Leading company in embodied intelligence, Galaxy General, recently announced a new round of financing worth up to 2.5 billion yuan, marking the official entry of the National Artificial Intelligence Industry Fund (National Large Fund Phase III) into the field of embodied intelligence. This round of financing attracted a stellar lineup of "national teams" and industrial capital. In addition to the National Large Fund, core industry giants such as Sinopec, CITIC Group, China Bank, and SAIC Group's financial control, as well as local state-owned capital platforms such as Yizhuang Guotou, Kunpeng Fund, and Wuxi Venture Capital, were all included. Old shareholders such as Semiconductor聚源 also continued to invest.
As the focus of this round of financing, Galaxy General not only achieved the first investment of the National Artificial Intelligence Industry Investment Fund in the field of embodied intelligence, but is also the only investment target of Ningde Era in the humanoid robot field. The investment structure composed of top policy-oriented funds and leading capital from multiple industries such as energy, automotive, and finance reflects the market's high recognition of embodied intelligence as the physical form of the next-generation general artificial intelligence.
Against the backdrop of global AI competition shifting towards interaction with the physical world, this large-scale financing by Galaxy General undoubtedly injects a strong boost into the R&D and commercialization of the embodied intelligence industry. The involvement of the National Large Fund carries significant signaling significance, indicating that embodied intelligence has risen to the core position of the national artificial intelligence strategic layout. With the deep integration of capital along the industrial chain, humanoid robots are expected to accelerate their transition from laboratories to industrial and service scenarios, driving the leapfrog evolution of China's AI industry from perception and decision-making to physical execution.
