“Comparing with last year, our booth is much larger.” said a staff of Jaten Robot & Automation.

“We successfully made the company known by the oversea market after the attendance here last year,” said Chen Honghui, VP of Jaten Robot & Automation, “we gained more knowledge about the demands of the international market as well through this fair.”

“After the exhibition last year, we started cooperation with about 10 companies in Europe and America,” said Chen Honghui, “in the meantime, we also developed partners in South Asia as Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.”

A roadshow named "Discover Shunde, Global Roadshow” was organized on April 25 in the Hannover Fair. During the event, Fang Hongbo, CEO of Midea, made the first announcement after the enterprise’s acquisition of KUKA, the famous German robot company. 

“The sales revenue of KUKA rose 20 percent in the first quarter after we became the major shareholder,” said Fang Hongbo. He was wearing an orange tie in the roadshow as orange is the iconic color of KUKA, his new German partner.

“We have various experience cooperating with world’s leading enterprises as Carrier, Toshiba and Servotronix,” said Fang Hongbo, “with our local resources, KUKA could rapidly expand its market in China and enhance its leading position in the global stage. While China’s enterprises could gain important tech-support in the fields as robotics and automation.”

During the roadshow, new joint projects were signed between Foshan and Germany. And the Deutsche Messe Technology Academy (DMTAC) co-established by Robotation Academy Hannover and Guangdong (Tanzhou) International Convention and Exhibition Center was one of them.

"It is fantastic that we are now in the process of building an international network of technology academies," said Thomas Rilke, Managing Director of DMTAC, "the need to organize technology competence centers and provide advice and training on a year-round basis is an international phenomenon. In Foshan, our new Robotation Academy will be located at the heart of one of China's leading industrial hubs."

Upon its completion, the new Robotation Academy in Foshan will provide training for an annual total of 1,000 industrial representatives in the fields of robotics, automation and Industry 4.0.

“The way Foshan cooperates with its global counterparts is changing,” said Ou Bangmin, Member of the Standing Committee of Foshan and Party Secretary of Shunde, “In the past, investment usually went to specific factories or products. Now enterprises are more willing to invest in a system, a technology or an ecology-related project.”

“Located in the Pearl River Delta, Shunde District is a global industrial base with tens of thousands of factories,” said Ou Bangmin, “the district now sees enormous opportunities in industial automation and intelligent manufacturing. We are now looking for global partners to reach win-win situations.”

“Although differences exist between the “Made in China 2025” and “German Industry 4.0”, but we are on the same direction,” said Lothar de Maizière, the last leader of an independent East Germany, “enterprises of both places can increase mutual understanding and further cooperation through roadshow events like this.”
