Pakistan explores partnerships with Chinese robotic enterprises at Beijing’s conference

The 2026 World Robot Conference (WRC 2026), held here at the Beiren Etrong International
Exhibition and Convention Center E-Town, concluded with record-breaking international
participation, solidifying China’s role as a global epicenter for embodied AI and smart
manufacturing.
Pakistan in the conference, explored partnerships with leading Chinese robotic enterprises
at the conference.
Held from Aug. 19 to 23 under the theme “Human-Robot Symbiosis, Production-Demand
Convergence,” the conference brought together more than 300 exhibiting companies and
showcased over 3,000 innovative products, with 311 new products unveiled, China Economic
Net (CEN) reported.
The event also received support from nearly 30 international organizations, while international
guests accounted for about 30 percent of the main forum’s participants.
Alexender from Spain told China Economic Net that China’s increasingly convenient access
for international travelers is another factor. Expanded visa-free arrangements and streamlined
entry policies have contributed to a broader influx of foreign visitors to China in 2026, making
it easier for international technology enthusiasts and businesspeople to attend major events.
Fatimah Noor from Malaysia said that one reason the event has seen stronger foreign interest
this year is the rapid evolution of China’s robotics sector from laboratory demonstrations
toward practical commercial applications.

Muhammad Ali, a Pakistani visitor, said that for Pakistan, the conference underscored vast new
frontiers under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) Phase II, which emphasizes
high-tech collaboration, industrial upgrading, and digital modernization.
Pakistani tech delegations, researchers, and trade representatives actively explored
partnerships with leading Chinese robotic enterprises.
As the conference concludes, Beijing E-Town continues to solidify its role as a global robotics
hub, fostering open innovation that benefits partners worldwide, including those along the
Belt and Road.
