🤖 Imagine stepping into a 10,000-square-meter hall buzzing with robots, chatbots and AI demos. For the first time, the 22nd China-ASEAN Expo has a dedicated AI pavilion—the largest single-theme hall in its history—showcasing nearly 200 cutting-edge enterprises and innovations. More than half of the exhibits are AI-related or AI-enabled, making it the hottest spot on opening day.
Spanning 160,000 square meters, this year’s expo in Nanning, capital of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, brings together some 3,200 companies from 60 countries and regions. Visitors are also exploring new quality productive forces, the blue economy and foreign trade products across several themed zones.
The AI pavilion is a playground for tech lovers. From generative algorithms that craft art to edge computing solutions for smart factories, the showcase highlights how AI is revolutionizing industries. Interactive demos let attendees try voice-powered assistants, robotic arms and virtual reality experiences—all under one roof.
Beyond AI, the new quality productive forces zone focuses on sustainable manufacturing and green tech, while the blue economy area dives into marine resources and ocean-friendly innovations. Think solar-powered boats, eco-friendly seafood packaging and tropical fruit exports that support coastal communities. 🌊🍍
