Eight enterprises based in Liangjiang, including the Kawasaki, will participate in the conference to demonstrate Liangjiang New Area's technical strength and scientific achievements.
Kawasaki is a world-leading robotics company. It is an industry leader in the development of a new robotics system integration project and robot construction base in Liangjiang Shuitu Industrial Park. It committed to a substantial financial investment on June 19. The investment commitment marks a notable step in the development of Chongqing's robotics industry.
Liangjiang is currently focusing on constructing itself into a manufacturing zone for robot units. The annual output value of the new area's robotics industry is expected to reach 30 million yuan ($4.71 million) by 2020.
