welfare: Bridging Service Gaps for ‘Universal Accessibility’.” Industry representatives will act as “table leaders” to publish demand lists, while technology providers will respond on-site with their capabilities, enabling precise supply-demand matching and facilitating mutual engagement between technology and applications.

As a major hub for high-end industries in the capital and a primary platform for the construction of the Beijing International Science and Technology Innovation Center, Beijing E-town is strategically focused on building a “City of Artificial Intelligence” and positioning AI as a core engine for fostering new productive forces and shaping new development advantages. This initiative aims to comprehensively and deeply empower industrial development, urban governance, and public welfare through technology.

With over 600 core enterprises in the AI industry chain and an industrial scale surpassing 80 billion yuan, Beijing E-town has gathered the first AI innovation district in Beijing, known as “Modular World.” The specially designed modular OPC community for “one-person companies” and super individuals addresses the core pain points of lacking tools, funding, scenarios, and services, attracting 20 OPCs to fully settle in. As the first region in the country to promote AI scenario applications at a city level, it is establishing an open scenario framework and implementing a “lift the banner and take the lead” mechanism, encouraging government agencies, enterprises, and various sectors to open AI application scenarios for collaborative technical research and large model applications, with over 100 scenarios identified across 45 fields.

Transitioning from “technological possibilities” to “industrial necessities,” and from “point breakthroughs” to “comprehensive empowerment,” Beijing E-town adopts an open and pragmatic approach to explore a replicable “Yizhuang Path” for the deep integration of artificial intelligence and the real economy. From May 19-20 at the Tongming Lake Exhibition Center in Beijing E-town, we look forward to your participation in this practical rendezvous between AI and industry.
