SHANGHAI, July 22, 2026 – As the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance unfolds in Shanghai from July 17 to 20, Dongfang MOD+ Zhiyuan Innovation Harbor is actively integrating into this global "smart feast," leveraging the event's momentum to foster its own innovation ecosystem.

The WAIC features over 140 forums and gathers 1,400+ guests, including 9 Turing and Nobel laureates. Similarly, Dongfang MOD+ Zhiyuan Innovation Harbor has built its own "industry exchange magnet." In the first half of the year, the park focused on four core sectors: online new economy, robotics, digital economy, and green low-carbon. By leveraging industry associations and leading enterprises, it has formed a robotics and intelligent technology cluster, hosting high-frequency activities like AI agent application meetings and investment matchmaking.

The conference serves as a showcase for groundbreaking tech, such as Huawei's Atlas 950 SuperPoD and the DF1000 3D chip. Mirroring this, the park emphasizes hardcore tech through an ecosystem-driven investment strategy. It has built a comprehensive value chain extending from content e-commerce to creative media, forming industrial clusters in outdoor sports, pet events, and trendy IPs.

WAIC 2026 strongly emphasizes practical AI applications across industries, highlighted by the "WAIC City Walk." Aligning with this experiential focus, the park is upgrading its physical and functional environment. It is creating a garden-style office setting with park-river access, optimizing its activity center, and integrating green low-carbon concepts into daily operations by partnering with local recycling enterprises.

The conference highlights youth as the driving force of AI, supported by a robust venture capital matrix. Dongfang MOD+ Zhiyuan Innovation Harbor provides comprehensive support for young entrepreneurs through a standardized operational service system. By monetizing value-added services and encouraging existing tenants to become strategic recruitment partners, the park has created a healthy closed-loop ecosystem where "onboarding triggers collaboration, and collaboration drives investment."

Centered on the theme "Smart Partners, Creating the Future," the conference emphasizes AI as a collaborative tool and a subject of global governance. Embodying this partnership concept, the park maintains close communication with local government and mobilizes resources to support enterprises. Initiatives include establishing a youth night school and hosting AI empowerment private board meetings to break down information barriers and provide tangible business support.

With Shanghai's AI industry scale surpassing 637 billion RMB in 2025, the WAIC spotlight highlights the city's AI ambitions. Located in Baoshan, Dongfang MOD+ Zhiyuan Innovation Harbor is dedicated to building a "smart partner ecosystem" with garden-style environments and government-enterprise collaboration. As the global AI gathering continues, the park invites more "smart partners" to join and co-create the future.
