Intellectual property is becoming the “core key” to activating new quality productive forces in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. From October 31 to November 2, the Guangzhou IP Trade Fair’s “IP Empowering New Quality Productive Forces Pavilion” will make a high-profile debut with a three-dimensional matrix of technology + culture + industry. Leading the lineup are two major low-altitude “black technologies”—XPENG’s land aircraft and EHang’s VT-11E UAV. An exclusive “Greater Bay Area Edition” humanoid robot show will blend the spirit of the Lingnan lion dance with technological rhythms. More than ten companies will showcase cutting-edge exhibits, accompanied by five high-level industry events, presenting a comprehensive view of how IP “energizes and regenerates” innovation across the region.

In the low-altitude economy sector, the two “black technologies” are truly “aerial powerhouses.” EHang’s VT-11E all-electric, vertical-takeoff-and-landing fixed-wing UAV directly tackles industry pain points with “multi-payload capacity, long endurance, and easy operation”: its tool-free assembly sharply reduces application barriers, while its three platforms—general security, aerial surveying, and logistics—enable precise adaptation to public-security patrols, forest-fire monitoring, and emergency-relief material delivery. Weighing only 8 kg, it still delivers highly efficient performance. XPENG, meanwhile, will exhibit its aircraft and concept car separately at booths A02 and A03. Its core patents redefine the boundary between ground and air mobility, bringing the futuristic scenario of “driving on the ground, flying in the air” within reach.

The static display area will further cover hard-tech innovations across next-generation information technology, new materials, smart manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and new energy. The 12-inch “First Chip of Guangzhou” manufactured by GT-Chip is particularly eye-catching: this 30-cm wafer integrates hundreds of production processes and can be applied in automotive electronics, industrial control, and other critical fields. Aosong Electronics will showcase its family of MEMS sensors—from gas mass-flow controllers to chilled-mirror hygrometers—underpinned by more than 300 IP assets. Zhiguang Energy Storage’s cascaded high-voltage equipment, with a market share exceeding 70% in its segment, demonstrates its pivotal role in 100-MW-scale energy-storage power stations.

The two exclusive highlights in the interactive experience zone take the convergence of technology and culture to an extreme. The pavilion brings together technologies and products from Flycore Robotics, Zeeq Power, ZhiYuan Robotics, QingfengXia and others to create a robot version of the Southern Lion Dance rich in Lingnan characteristics. Leveraging robot products developed locally in the Greater Bay Area and premium development resources nationwide, the performance merges “hardcore technology” with “cultural heritage” in a unique “Greater Bay Area Edition” show—vividly illustrating how embodied intelligence is thriving in the region and powering industrial upgrading with strong momentum.

Six thematic display boards will present the region’s “innovation report card” through data visualization: Guangdong’s number of valid invention patents has surpassed 800,000; PCT international patent applications exceed 300,000; and the region’s innovation capacity has ranked first nationwide for eight consecutive years. The Greater Bay Area is now home to 16 national IP protection centers, which have handled 38,900 patent-infringement disputes over the past three years. Low-altitude economy patents exceed 1,000; investment in new-type energy storage under construction totals RMB 229 billion; and the core AI industry exceeds RMB 170 billion in value—each data point underscoring IP’s driving role in industrial upgrading.

In addition, five high-level events will transform the pavilion into a hub for innovation exchange. On October 31, companies including EHang Intelligent and MoonBio will share their innovation practices. On November 1, the Xinchuang Forum will address breakthroughs in “bottleneck” technologies; another innovation forum will explore how the low-altitude economy can empower fire-and-rescue operations. On November 2, projects such as AI semantic-communication satellites and nuclear-power inspection drones will be featured in roadshows. IP service institutions will also release several major new service products.

This exhibition—integrating technological breakthroughs, cultural appeal, and industrial value—is both a “showcase of achievements” in the Greater Bay Area’s new quality productive forces and a “hands-on experience venue” for the public to engage with local innovation. At the end of October, Guangzhou invites you to this celebration of innovation to witness how intellectual property enables the region’s technology to possess both hard-core strength and cultural warmth.
