Over 120 Shenzhen AI firms made a strong showing at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai on July 17th. Leading companies including Huawei, Tencent and ZTE spearheaded the delegation, joined by a large number of fast-growing technology innovators, showcasing Shenzhen's strength in AI.

In 2025, Shenzhen's AI core industries exceeded 220 billion yuan in scale, with the number of enterprises above the designated size surpassing 2,600. From AI computing chips and algorithm frameworks to large language models (LLMs), and software and hardware applications, Shenzhen has built a full-stack AI industrial chain.

Leveraging the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area's globally unique ecosystem featuring the integration of smart vehicles, machinery, electronics and the AI industrial supply chain, Shenzhen has achieved rapid development in end‑use products such as smartphones, smart glasses, autonomous vehicles and intelligent robots. The city has accelerated the product iteration cycle from "design in the morning, prototype in the afternoon, mass production the next day, and overseas market entry within a week."

Computing power and data serve as the "lifeblood" and "backbone" of AI. Shenzhen has taken an early lead nationwide in these areas. The country's first 10,000-card fully self-controlled intelligent computing cluster built with domestically developed advanced chips has been fully deployed, delivering 14,000P of AI computing capacity. Pengcheng Cloudbrain III is under accelerated construction, while the National Supercomputing Center Phase II "Lingsheng" has topped the world's TOP 500 supercomputer rankings. A sustainable computing infrastructure system featuring integration of high-performance computing and AI computing, heterogeneous integration, integrated training and inference, and inclusive, ubiquitous access is no longer just a blueprint but a reality.

At this year's WAIC, Shenzhen's Futian District organized a dedicated exhibition group. Eight leading enterprises covering AI computing infrastructure, brain-inspired large models, intelligent robots and vertical industry applications made their debut at the main exhibition hall. In addition, benchmark companies in the district, including HONOR Device Co., Ltd., Zhuoshi Technology and Edensoft, participated with independent exhibition booths, forming a strong lineup of Futian-based companies showcasing their collective capabilities.

深圳超120家AI企业组队赴沪，亮相世界人工智能大会

7月17日，上海，2026世界人工智能大会。深圳，派出了超120家企业，华为、腾讯、中兴通讯等头部企业领衔，众多高成长性科创企业紧随其后，集体亮相，气场全开。

2025年，深圳市AI核心产业规模飙过2200亿元，规上企业突破2600家。从智算芯片、算法框架、大模型到软硬件应用，深圳手里攥着的，是一条完整的全栈式AI产业链。

依托大湾区全球唯一的“智能车机电一体化+人工智能产业供应链”生态优势，深圳在智能手机、智能眼镜、自动驾驶、智能机器人等端侧产品上，跑出了“上午设计、下午打样、次日量产、一周出海”的迭代时速。

算力和数据，是AI的“血液”和“骨架”。深圳在这方面，早已抢跑全国。全国首个使用国产先进芯片构建的万卡级全栈自主可控智算集群，已全面点亮，14000P智能算力，熊熊燃烧。鹏城云脑III加紧建设，超算II期“灵晟”登顶全球超算TOP500。超智协同、异构融合、训推一体、普惠泛在的可持续训力供给体系，已经不再是蓝图，而是现实。

本届WAIC上，深圳市福田区直接组团，8家覆盖算力底座、类脑大模型、智能机器人、行业垂直应用的链主企业组成的专属展团亮相主展馆。另有荣耀终端、卓世科技、伊登软件等多家辖区标杆企业独立设馆参展，形成福田企业协同亮相的强大阵容。
