Recently, thanks to the efficient efforts of GuChuan United, Nanjing Avatar Robotics Technology Co., Ltd. officially signed a cooperation agreement with the People’s Government of Wuji County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province.

Based on a scientific assessment of the robotics industry and a precise understanding of Wuji County’s investment promotion needs, GuChuan United fully facilitated targeted government-enterprise collaboration and rapidly advanced the project’s establishment. From the initial meeting to the formal signing, the process took only 21 days, earning high praise from both the government and the enterprise.

Nanjing Avatar Robotics Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Avatar Robotics”) is a high-tech enterprise dedicated to developing intelligent service robots. Following the company’s establishment in Wuji County, the two parties will not only jointly build an ecosystem for service robots but also explore cooperation in sectors such as education, community services, healthcare, and government administration, applying advanced artificial intelligence projects to Wuji County.

Robotics Industry Sees New Development Opportunities

Strategic Site Selection Proves Crucial

Benefiting from the further expansion of downstream application scenarios and the continued maturation of China’s robotics industry, the development potential of service robots is gradually being realized.

Unlike labor-intensive enterprises, high-tech companies—such as robotics firms—prioritize access to capital, research talent, and application scenarios. Urban clusters like the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Pearl River Delta hold a natural appeal for these enterprises.

Avatar Robotics is no exception. Looking back at the company’s development over recent years, it is evident that its site selection decisions have often been closely linked to universities and research institutions. These institutions not only address the company’s urgent need for research talent but also provide the ideal application scenarios for its flagship educational service robots.

In recent years, Wuji County has actively integrated into the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development strategy, emphasizing the supportive role of technological innovation in industrial development and striving to expand channels for industry-education integration, thereby unleashing tremendous developmental vitality. This is precisely the key reason why Nanjing Avatar chose to establish its base here.

Continuously Optimizing Industrial Layout

Wuji County Implements a Comprehensive Approach to Project Development

As the “vanguard” of Wuji County’s industrial transformation and upgrading, the Hebei Wuji Economic Development Zone is committed to empowering high-quality development through project construction. It has now attracted over 200 enterprises, including 102 large-scale enterprises and 53 high-tech enterprises.

▲ Located 260 kilometers from Beijing, 300 kilometers from Tianjin Port, 280 kilometers from Huanghua Port, and 30 kilometers from Shijiazhuang International Airport—backed by the provincial capital, connected to the Xiongan New Area, and serving Beijing and Tianjin—Wuji County possesses distinct geographical advantages.

Through careful planning and dedicated cultivation, Wuji County’s industrial layout has been continuously optimized. A number of leading industries—including advanced equipment manufacturing, biopharmaceuticals, and health foods—have continued to grow and expand, while distinctive industrial clusters such as technology services and cultural and creative industries are rapidly taking shape.

Wuji County holds weekly project coordination meetings chaired by the County Magistrate and attended by the Party Secretary; monthly government-enterprise joint meetings chaired by the Head of the United Front Work Department and attended by the Party Secretary; and quarterly government-enterprise joint meetings chaired by the Financial Affairs Office and attended by representatives from various banks. These efforts aim to enhance the efficiency of enterprise services and fully address the challenges encountered by businesses during their development.

Through the joint efforts of the county’s officials and the general public, the landscape of key project construction in Wuji County has come to radiate with brilliant light.

Big Data + Industrial Research

Guchuan United Bank Assists Enterprises in Scientific Site Selection

With 13 years of practical experience in investment promotion, Guchuan United has accumulated over 50,000 pieces of facility data and more than 610,000 project entries. For any given need, this data allows for the selection of optimal options.

However, from a professional perspective, the true challenge lies in how to scientifically integrate this data to facilitate precise matching between governments and enterprises.

Upon receiving Avatar Robotics’ site selection requirements, the GuChuan United service team immediately met with the company’s leadership. Drawing on accurate assessments and in-depth understanding of the industry, they explained the industrial infrastructure and development advantages of the company’s preferred location. The team’s professionalism and dedication earned high praise from the enterprise.

Leveraging GuChuan United’s familiarity with the industrial characteristics of the Hebei region, the service team precisely matched the company’s site selection requirements with the investment promotion needs of local governments across Hebei. By combining this with an accurate assessment of local capacity to host the project, they ultimately identified Wuji County as the target location.

Subsequently, the service team continuously facilitated mutual visits between government officials and the company and maintained ongoing follow-up. By leveraging their precise understanding of both the project’s industry and the government’s investment promotion needs, they helped both parties overcome communication barriers and rapidly advanced the process of establishing Avatar Robotics in Wuji County. The entire process, from the initial meeting between the government and the company to the formal signing of the agreement, took only 21 days.

Site selection is a rigorous and complex process that requires not only significant time and effort but also strong information analysis and integration capabilities, extensive site selection experience, and expertise in liaising with government authorities.

As a professional firm with both a data-driven mindset and a global perspective, GuChuan United will help enterprises navigate through various stages of development, enabling them to view the present through the lens of the future.
