A few forums, symposiums, competitions and exhibitions will be arranged as platforms for speeches, idea exchanges and product display. The focus of the summit will be on bridging the gaps between industry, education, and research.

The China Robot Summit has been successfully held each year since 2014. It is an active response to the country's call to develop artificial intelligence.

The city of Yuyao has concentrated on the development of intelligent economy for years and was elected as a pilot county-level city of Zhejiang's "Made in China 2025" plan. Hosting the China Robot Summit will further contribute to local industry by attracting talent and innovative ideas.
