We were honoured to welcome Singapore’s Minister for National Development, Mr. Chee Hong Tat, along with representatives from the Ministry of National Development, Housing & Development Board, and Building and Construction Authority, to the Hong Kong Center for Construction Robotics (HKCRC) on January 26. This visit highlights our shared commitment to advancing construction innovation through technology.
 

​

During the engagement, HKCRC Director Professor Li Zexiang presented the Center’s forward-thinking innovation philosophy and elaborated on how the XbotPark ecosystem has established a world-class model for startup incubation. Over the past 30 years, this ecosystem has fostered 272 companies, including 4 publicly listed and 12 unicorn enterprises—a testament to a framework that has gained widespread recognition from governments, academic institutions, and industries globally.

 We held productive exchanges on several key topics, including end-to-end technology innovation models, potential collaboration opportunities in technological innovation between the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Singapore, and pathways to scalable adoption of smart construction solutions.
 

The delegation also explored firsthand a selection of cutting-edge projects incubated at HKCRC that are redefining intelligent construction:

- MetaCam Air 2 from Skyland Innovation 

- Close-Range AI Stereo from Ensightful 

- AI Tower Crane System from CraneR 

- Rebar Tying Robot from Castor Construction Robotics
 

​

Our sincere appreciation goes to Minister Chee Hong Tat and the Singapore delegation for their insightful visit. We look forward to future collaboration and working together to shape the next generation of intelligent, efficient construction worldwide.
