From November 5 to 7, the finals of the 9th China (Jinan) New Kinetic Energy Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition concluded successfully. This year's competition attracted nearly 4,200 project entries, with 230 top-tier projects advancing to the finals after rigorous rounds of selection. Li Siqiao, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Beijing Fangshi Robotics Co., Ltd., competed with an “Embodied AI + Large Model”solution for the construction sector and ultimately won First Prize.

This year's competition covered high-caliber sci-tech innovation projects across five major sectors: high-end equipment and intelligent construction, electronic information and high-end software, modern medicine and biomanufacturing, advanced materials and new energy equipment, and modern agriculture and green environmental protection. Bringing together innovation and entrepreneurship resources from home and abroad, the event featured broad competition dimensions and high-caliber entries. Securing First Prize among such a strong field of contenders fully demonstrates Fangshi Robotics' technological edge and commercialization capabilities in intelligent construction.

Speech by Dr. Li Siqiao

Dr. Li Siqiao, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Beijing Fangshi Robotics Co., Ltd., introduced that Fangshi Robotics focuses on the R&D, manufacturing, and practical deployment of robotics for construction scenarios, backed by years of technical R&D and domestic and international delivery experience. Currently, the company has achieved commercial mass production and raised over RMB 100 million in cumulative funding. It has independently developed nine mature construction robot models covering four core construction scenarios: concrete floor construction, interior wall finishing, interior floor tile laying, and engineering measurement. Fangshi Robotics provides long-term intelligent construction solutions to global general contractors, academic institutions, and construction enterprises, with several new models currently under iterative R&D.

Leveraging solid technical accumulation and deployment capabilities, Fangshi Robotics has established its headquarters in Beijing and built manufacturing and service systems across Suzhou, Huzhou, Foshan, and other cities, forming a mature nationwide delivery and O&M service network.

During the event, Fangshi Robotics formally signed a settlement agreement with the Jinan Start-up Area government. Taking advantage of the momentum from this competition win, the company also officially announced its new strategic layout: establishing a presence in the Jinan Start-up Area to build its largest domestic construction robot manufacturing base.

Speaking on the original motivation behind establishing a presence in Jinan, Li Siqiao, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Beijing Fangshi Robotics Co., Ltd., stated: “Jinan boasts well-established industrial policies for intelligent construction, rich application scenarios, and a vibrant sci-tech innovation ecosystem, making it an ideal place for intelligent construction enterprises to take root and grow. Leveraging the high-caliber platform of this innovation and entrepreneurship competition, the company has further deepened its industrial alignment with Jinan.”

Looking ahead, the company will accelerate the construction of the manufacturing base and expand production capacity, deeply integrate with local construction engineering scenarios in Jinan, and continuously advance the intelligent and digital upgrading of construction operations. Leveraging Jinan's industrial advantages, Fangshi Robotics will expand into both domestic and international markets, go all out to fulfill orders from home and abroad, and continuously empower the intelligent construction sector and the transformation and upgrading of Jinan's construction industry.
