GUi aligns with integrated development of Yangtze River Delta

The Grand Union of Innovation (GUi), an innovation hub in Hefei, East China's Anhui province, has led a group of companies to attend the 2026 Inclusion Conference on the Bund, which was held in Shanghai from Sept 9 to 12, as part of its efforts to align with the national strategy of integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta.

The conference, themed "Building the AI Economy Together", featured over 300 exhibitors in the 15,000-square-meter science and technology exhibition area and attracted more than 600 scholars, scientists, entrepreneurs, and investors. Among the highlights were numerous companies from GUi showcasing their cutting-edge technologies in the "Robot Town" section.

Notably, Anhui LindonBot Technology demonstrated its embodied-intelligence robot that integrates data collection, training, and inference, drawing significant attention. VSTC showcased its smart healthcare and wellness robots, particularly for elderly care, capitalizing on its BrainCSPACE system to enable complex robotic movements.

Meanwhile, Anywit Robotics presented its humanoid robot "Anni", which is capable of natural emotional interactions and has already entered educational settings.

To date, GUi hosts more than 7,300 tech enterprises and nearly 80,000 tech talents with entrepreneurial dreams, supported by a robust ecosystem that fosters technological and industrial innovation.

In terms of industrial layout, GUi has established a landscape of fostering multiple industries in parallel, including intelligent connected new energy vehicles, AI, low-altitude economy, quantum technology, embodied intelligence and brain-computer interfaces.

In terms of the service ecosystem, it has introduced an initiative called "Tech Talents Community" to create a conducive environment for sci-tech professionals worldwide. The initiative offers a tiered entrepreneurial support system covering both working and living conditions.

The GUi's integration into the Yangtze River Delta is further evidenced by its active participation in events to promote cooperation between the GUi and other cities in the region. These efforts underscore GUi's commitment to connecting Hefei's technological prowess with Shanghai's capital and market resources, creating a seamless bridge for innovation and industrial growth in the region.
