Back in July 2026, the Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology teamed up with the China Center of Dubai Silicon Oasis Digital Park to host a special matchmaking event focused on robotics and AI. The whole thing was hosted by Mr. Wang Jianyuan, who heads up that China Center and is also a senior counselor for the North America channel. Jojo Jiang, the CEO of the Dubai Royal Family Fund Management, was there too, spending the entire day diving deep with Hangzhou’s business and government heavyweights. They checked out the tech chops and overseas ambitions of local robot, smart equipment, and AI electronics companies, and basically agreed to build a joint platform to help these firms set sail for the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
The meeting brought together big shots from the Hangzhou government’s high-end equipment department, plus top robotics and smart tech companies from five major industrial zones: Binjiang, Fuyang, Gongshu, Yuhang, Qiantang, and Xiaoshan. The focus was on the post-oil digital transformation needs of the Middle East. The idea was to create a smooth pathway that combines “government policy + Dubai free zone business advantages + Chinese hardcore manufacturing,” setting up a regular service channel for companies eyeing the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
Top Officials and Investors Gather to Scope Out Hangzhou’s Smart Manufacturing
Leading the Hangzhou delegation were Li Mingsong, Deputy Party Secretary and Deputy Director of the Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, along with He Feng, Head of the High-End Equipment Division, and Chen Lin, Deputy Head of the Green Manufacturing Division. They gave a full rundown of the local AI and robotics clusters and how resources are managed.
Li Mingsong spoke at the event, saying that the bureau is all about serving industry. He promised full support to work with the Dubai Royal Family Fund and the Dubai Silicon Oasis Center to help tech firms go global. “We want our companies to grow through international collaboration, to keep improving their products through real-world use, and to let tech innovation make life better for people everywhere,” he said.
On the Dubai side, Jojo Jiang was all ears during every session, carefully listening to pitches from Hangzhou companies about their products, overseas projects, and tech upgrades. He was especially interested in city-level AI solutions, industrial robots, unmanned equipment, smart agriculture, and intelligent inspection systems. Word is, the Dubai royal wealth management system, controlled by the Al Maktoum family, manages sovereign funds like ICD and DIF, which have long been investing in global digital infrastructure and high-end tech assets. Lately, they’ve been shifting their focus toward China’s digital economy, making Hangzhou’s robotics and AI scene a prime target.
Mr. Wang Jianyuan also broke down the key benefits of Dubai’s free zones: zero corporate tax, 100% foreign ownership, and super-fast company registration. He gave practical tips on how the Gulf market works, local compliance rules, and how to partner with Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds. This helped clear up a lot of confusion for Hangzhou companies looking to go abroad.
Everyone agreed that now is the perfect window for Hangzhou tech firms to break into the Middle East. Dubai’s D33 economic plan and Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 are crying out for digital infrastructure and smart equipment. Hangzhou’s tech firms already rely heavily on overseas revenue, so their tech is a perfect match for what the Middle East needs. Add in the Global Digital Trade Expo and solid local support services, and it’s a golden moment for China-UAE digital trade. The plan? First, focus on the UAE, then spread out to Southeast Asia.

During the event, each company took the stage to show off their smart hardware, AI systems, and full-stack solutions. The Dubai royal fund and Silicon Oasis team took detailed notes on their tech strengths and overseas needs, promising to match them up with Middle Eastern buyers, family capital, and local manufacturing sites.
Next up, the Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology will work with the China Center of Dubai Silicon Oasis Digital Park to offer full-chain services—from overseas certifications and sales channels to equity financing—for Hangzhou’s robot and AI firms. The goal is to help these Chinese smart manufacturing brands put down roots in the Middle East and expand globally.
