The Italian Chamber of Commerce in China (CCIC), together with its Intellectual Property Working Group (IPWG) and its member AsecorpChina successfully concluded a high-profile company visit to UBTECH Robotics on 5th June in Shenzhen. The event offered members an exclusive, in-depth look at the forefront of humanoid robotics and embodied artificial intelligence.
Event highlight:
Participants toured the UBTECH showroom, discovering the company’s humanoid robotics technologies and AI applications across multiple sectors.
Romina Di Martino, CCIC South China Manager, and Alessandro Petrini, South China Board Member, opened the conference and introduced UBTECH’s leadership.
Tiger Wang, Deputy GM of Consumer Robots Division, presented UBTECH’s business landscape, with a focus on European market development and future AI strategies.
The event continued with a roundtable on AI implementation moderated by Laura Priore, Vice-Coordinator of IPWG and Italian Lawyer and Data Protection Officer at Wang Jing & GH Law Firm.
Speakers Rosanna Terminio, Partner of AsecorpChina, and Gianluca Giorgi, CEO of ES Automation Consulting Ltd, shared insights on AI integration, business strategy, and the future of humanoid robotics.
During the event, UBTECH outlined its interest in establishing a presence in Europe and identified Italy as one of the locations under consideration, reflecting the country's strong industrial base and expertise in sectors such as robotics, automation, logistics and healthcare. Particularly noteworthy was the company's strong emphasis on compliance with European regulations and standards. As the EU continues to strengthen its framework for foreign investment screening, data governance, technology oversight and economic security, any future expansion into the European market will require careful alignment with both EU and national requirements.
UBTECH's recognition of this regulatory environment suggests an understanding that success in Europe depends not only on technological innovation, but also on transparency, regulatory compliance and long-term engagement with local stakeholders. This approach is especially relevant in strategic sectors such as robotics, where technological development increasingly intersects with broader policy considerations.
Should the project move forward, it could create opportunities for cooperation with industrial groups, universities, healthcare institutions, telecom operators, and logistics and supply chain operators across Italy and Europe.
The initiative also highlights the valuable role that institutions such as the Italian Chamber of Commerce in China can play in facilitating dialogue, building mutual understanding, and helping companies navigate complex regulatory and business environments. At a time when Europe is seeking to balance openness with economic security, such exchanges can help identify areas of cooperation while ensuring full respect for European rules and standards.
The Chamber will continue to organize initiatives that foster knowledge exchange and business opportunities. Stay tuned for our upcoming events:
