On the afternoon of November 20, the Guangdong Provincial People’s Government issued the “Construction Plan for the National Digital Economy Innovation Development Experimental Zone in Guangdong Province (2025-2027)”, aiming to create three trillion-level digital industry clusters with international competitiveness by 2027, with the core AI industry scale exceeding 440 billion yuan and computing power exceeding 60 EFLOPS (operations per second). The plan also mentions actively promoting the innovative development of the AI and robotics industries, launching the “AI +” initiative and the “Robotics +” initiative.——By 2027, the core AI industry scale will exceed 440 billion, computing power will reach 60 EFLOPS, and 50 million yuan will be allocated as subsidies for individual projects!
Behind this is the explosive growth of the global AI + robotics industry:
·Global Market: The International Federation of Robotics (IFR) predicts that by 2027, the global industrial robotics market will reach 120 billion USD, with China accounting for over 45%, maintaining its position as the world’s largest market;
·AI Penetration Rate: In 2024, the global AI penetration rate in industrial robots is only 30%, expected to soar to 55% by 2027—— AI transforms robots from “mechanical arms” into “thinking assistants”, improving precision by 30% and doubling efficiency;
·Guangdong’s Significance: As the largest manufacturing province in the country, Guangdong accounts for 30% of the national robot production, with over 1,500 core AI enterprises, and policy dividends will directly ignite the local industrial chain!

Conclusion:
1.Policy Dividends Directly Landed: Guangdong 50 million yuan project subsidies + scene expansion, leading enterprises can receive real financial support (for example, Estun has already received 12 million yuan in subsidies from Guangdong in 2024);
2.Huge Space for Domestic Substitution: The domestic production rate of core components for robots is less than 50%, with leaders like Harmonic Drive and Inovance Technology rapidly seizing the market;
3.Technological Integration Creates Value: AI transforms robots from “mechanical tools” into “intelligent assistants”, and companies with dual-track operations are more competitive than those with single business models (for example, iFlytek’s AI + service robot combination).
Guangdong’s policy dividends are the “catalyst” for the AI + robotics industry, but ultimately, the winners will be the leading enterprises with technological barriers and strong scene implementation capabilities. For investors, long-term investment in hardcore players and short-term focus on companies with rapid policy implementation will be the way to profit from this wave!
