The global technology community turned its eyes to Shenzhen this week as the city played host to the prestigious World AIoT Innonation Alliance (WAIA) 2025. The event, focused on the future of connectivity, brought together industry titans, pioneering startups, and international delegations from Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, Singapore, Spain, Italy, Canada, Indonesia, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, India, and others to shape the next chapter of the Internet of Things (IoT).
本周，全球科技界的目光齐聚深圳——这座城市迎来了备受瞩目的世界人工智能与物联网创新联盟（WAIA）2025大会。作为连接未来的盛会，本次活动汇聚了行业巨头、先锋初创企业，以及来自吉尔吉斯斯坦、马来西亚、新加坡、西班牙、意大利、加拿大、印度尼西亚、德国、阿联酋和印度等的国际代表团，共同勾勒物联网（IoT）的下一篇章！
This year's event was notably highlighted by a special tour for foreign investors and business leaders, who visited the headquarters and innovation centers of China's most influential tech giants. The delegation gained exclusive insights into the operations of Alibaba Cloud's IoT infrastructure, China Mobile's vast 5G and connectivity solutions, and the cutting-edge international platforms demonstrated by the Yuehai Enterprise Service center.
The message from the event was clear: Shenzhen is not just open for business; it is the world's premier launchpad for IoT innovation.
今年活动的一大亮点，是为外国投资者与商业领袖特别安排的深度考察。代表团走进中国最具影响力的科技巨擘总部与创新中心，近距离探秘阿里云物联网基础设施的运行逻辑，了解中国移动海量5G与连接解决方案的落地实践，并了解粤海国际化企业服务交流中心展示的前沿国际化平台。
活动传递的信号清晰有力：深圳不仅向全球商业张开怀抱，更已成为全球物联网创新的首要策源地。
A key takeaway for the international guests was the unparalleled ease of establishing a presence in Shenzhen. The city, long known as China's "Silicon Valley," offers streamlined processes for company registration, robust government support for high-tech firms, and a deep pool of engineering talent. For foreign investors looking to tap into the world's largest market for IoT devices, setting up a base in Shenzhen is no longer just an option—it's a strategic plan.
对国际嘉宾而言，此次参访的一大关键收获，是深刻体会到在深圳落子布局的无与伦比之便。这座素以中国“硅谷”闻名的城市，不仅提供简化的公司注册流程、针对高科技企业的有力政策扶持，更坐拥深厚的工程技术人才储备。对瞄准全球最大物联网设备市场的外国投资者来说，在深圳设立基地早已不是可选项——而是一项战略必选。
The visit to the featured companies underscored this point. Witnessing firsthand the integration of AI and IoT by Alibaba, the pervasive network capabilities of China Mobile, and the efficient enterprise ecosystems managed by Yuehai Enterprise Service(YHES), investors left with a powerful understanding of the mature and interconnected business environment Shenzhen provides.
走进标杆企业的实地探访，更印证了这一点。亲见阿里巴巴AI与物联网的深度融合、中国移动泛在的网络覆盖能力，以及粤海国际化企业服务交流中心高效运转的企业生态管理系统后，投资者们切身感受到：深圳为企业提供的，是一套成熟且环环相扣的商业支撑体系。
The WAIA 2025 served as a dynamic bridge for international partnerships. A significant focus was on fostering collaboration between Chinese tech firms and international markets.
世界人工智能与物联网创新应用生态活动2025不仅是思想的碰撞场，更成为国际合作的活力纽带。本届活动的一大重心，是推动中国科技企业与国际市场的深度对接。
Furthermore, the event highlighted a growing trend: foreign investors are actively seeking to invest in promising Chinese tech companies. The success stories of homegrown brands like Tencent (a global leader in gaming and social media), Hey Tea (a phenomenally successful new retail beverage brand), and, of course, Alibaba (an e-commerce and cloud behemoth), have proven the immense global potential of Shenzhen-originated companies.
The ambition for these companies is no longer confined within China's borders. The event emphasized the strategic push for Chinese companies to expand into global markets, exporting their advanced IoT solutions, business models, and digital platforms worldwide.
值得关注的是，一个趋势愈发鲜明：外国投资者正积极寻求投资中国优质科技企业。腾讯（游戏与社交媒体领域的全球领导者）、喜茶（现象级新零售茶饮品牌）、阿里巴巴（电商与云计算巨头）……这些从深圳走出的本土品牌的成功故事，已充分印证了中国科技企业的全球潜力。
如今，这些企业的野心早已不局限于中国市场。活动释放明确信号：中国科技企业正迎来战略性出海机遇期——将先进的物联网解决方案、商业模式与数字平台推向全球，成为新的增长主线。
The World AIoT Innovation Alliance 2025 event concluded with a strong consensus: the future of IoT will be built on global collaboration. Shenzhen, with its unique combination of innovative spirit, manufacturing prowess, and open business climate, stands ready to lead that charge. For global investors, partners, and tech pioneers alike, the message from Shenzhen is an invitation to connect, invest, and grow together in the heart of the world's IoT revolution.
世界人工智能和物联网创新联盟2025活动圆满落幕，本次活动最终凝聚高度共识：物联网的未来，由全球协作书写！
而深圳，凭借其独特的创新基因、雄厚制造实力与开放营商环境，已做好准备勇立潮头，引领这一趋势。
无论全球投资者、合作伙伴，还是科技先锋，深圳向世界发出的邀请清晰而热烈：来这座物联网创新之地，共商合作、共促投资、共享机遇，共赴万物智联的新征程！
