Maniformer, xFusion, Xindeco, and XMXYG Commercial Development have each signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Yuanqi. The partners will pool their strengths in technology R&D, computing hardware, digital services, and park operations to advance embodied AI development, data services, application scenarios, and industrial incubation.
Since setting up operations in the Xiamen FTZ a year ago, Yuanqi has moved quickly to commercialize embodied AI applications, expanding its team and business footprint at a rapid clip. The company has established R&D centers in multiple locations and a nationwide service network, surpassed 100 million yuan ($14.9 million) in orders, and begun exploring overseas markets.
From its new headquarters, Yuanqi plans to build a comprehensive innovation platform and work with industry partners to create an open, collaborative embodied AI ecosystem, positioning itself to capture the sector's growth opportunities.
