"Impressive, innovative, and advanced," these are responses from a group of students from around the world after viewing cutting-edge products.
The series event "Global Youths Explore Guangzhou" continued as they visited two local high-tech firms on August 21 in the Nansha district of Guangzhou.
They visited SEALIEN, a manufacturer of intelligent deep-sea robots, and Mogulinker, an industrial AI technology service provider, to experience the city's booming development.
A group of students from around the world learn about the trencher produced by SEALIEN in Guangzhou on August 21, 2025.
After visiting SEALIEN and their intelligent deep-sea robots, Ingmar Werbik, a university student from Germany, told South that all the products they saw were incredible and impeccable.
He elaborated that each product has its own edge, but his preference was the trencher, as it could play a critical role in interconnectivity and electrical combination.
Additionally, he praised China for working on such adventurous innovations in the deep-sea world and expressed hope to import some products to Germany.
"Germany itself has a really big coastline and is also working on improving the country based on environmental energy. If we could utilize some of the products we saw today, that would be a really nice addition to the programs in Germany," he added.
Luca Grillone, a university student studying economics at the University of Genoa from Italy, was impressed with the number of intellectual properties SEALIEN can establish in just one year.
He was amazed by the technological advancements the firm has achieved, not only by their engineers but also by their board members, who are highly specialized in these technologies.
Grillone listed two products, the balance tanker and the cable robot, as his personal preferences, as they are important for vessel security to avoid corrosion and for global connectivity, respectively.
A group of students from around the world learn about the AI system designed by Mogulinker in Guangzhou on August 21, 2025.
"Guangzhou is very important in the supply chain of maritime businesses worldwide," he noted. As a university student majoring in economics, he projected a promising future for maritime businesses.
"Because we are no longer in the Exploration Era; we are in the trade era now. We have never been so united by trade between continents," Grillone said.
After the tour of SEALIEN, the group of students went to Mogulinker to learn about its algorithms applied to various scenarios, from smart cities to energy consumption.
A group of students from around the world learn about the AI manufacturing system designed by Mogulinker in Guangzhou on August 21, 2025.
Ananda Scott, a university student majoring in urban planning from Boston, Massachusetts, in the US, told South that it was fascinating to see how different manufacturing technologies work.
She was particularly interested in sustainability technology and found it very impressive that the AI systems designed by the firm can reduce energy usage by one third.
Echoing Scott's view, Luca Grillone was astonished by how AI can minimize energy waste, saving a lot of money for the manufacturing system.
"Then we can use these technologies now to organize better transportation methods or improve communication," he added.
