On April 17, the General Office of the People's Government of Heilongjiang Province released a significant policy document, outlining an ambitious goal to propel the province's intelligent robot sector to an industrial scale surpassing 10 billion yuan by the end of 2028. This strategic move aims to foster the growth of 3-5 domestically leading enterprises that will spearhead the industry's supply chain, and to establish a robust industrial ecosystem centered around Harbin's 'Intelligent Robot Island,' with support from multiple regional hubs. The policy is designed to facilitate the widespread adoption of intelligent robots across various sectors, including modern agriculture, smart manufacturing, and the ice and snow economy.

The policy encompasses four key dimensions:

Firstly, it emphasizes bolstering industrial innovation capabilities by encouraging enterprises to ramp up their R&D investments and drive breakthroughs in pivotal technologies. Eligible projects will receive up to 10 million yuan in scientific research funding support, providing a substantial boost to innovation efforts.

Secondly, the policy promotes the development of industrial clusters by expediting the commercialization of scientific and technological advancements and supporting the establishment of industrial parks. Funding will be allocated at a rate of 20% of the total verified investment for eligible projects within the intelligent robot domain, with a maximum cap of 50 million yuan per project, ensuring robust infrastructure and growth opportunities.

Thirdly, it strengthens the application of innovative scenarios by incentivizing enterprises to collaborate with user units in crafting exemplary application scenarios and supporting events such as new product launches. This approach aims to foster a dynamic environment where cutting-edge technologies can be effectively showcased and adopted.

Lastly, the policy reinforces support for development elements by enhancing data infrastructure construction. Certified high-quality datasets will receive up to 2 million yuan in funding support, while increased financial capital support will be provided to facilitate corporate financing and listings, thereby ensuring a solid foundation for sustained growth and competitiveness in the intelligent robot industry.
