The Beijing World Robot Conference (WRC), under the theme “Cultivating New-Generation Productivity and Sharing a Smart Future,” will be accompanied by forums, an expo, competitions, and a range of ancillary events. Since its inaugural edition in 2015, the WRC has strengthened collaboration with the global scientific and industrial communities, advancing both the research and development of robotics technologies and their commercialization, thereby ensuring that robotic innovations and related pr
The Exhibition Value of the Beijing World Robot Conference (WRC)
- The WRC is the world’s largest and most influential comprehensive event in the robotics sector. Since its inception in 2015, it has been successfully held for ten editions, earning recognition as a leading indicator of global robotics technology trends and a catalyst for industry transformation. Co-hosted by the China Institute of Electronics and the International Federation for Robotics, the conference is the only national-level exhibition in China’s robotics field approved by the State Council, representing the latest trends and highest standards of the global robotics industry.
- The core value of participation lies in its role as a premier platform that brings together top-tier industry resources and cutting-edge technologies from around the globe. At the 2025 edition, more than 220 domestic and international robotics companies will showcase over 1,500 innovative solutions, with more than 100 new product launches. The number of full‑scale humanoid robot manufacturers will reach 50, setting a record among similar events. The professional audience comprises key decision‑makers, technical experts, and investment institutions across the global supply chain, providing exhibitors with a strategic gateway to connect with worldwide resources and gain insights into emerging industry trends.
- The exhibition establishes a one-stop commercial platform covering the entire robotics value chain. Exhibition areas span all stages—core components, complete machine manufacturing, system integration, and application scenarios—forming a closed-loop ecosystem encompassing hardware, algorithms, and real-world applications. At the 2025 event, innovation halls, application pavilions, and technology zones will collectively present a comprehensive technological landscape, ranging from precision reducers and dexterous hands to large AI models and embodied intelligence systems. Concurrently, the World Robot Competition will attract over 6,000 teams from more than ten countries, offering a specialized platform for technology validation and talent identification.
- Keeping pace with the industry trend of “embodied intelligence plus scenario implementation,” the exhibition fosters an innovation hub deeply integrating industry, academia, research, and end‑use applications. Under the theme “Making Robots Smarter, Empowering Embodiment,” the 2025 conference will debut an “Embodied Intelligence Robot 4S Store” and a robot-themed restaurant, elevating exhibits from mere displays to tangible products available for purchase. During the event, more than 400 distinguished experts and scholars will participate in high‑level forums, releasing authoritative reports such as the “2025 Trends in Embodied Intelligence Robotics” and the “Top Ten Potential Application Scenarios for Humanoid Robots in 2025.”
- For Chinese enterprises, this exhibition serves as a strategic gateway to showcase technological prowess, connect with global resources, and expand both domestic and international markets. During the 2025 edition, the inaugural “E‑Town Robot Consumer Festival” sold 19,000 robots and related products, generating sales exceeding RMB 200 million. JD.com, as the exclusive global strategic partner, was deeply involved, facilitating numerous B2B procurement deals on site. Participating companies can leverage this platform to access global sourcing networks and seize early opportunities in the development of the embodied intelligence industry.
