EAC at WAIC 2025: AI & Robotics Innovation on the Rise

Addie's recent post from the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) 2025 offers a crucial look into the dynamism of China's AI and robotics sectors. As a Munich-headquartered firm with a long-standing presence in international markets, EAC is uniquely positioned to analyze these developments and their impact on global business.

What we're seeing in China goes beyond a simple tech showcase. As Addie points out, this is a "productivity revolution" driven by a strategic, government-backed roadmap. The sheer scale of WAIC 2025 with its 70,000+ sqm footprint and 800+ exhibitors underscores China's commitment to becoming a global leader in "hard technology."

This is a concerted effort to foster a deep synergy between hardware and software, with a strong focus on real-world applications in areas like intelligent manufacturing and smart hardware.

For European businesses, this rapid ascent is a game-changer. China is not just a market; it's a rapidly maturing hub of innovation. The rise of players like Siemens and Tesla at WAIC, alongside hundreds of Chinese startups, signals a new era of both collaboration and competition. Understanding the nuances of China's AI roadmap, its overseas ambitions, and its strategic investments in technology is no longer optional, it's a necessity for anyone operating in a globalized economy.
