Guided by the People's Government of Guangdong Province, the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and the Government of the Macao Special Administrative Region, and hosted by the Department of Commerce of Guangdong Province, the People's Government of Zhuhai City, the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau of Hong Kong, and the Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute, the 4th Greater Bay Area Service Trade Conference is scheduled to be held in Zhuhai from October 31 to November 2, 2025. This conference will focus on high-quality development of service trade, the construction of a leading zone for digital trade, helping enterprises "go global", and promoting in-depth integration of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, aiming to build the Greater Bay Area Service Trade Conference into a regional and professional brand exhibition.
The 3rd Greater Bay Area Service Trade Conference in 2024 attracted 111 overseas purchasers from 28 countries and regions around the world, 80% of whom were senior executives at the general manager level or above, with a total procurement demand of 11 billion yuan. Through a precise matching mechanism, the conference organized 500 exhibitors to conduct 700 B2B negotiations with purchasers, and finally reached 113 cooperation intentions with an intended signing amount of 4 billion yuan, fully demonstrating the effectiveness of the platform's resource integration.
To implement the *Guiding Opinions on Innovation and Development of Humanoid Robots* issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China, Guangdong Province has introduced special policies in 2025, such as the *2025 Action Plan for Building a Modern Industrial System in Guangdong Province* and the *Several Policies and Measures for Promoting Innovation and Development of Artificial Intelligence and Robot Industry in Guangdong Province*. It plans to invest 1 trillion yuan (with 50% allocated to the manufacturing industry) to launch 1,500 key projects, aiming to build a global highland for humanoid robot innovation and a 100-billion-yuan market by 2035. Zhuhai City responded promptly and released the *Several Measures for Promoting High-Quality Development of Artificial Intelligence and Robot Industry* on May 23, 2025. A series of measures have been taken to promote the high-quality development of the robot industry, including the establishment of 500 million yuan "computing power vouchers", 100 million yuan "model vouchers", and special support for the "unveiling and taking command" program with a maximum of 30 million yuan.
As an innovative highlight of the 4th Service Trade Conference, the "2025 Greater Bay Area Tomorrow Era Humanoid Robot Industry Exhibition" focuses on terminal applications in service and consumption scenarios. It is the first international professional exhibition in China with "service trade + humanoid robots" as its core. The exhibition deeply connects service formats such as public security, medical care, education, family consumption, hotels, and logistics, gathers global industrial chain leaders and professional purchasers, and features "internationalization, scenarization, and commercialization". It provides an intelligent carrier for the digital transformation of service trade, promotes the transition of humanoid robots from technological research and development to large-scale implementation, and builds an innovative demonstration platform integrating service trade and hard technology.
