Revealing the Agenda: Highlights of the 2026 Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Innovation Industry Conference

Currently, artificial intelligence technology is transitioning from a phase of “technical breakthroughs” to one of “large-scale applications.” Robotics, as the core medium for AI implementation, has become deeply integrated into urban services, industrial manufacturing, healthcare, and consumer life. It is now a strategic engine driving the development of new productive forces. Since 2025, breakthroughs in technologies such as large models, embodied intelligence, and human-machine collaboration have accelerated, leading to an ongoing expansion of application scenarios and an exponential growth in the industrial ecosystem.

Major global economies have elevated the AI and robotics industries to a national strategic level. China’s “Opinions on Deepening the Implementation of the ‘Artificial Intelligence +’ Initiative” explicitly calls for promoting the deep integration of AI with the real economy. Capital, talent, and technology are rapidly converging in this field, injecting strong momentum into industrial innovation. However, challenges such as breakthroughs in core technologies, cost control, standardization, and ecological collaboration still hinder industrial development.

To build an innovative ecosystem that deeply integrates government, industry, academia, and research, as well as to foster industry consensus and promote the transformation of technology and application scenarios, the “Intelligent Leading Future: 2026 Artificial Intelligence Applications and Robotics Innovation Industry Conference” will be held during the 2026 Beijing International Artificial Intelligence Applications and Robotics Innovation Expo. This conference focuses on insights into cutting-edge trends, showcases innovative achievements, and enhances the construction of the industrial ecosystem, facilitating a deeper integration of artificial intelligence with the real economy at broader, deeper, and higher levels to inject new momentum into the development of the global intelligent economy.

The “Intelligent Leading Future” series of events on artificial intelligence in Beijing is spearheaded by the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission and the Zhongguancun Management Committee. The goal is to integrate Beijing’s resources and talent advantages in AI innovation and entrepreneurship, create brand events, promote in-depth exchanges between industry, academia, and research, and stimulate ongoing momentum for the development of Beijing’s AI industry, serving as a significant platform to support the innovation industry conference and jointly open a new chapter in the large-scale application of AI.

The conference will gather top experts, business leaders, and innovative teams from around the world. Through keynote speeches, roundtable forums, and technology demonstrations, participants will explore the latest advancements in AI and robotics technologies, application scenarios, and future trends. This will promote the transformation of technological achievements and industrial upgrades, contributing to the development of the global intelligent economy with insights from China.
