About IEIIC

In a comprehensive effort to implement the "Guidelines on Deepening the ‘AI Plus’ Initiative," promote extensive and deep integration of artificial intelligence across all sectors of the economy and society, accelerate the development of new quality productive forces, and better support Chinese modernization, the International Cooperation Branch of the China Electronics Enterprises Association, in collaboration with the Zhejiang (Zhejiang University) Center for International Development and Governance, will organize the "IEIIC International Embodied Intelligence Innovation Competition" (hereafter referred to as "the Competition"). The Competition will be guided by the China Electronics Enterprises Association.

The Competition comprises three core parts: the Launch, the Competitive Events, and the Awards Ceremony & Industry Conference. It employs an open challenge model to source cutting-edge global solutions and projects. By integrating premium resources and innovative methods, the Competition aims to precisely connect global innovation with industrial demand, foster cross-border and cross-sector technological collaboration, and build strong momentum for scaling industries and establishing a world-class brand in embodied intelligence.
