During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, the penetration rate of industrial robots in China will significantly increase, service robots will continue to evolve, and humanoid robots will shift from resource-driven to market-driven. Authoritative institutions predict that the scale of China's robot industry will grow to approximately 400 billion yuan. Amid the tide of global economic integration and regional coordinated development, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, as one of the important engines of China's economic development, shoulders a significant national strategic mission and plays a profound role in promoting high-quality economic growth, regional coordinated development, and enhancing international competitiveness. Guangdong has released 12 powerful policies to boost development. As the only region in the world that simultaneously gathers mechatronics technology and artificial intelligence technology, the Greater Bay Area has comprehensively covered the entire robot industry chain, from components to complete machines and application scenarios, aiming to build a world-class robot industrial cluster.

Given the vigorous development of the robot industry in the Asia-Pacific region, Guangdong, as the world's largest robot application market, the German Hannover Messe Group will bring IRE to Guangzhou, China in 2025 and jointly create an international exhibition and conference with the 5A-level association, Guangdong Robot Association. With professionalism and internationalization, we will spare no effort to promote the development of the robot industry. As a global exhibition group, Hannover Messe is not only professional but also deeply involved in the development of intelligent manufacturing and the robot industry. We will further promote the formation of a new pillar industry with high technology, high growth, and large scale, and help promote the development of the robot industry to become an important pillar industrial cluster in Guangzhou's future.

As the core of the Greater Bay Area, Guangdong Province has a complete robot industrial chain, covering all aspects from research and development, manufacturing, sales to services. Its rapid development is attributed to the strong support of the government and the vigorous market demand. With the integration and application of cutting-edge technologies such as 5G and artificial intelligence, Guangdong's robot industry is accelerating towards intelligence and efficiency, and is expected to become an important base for the global robot industry. With the in-depth advancement of the "Robot +" strategy, robot technology has been widely applied in various scenarios, effectively promoting industrial upgrading and the formation and development of new productive forces. The 2026 Guangzhou International Intelligent Robot Exhibition will serve as a key platform and showcase window, presenting the latest technological achievements of the entire robot industry chain worldwide.
