In July 2026, ZhiJi Dynamics completed nearly $200 million in Pre-IPO round financing. The Shenzhen company, founded just four years ago, raised $400 million within six months, with a post-investment valuation of 15 billion yuan. Earlier, the valuation of Zixinzi Intelligent’s enterprise exceeded 20 billion yuan, while Kuawei Intelligent entered the “billion-yuan club”—in just one month, multiple Shenzhen robotics companies closed large rounds of financing in a concentrated burst. Looking across the country, Shenzhen’s robotics industry is especially eye-catching: in 2025, its total industrial output value reached 242.6 billion yuan, up 20.56%, hitting a historic high. Both industrial output value, the total number of companies, the number of listed companies, and venture-funding events ranked first nationwide. In just the Nanshan District’s Robotic Valley, more than 200 companies in the industrial chain are clustered, including 32 “specialized, refined, unique, and innovative” “little giant” enterprises. From Nanshan’s “Robotic Valley” to Longgang’s “Robotics district,” from mass production rolling off 10,000 units to opening up scenarios across the entire region, Shenzhen is speeding up its push to become the “No. 1 city for humanoid robots.” (Economic Information Daily)
