"X-Day" Xili Lake Roadshow Society Asia-Pacific Digital Intelligence Innovation Special Event Held, Six AI Hardware Projects Pitch

On the afternoon of November 5, 2026, the "X-Day" Xili Lake Roadshow Society Asia-Pacific Digital Intelligence Innovation Special Event was successfully held at the Shenzhen University Town International Conference Center. With the theme of "Embracing Digital Intelligence, Connecting the Globe," the event focused on the cross-border industrial advantages of AI hardware and Asia-Pacific regional innovation cooperation, attracting more than 200 participants, including leading investment institutions, high-quality startup teams, industry experts, and university faculty and students.

At the event, heavyweight industry guests gathered on site, including Li Yushuang, General Manager of the Inclusive Finance Department and General Manager of the Technology Finance Center of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Shenzhen Branch; Wu Jiabing, Vice President of Wondershare Technology and General Manager of Strategic Investment; Wang Yuanbo, Partner at Hongtai Fund; Qiu Kai, Partner at GSR United Capital; Li Jinyao, Head of Early-Stage Investment at Yunmu Capital; Li Ying, Vice President of Haofang Group and Vice President of Haofang Venture Capital; Zhou Shuang, Partner at Dihuang Capital; Huang Jinhuang, Managing Director of Lihé Angel; and Zhu Yuwu, Deputy Director of Investment at Haiyuan Capital, who shared cutting-edge insights and roadshow comments.

This roundtable dialogue was moderated by Li Jinyao, Head of Early-Stage Investment at Yunmu Capital, and specially invited representatives of well-known investment institutions, including Qiu Kai, Partner at GSR United Capital; Wang Yuanbo, Partner at Hongtai Fund; and Wu Jiabing, Vice President of Wondershare Technology and General Manager of Strategic Investment, to conduct an in-depth discussion on the theme of "The Digital Intelligence Era: A New Journey of Globalization for Sci-Tech Innovation Enterprises."

Li Jinyao, Head of Early-Stage Investment at Yunmu Capital, proposed that after the sector cooled down, the capital market has ushered in a better window for discovery. The market values genuine product strength and entrepreneurial capability; the bubble has contracted somewhat, but high-quality directions and high-quality teams can still obtain sufficient startup capital. Going global cannot remain merely a slogan; it requires a deep understanding of overseas user habits and local rules and the discovery of real demand.

Qiu Kai, Partner at GSR United Capital, believes that last year was the peak of heat in the AI hardware capital market, and this year's sector cooling is a rational return, with investment focus shifting from concept prototypes to projects that can be implemented, possess supply chain capabilities, and have clear user demand. Going global is the biggest difficulty for AI hardware startups, as overseas policies and regulations and platform rules continue to change. Discussing overseas expansion strategies, he reminded companies to avoid pursuing breadth and completeness and to consolidate their business lines and take deep root in segmented scenarios in order to build user awareness and brand premium and then extend the product matrix. Two types of companies are more suitable for going overseas: one targets vertical consumer categories that are niche in China but sizable overseas; the other is companies that have already honed their capabilities to the extreme in the domestic market but face profit pressure due to limited local consumer spending, and can use overseas markets to amplify economies of scale. Technological iteration capability and fulfillment and delivery capability are the two core barriers for the long-term survival of AI companies going global.

Wang Yuanbo, Partner at Hongtai Fund, pointed out that going global is more about exporting mature domestic products and micro-innovation products; AI hardware, by contrast, focuses on discovering entirely new demand, and many projects are still at the prototype demo stage. He cited a single-person low-altitude aircraft project as an example: 90% of its orders come from overseas, precisely matching the demand of niche high-paying groups such as overseas enthusiasts and farm owners, confirming the commercial potential of vertical overseas tracks. Fluctuations in primary and secondary markets and the transmission of tightened IPOs have slowed the pace of investment, and project valuation bubbles have dissipated, but institutions are still willing to invest in high-quality projects with hardcore strength and overseas potential, and the industry has entered a more rational investment stage.

Wu Jiabing, Vice President of Wondershare Technology and General Manager of Strategic Investment, pointed out that the AI hardware sector has completed a clear iteration, with products anchored to real application scenarios and focused on solving actual user pain points. Drawing on Wondershare Technology's more than 20 years of practical experience in going global, he said that the simple overseas expansion model of "product transplantation and translation packaging" is no longer sustainable; supply chains can quickly replicate similar products, and price advantages alone can no longer build competitiveness. From the perspective of CVC industrial investment, industrial capital is less disturbed by capital cycles, and investment decisions are made around its own industrial synergy layout rather than chasing sector trends; at the same time, he believes that entrepreneurship should not be swayed by the hot or cold state of capital, capital will pay for genuinely implemented businesses, and relying solely on concepts and storytelling will make it difficult to continue obtaining support.

In the premium project demo session, six digital intelligence sci-tech innovation projects with international development potential took the stage in succession for roadshows. Each project had a 12-minute presentation and an 8-minute Q&A exchange, showcasing to attending investors and industry guests their respective innovative achievements in cutting-edge fields such as AI hardware, intelligent services, and edge computing.
