Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – The 2026 Shanghai Global Investment Promotion Conference was held in Shanghai on the 14th. At the conference, Shanghai launched 31 "new quality factors" (i.e., new quality productivity development factors) to support sectors such as artificial intelligence.
According to Tang Wenkan, Director of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization, these 31 "new quality factors" include 11 public service platforms, 10 specialized pilot-scale platforms, and 10 benchmark application scenarios.
These "new quality factors" are noteworthy. To address issues such as unstable performance of robot components, Shanghai has built a pilot-scale platform for humanoid robot components, constructing small-batch trial production lines for five types of components, including joint modules and reducers, providing 72 testing and verification methods to assist in process optimization.
Shanghai also launched the nation's first virtual-real integrated embodied intelligent training ground, providing data collection and technology verification services for humanoid robots. Hundreds of heterogeneous robots have already entered the training ground for practical training.
For high-quality corpora needed by model companies, the Shanghai Corpus Operation Platform focuses on key areas such as industrial manufacturing and embodied intelligence, aggregating 10,000 terabytes of data and connecting 100,000 developers both domestically and internationally.
Yan Junjie, founder and CEO of MiniMax, stated that as a Chinese AI large-scale model company active on the global stage, their experience lies in adhering to open source. "Because of open source, we have gained the trust of more users, leading to a significant increase in the usage of our models."
Shanghai's GDP is projected to reach 5.67 trillion yuan by 2025, ranking among the top five cities globally. This economic boom is also attracting increasing investment from foreign companies.
The Zeiss Greater China headquarters complex commenced construction in Shanghai this February, marking Zeiss's largest single infrastructure investment in China to date. Martin Fischer, President and CEO of Zeiss Greater China, stated at the conference that China is leading the industrial development of multiple sectors, offering vast market opportunities, and Shanghai's abundant pool of highly skilled talent is a key factor attracting companies.
