On April 2, the grand opening ceremony of "Global Summit on Physical Intelligence Limit Challenges and Security and Hitch Open World AI Championships", co-hosted by DoBe, was successfully held.

This summit was jointly organized by Shanghai Times Youth Sci-Tech Innovation and Development Center (Preparatory), Intelligent Racing Foundation, and ZLead Silicon Valley Committee. Luo Dajin, Director of the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission; Ji Zhaoliang, Chairman of the Shanghai Pudong New Area People's Political Consultative Conference; Zhang Feng, Member of the Standing Committee of the Pudong New Area District Committee and Head of the United Front Work Department; and Li Hui, Deputy District Chief of the Pudong New Area People's Government, along with over 400 government officials, academic experts, industry leaders, investment professionals, and university research teams, attended the event. Together, they explored the innovative applications and safe development of AI technology in the field of physical intelligence, and officially launched Asia's first AI autonomous racing competition—the Hitch Open World AI Championships.

At the opening ceremony, Director Luo Dajin pointed out that AI racing competitions serve as an important platform for promoting technological implementation and youth development. In her speech, Deputy District Chief Li Hui emphasized that Pudong New Area will fully support AI technological innovation and industrial integration, aiming to build a globally leading hub for intelligent technology.

Witnessed by all parties, Cai Hongtu, Member of the Party Committee and Deputy General Manager of Lujiazui Group, and Zhang Haidong, Chairman of the ZLead Silicon Valley Committee and Executive Director of Strategic Development at DoBe Group, officially unveiled the Shanghai Times Youth Sci-Tech Innovation and Development Center. The center is committed to fostering talent development and technological innovation and entrepreneurship among Chinese youth, marking a new phase in Shanghai's youth science and technology innovation endeavors. Meanwhile, DoBe will actively provide the center with support such as innovation spaces, technological empowerment, and industrial resource connections, contributing to the construction of a youth innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem. Subsequently, Tang Minqin, Chairman of the Intelligent Racing Foundation, awarded the Shanghai event hosting rights to the Shanghai Times Youth Sci-Tech Innovation and Development Center, with both parties committed to jointly advancing the AI competition ecosystem.

At the launch ceremony, the organizing committee awarded honorary certificates to the seven universities participating in the first competition: Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Zhejiang University, Hunan University, Hainan University, Jilin University, and Wuhan University of Technology, demonstrating the universities' scientific research strength in the field of AI.

As the event organizer, DoBe actively participated in the summit's preparation, focusing on cutting-edge AI trends and showcasing comprehensive innovation services covering space, capital, and talent, centered on the concept of "preemptive incubation". A DoBe representative stated that breakthroughs in AI technology require not only laboratory research but also real-world scenario validation and collaborative industrial resources. In the future, DoBe will serve as an incubator for AI technology implementation, accelerating the leap from laboratory research to industrial applications in artificial intelligence.

The nearly 100 cultural and creative parks globally deployed by DoBe will serve as incubators for the AI ecosystem. On one hand, through benchmark projects like AI autonomous driving competitions, they provide real-world testing scenarios for technologies such as AI Agents (digital employees) and embodied intelligence, helping companies overcome application bottlenecks. On the other hand, with professional office space support, precise capital connection services, and access to top-tier global mentorship resources, they empower technological iteration and commercial transformation of innovation projects in every aspect.

Additionally, DoBe collaborates with global innovation platforms like the ZLead Silicon Valley Committee. Through the "Venture Studio" preemptive incubation program, it offers young entrepreneurs comprehensive support in technology development, business resource integration, and global market access, accelerating the rapid transition of innovative projects from concept validation to scalable implementation.

The launch of this competition marks not only a significant milestone in AI technology's advancement into the realm of physical intelligence but also an important experiment in DoBe's "competition + incubation" strategy. By connecting global resources from academia, industry, and research, DoBe will continue to build an open, inclusive, and dynamic entrepreneurial environment. Through preemptive incubation, it empowers the AI innovation ecosystem, joining hands with global academic, industrial, and research forces to promote the inclusive development of AI technology.
