In recent years, Foshan Hi-tech Zone has been pushing forward the development of new industries such as industrial robots, new energy vehicles and hydrogen energy. For example, in the field of industrial robots, a number of manufacturing enterprises have settled down in the Hi-tech Zone. China (Guangdong) Robotic Innovation Center, Foshan Nanhai Guangdong Technology University CNC Equipment Cooperation Innovation Institute and Foshan Institute of Intelligent Equipment Technology also have been built as important carriers for the development of the robotic industry.
