On July 11 Guangdong provincial government signed a comprehensive strategic
cooperation agreement with JD.com; JD.com broke ground the same day on its first

about 190,000 sq m of gross floor area and targets three segments—robotics core
components, full-system manufacturing and high-end intelligent equipment—with
emphasis on embodied intelligence, industrial robots, service robots and
upstream/downstream supply‑chain firms.
