2025 World Robot Conference: China’s Leading International Robotics Event Returns to Beijing

2025 WRC World Robot Conference: The Premier Global Event in Robotics

The 2025 World Robot Conference (WRC), approved by the State Council of China and jointly organized by the China Institute of Electronics and the World Robot Cooperation Organization, will take place in August 2025 in Beijing. This landmark event is widely regarded as the most influential and internationally integrated platform in the field of robotics.

Since its inception in 2015, the WRC has been successfully held nine times, integrating a forum, expo, competitions, and themed activities into a comprehensive global gathering. The conference has received significant support from the Chinese government, including a congratulatory letter from President Xi Jinping and on-site participation from key officials such as Li Qiang, Cai Qi, Liu He, Wan Gang, Liu Yandong, and Ma Kai.
