每到秋冬之交,京杭大运河畔的桐乡乌镇,总会吸引全球科技界的目光。
作为世界互联网大会永久举办地,桐乡早已不再满足于“会址”标签。围绕“365天永不落幕的大会”,每年700余场“会展赛秀”在这里落地生根。
桐乡因互联网而兴。十年来,当地生产总值已从2015年的652亿元跨越至1401.6亿元,位列全国百强县第22位,规上工业增加值达464.1亿元;桐乡的数字经济核心制造业产值增长近5倍,去年增加值同比大增18.0%,成为浙江省第9个跨入“千亿俱乐部”的县市。
今年,在科技巨头汇聚乌镇峰会,要围绕技术迭代、流量变迁与数字经济展开思想碰撞与宏大叙事之前,我们顺着乌镇大道向南,走进了桐乡的园区、实验室与生产线,去感受一场产业裂变正在发生。
依托浙江省唯一国家超算中心“乌镇之光”与中国联通智算中心构筑的“超算+智算”多元算力底座,算力在桐乡这里不只是跳动于服务器集群里的虚拟数字,它正化作驱动企业智能化的实体能源。
可以看到,在桐乡这方水土上,不断集聚了智能驾驶、具身智能与机器人、工业AI、空间智能与合成数据以及AI算力基础设施等前沿产业赛道上的龙头与新势力,他们让算法不再局限于屏幕里的对话框,而是让AI流动在线控底盘、传感器、机械臂以及更大型的硬件设备上。
据悉,桐乡不仅有在全国县市一级最完整的智能汽车产业链及“车路云一体化”试点加持,它正从乌镇峰会的“AI叙事”转变成一个工业水乡的产业进化样本。
乌镇嬗变:科创资源集聚
若要为乌镇的变迁寻找一个生动的微观切片,福瑞泰克董事长张林博士的经历无疑是最佳叙事原点。
2016年,他第一次来桐乡参加了世界互联网大会,“那时候科技巨头云集,大家都在讨论着移动互联网与数字化的未来。”张林回忆起初识桐乡时感慨道。
因会结缘桐乡,张林最终选择将福瑞泰克的智能制造与研发重要基地扎根于此。十年间,专注于高级驾驶辅助系统及自动驾驶系统技术的福瑞泰克,已成长为国内第三方智能驾驶领域领军企业,2025年营收突破22亿元,其智驾系统搭载在行驶于全球各地的本土及国际品牌车型上。
从张林的视角向外延展,桐乡AI产业升级的轨迹清晰可见:从互联网的“软性连接”,走向物理AI与工业智能化的“硬核落地”。
“长三角与珠三角有着全球最完备的制造生态。从车规级电子件、机械件到齿轮变速,只要你有智能化想法,在这里都能快速跑通POC。”张林说。
虽然智能驾驶代表汽车的智能化,但在张林看来,这也是泛物理AI的先导实验。如今,从乘用车自动化系统的规模化量产,到毫米波雷达技术向4D成像雷达、机器人感知迁移,智能驾驶的溢出效应正在桐乡全面释放。
通过产业座谈与园区走访,我们发现桐乡依托“三智一网”——智能汽车、智能计算、智能传感、工业互联网形成的产业生态内,产业链协同随处可见。
福瑞泰克在开发全新线控底盘测试车辆时,直接在桐乡常态化组织的企业座谈会上找到了“共创伙伴”尚元智行。
不只是主动为产业链上下游撮合订单与场景,像桐乡梧桐街道等本地政府平台,还会化作对接平台,为园区运营方数翰科技、新博智等剑桥及海外归国人才团队搭建“海归之家”,集聚海内外高校硕博高层次人才,让这座水乡成为一个科创资源集聚地。
桐乡生态:AI产业叙事
走进桐乡各家企业的生产线与实验室,AI前沿赛道不再是纸面上的概念,而是机器轰鸣与算法演进交织的现实场景。
作为桐乡首批全国智能网联汽车“车路云一体化”试点的重要物理载体,尚元智行(桐乡)科技有限公司测试场上,搭载线控滑板底盘的无人配送车正在精准完成急停、避障与路径规划。
作为物理AI的核心技术底座,尚元智行专注于中低速线控滑板底盘研发与生产等无人驾驶解决方案,其产品可解耦为三个模块:滑板底盘、智驾大脑与百变方舱。
尚元智行相关负责人给出了一组数据,凭借高精度线控转向、制动以及全域冗余架构,其线控底盘出货量已突破11000台,L4级自动驾驶里程累计突破1亿公里。
从中国邮政7000台无人配送大单,到城市燃气巡检、警用巡逻乃至无人冷链售卖,尚元智行的智能底盘正在成为空间智能穿梭于物理世界的“双足”。
不只是无人智驾,在具身智能与商用机器人赛道,桐乡创新企业的实力正在接受复杂场景的验证。
在嘉兴新生纪智能科技有限公司新开放的生产线上,一台台商用清洁机器人正接受出厂前的全要素测试。
与家用扫地机不同,商用环境对贴边精度、复杂障碍物避让有着较高要求。“在商业场景中,碰撞就是事故。”新生纪联合创始人沈继中解释道。
据悉,通过多传感器融合算法与空间感知训练,新生纪商用机器人在很多终端场景的清洁覆盖率达到了97%以上,已成功打入韩国仁川机场、新加坡樟宜机场等海外大型公共交通枢纽及市场。
在工业物流“最后20米”,赛那德则通过履带式底盘、七轴机械臂与自研物理引擎模型,基于大量真实场景数据积累,实现着重载拆码垛与自动装卸全流程闭环,并在烟草和酒水龙头企业中实现商用。
瞩目物理AI的发展大势,大衍科技(桐乡)有限公司成为当地在空间智能与合成数据赛道的创新企业。据首席研究员董海巍介绍,大衍科技正通过海量的数字仿真与合成数据生成,赋能自动驾驶、具身智能及工业物流等场景,为这类企业客户提供不可或缺的“虚拟试验场”与“数据燃料”,从而帮助他们打破真实世界数据采集的成本瓶颈。
致力于为化工、环境、能源、半导体等行业客户提供智能控制升级方案的浙江数翰科技有限公司,早自2019年就落户了梧桐街道的智创园,成为桐乡工业AI的代表。
针对传统流程工业高耗能、高风险,且工艺耦合度高、生产链条长的痛点,数翰科技自研AI决策控制系统,打破传统控制单装置、单回路控制局限,实现AI的自主理解、规划与执行。
其实,当AI与先进制造催动着工业水乡的进化,桐乡的智造企业内部也在自我进化。在福瑞泰克的制造车间内,工业AI就在重构着传统MES的逻辑。
面对2000多种复杂汽车电子物料与繁重生产排程,福瑞泰克制造团队通过部署内部AI Agent,让AI自动分析库存余量、客户需求与生产排期,直接辅助生成工单。
“我们不再只是讲‘降本’,而是在改变工作的生态秩序。”福瑞泰克高级制造总监朱峰表示,公司内部正在进行一场“黑客马拉松”,鼓励全员拥抱AI,员工可以通过搭积木式展开Agent开发,将AI接入需求分析、代码测试到物料复线的全流程,目前福瑞泰克已经培养出了不止一个可以24小时运作的“数字员工”。
所有物理AI、工业AI与大模型奔涌,终究离不开算力底座支撑,除宏观层面的“乌镇之光”超算中心外,微观设备端随着芯片功耗陡增,眼下,数据中心如何高效散热、运转成为制约算力释放的关键。
目标下一代算力芯片的散热“引擎”,浙江芯寒智能科技有限公司于去年创立,成为桐乡一家深耕硬科技领域的企业。
芯寒智能运营总监朱志江介绍,针对下一代高密度算力数据中心,团队自研双相液冷技术。不同于传统风冷或单相液冷,双相液冷利用流体沸腾相变带走绝大部分热量,能将芯片温度额外降低10度左右,显著提升Token产出效率。
作为浙大博士团队创立的初创企业,芯寒智能直接瞄准英伟达Rubin架构之后的下一代液冷技术路线,为智算中心与AI工厂提供高密度“温水散热”方案,目前已与海内外头部芯片及服务器厂商展开样机验证。
如果说福瑞泰克、尚元智行、新生纪以及赛那德提供的是物理世界的“眼睛、手脚与躯干”,数翰科技提供着工业控制的“大脑”,大衍科技则在空间智能与合成数据维度,填补了从纯软件算法向真实物理世界跨越的中间桥梁,加之芯寒智能等AI算力基础设施的引擎驱动,桐乡的AI生态形成了严密闭环。
进化样本:全球化布局
此次在桐乡参观、交流的AI企业,覆盖了多条产业赛道,足见当地智能生态的蓬勃爆发,这背后得益于这方水土的提前规划与主动招商。
像代表桐乡主城区的梧桐街道,近五年虽未新增一处工业用地,但在这种土地资源稀缺的条件下,依然展现出了空间盘活与营商服务的能力。
“没有新用地,就通过‘腾笼换鸟’和高标准建设,在有限土地上打造低密度、高质量产业空间。”梧桐街道相关负责人在座谈中介绍,从智创园一期到四期,街道打造了超过20万平方米的智创园平台。
其中,智创园一期由数翰科技整体运营;智创园四期以11米层高、3吨以上承重的硬核工业标准,配建人才公寓及食堂、展厅等配套,专门招引电子信息与高价值智能制造企业。
通过腾退老旧工业园区,梧桐街道划出350亩土地打造百桃数字科创园,成功招引上海交大崇高院(桐乡高等研究院)先导区入驻,总投资约13亿元、建筑面积25万平方米以上,并预留100亩M0产业用地与6宗研发总部用地,形成“研发总部+科创平台+产业化”完整闭环。
同时,作为2026年国家数据产业集聚区试点,乌镇大数据高新技术产业园区已集聚数字经济企业369家,并与上海数据交易所共建乌镇合作中心,国家高新技术企业较2014年增长10倍,为入驻企业提供从算力、数据与场景支持。
比硬件配套更受企业关注的是服务效率。沈继中提及,新生纪落户桐乡4年多,已从约3000平方米的产研办公空间,扩增至如今超2万平方米的研发生产空间。他说,企业从图纸确认到厂房改造试生产,在桐乡只需要花两个月时间,“几乎是拎包入住”。
梧桐街道不仅提供“拿地即开工”的代办服务,还积极帮助企业解决外籍高管子女入学、海外归国人才社交圈搭建等微观诉求。
“不欺瞒、不夸大,实实在在对待每一个项目”,这种被称为“排在全省前列”的营商环境,构筑了桐乡留住科创企业的基础。
从出海进展看,这些成长于桐乡的AI企业,正将触角从长三角向全球化延伸。
福瑞泰克智驾系统已随中国车企出海至欧洲、东南亚、中南美及印度,一边在欧洲等海外国家部署属地化团队,一边摸索着打造成为当地“黑灯工厂”的模版;尚元智行的滑板底盘已进入俄罗斯、美国、中东等海外市场,为多家科技企业提供着自动驾驶的物理基座;新生纪的机器人产品正在欧美多个商用场景中替代着高昂的人工成本;芯寒智能的双相液冷技术,也正参与全球顶级芯片与算力厂商下一代标准制定。
随着2026年世界互联网大会临近,乌镇又将迎来自全球的嘉宾。在距离乌镇数公里的桐乡,AI落在具体设备与工序里:尚元智行与福瑞泰克共创的线控底盘上,激光雷达持续旋转;新生纪机器人完成无尘地面清扫;赛纳德机械臂在车厢内精准抓取;数翰科技的自研AI,正在安全边界内展开自适应实时寻优;大衍科技以合成数据生成着仿真场景;芯寒智能的液冷系统保障算力稳定运转。这些发生在实验室、车间产线里的细节,共同构成“AI乌镇、科创桐乡”的真实模样。(本文首发于钛媒体APP,文|钱方)

At the turn of autumn and winter, the town of Kiryu, on the side of the Kyo Hang Canal, always attracts the attention of the global scientific community.
As a permanent venue for the World Internet Congress, Kiryu commune is no longer content with the “location” label. Around the Conference, which never ends for 365 days, more than 700 “chamber shows” take root here every year.
It's the Internet. Over the past decade, the gross domestic product (GDP) has risen from 65.2 billion yuan in 2015 to 14.16 billion yuan, ranked 22nd place in the top 100 counties of the country, with a regulated industrial increase of 46.41 billion yuan; the value of the digital economy's core manufacturing production has increased almost fivefold, by 18.0 per cent over the same period last year, becoming the ninth county in Zhejiang province to enter the “billion billion clubs”.
This year, before the technology giants gathered at the town summit to launch an intellectual collision and a grand narrative around technological trajectories, traffic shifts and the digital economy, we went south on U-town Boulevard and walked into the park, laboratory and production lines of Kiryu commune to feel that an industrial fissure was happening.
It is not just the virtual number of jumps in server clusters, but it is becoming the physical energy that drives enterprise intelligence.
As can be seen, on the soil of Kiryu, there is a constant gathering of leading and new powers on the frontier industrial tracks of smart driving, smart and robotics, industrial AI, spatial intelligence and synthetic data, and AI computing infrastructure, which allow algorithms to move away from the dialogue box in the screen and allow AI to move on to online chassis, sensors, mechanical arms and larger hardware equipment.
According to the information received, not only is the country's most complete intellectual automobile industry chain and the “Integration of Road Clouds” piloting at the county and municipal levels, but it is moving from the “AI narrative” of the U-town summit to an industrial evolution of sample as an industrial village.
Ogurtsun: Science-based resource collection
To find a living microchip for the change of the town, the experience of Chairman Foretek, Dr. Zhang Lin, is undoubtedly the best narrative.
In 2016, for the first time, he came to the World Internet Congress in Kiryu, “When the technology giants came together, everybody was talking about the future of mobile Internet and digitalization”. Zhang Lin remembers what he said when he first met Kiryu.
Zhang Lin finally chose to root out a major base for the intellectual manufacturing and development of Forrest. Foretek, which has focused on advanced driving aids and auto-driving systems technology, has grown into a leading domestic third-party intelligent driving enterprise with a revenue of over $2.2 billion in 2025, with its smart driving system carrying local and international brand models travelling around the globe.
From Zhang Lin's perspective, the trajectory of the upgrading of the Qin township AI industry is clear: moving from a “soft connection” to a “hard core” of physical AI and industrial intelligence.
“The Long Triangle and the Pearl Triangle have the most sophisticated manufacturing ecology in the world. From car-grade electronics, mechanicals to gear speed, you can run through POC here as fast as you can.
While smart driving represents the intelligentness of cars, in Zhang Lin ' s view it is also a pilot experiment for Panphysical AI. Today, the spillover effect of smart driving is being fully released from the size of the motor vehicle automation system to the millimetre wave radar technology to the 4D imaging radar, robotic perception.
As a result of industry talks and park visits, we have found that the country of Kiryu is dependent on a “triple brain net” — the industrial ecology of intelligent cars, intelligent computing, intelligent sensing, industrial Internet formation, and the synergy of industrial chains.
Fretec, in developing a new cable chassis test vehicle, found the "Systeming Partners" Sang Won Ji-won at a business symposium organized by the Lui Luang Normalization Organization.
It is not just the initiative to set up orders and scenes for up and down the industrial chain, local government platforms, such as Kiryu-sung Street, but also a platform for the establishment of “homes of return” for the park's operators, including Kumhan, Shinboji, and expatriate teams, bringing together high-level talent from universities in and out of the sea, so that the village can become a community of creative resources.
Kikumura Ecology: AI Industry Narrative
Walking into production lines and laboratories in enterprises in Kiryu commune, the AI front track is no longer a paper-based concept, but rather a reality scene of machine booming and algorithm evolution.
As an important physical vehicle for the first pilot of the National Network of Smart Networks “Integration of Road Clouds” in Kiryu commune, the unmanned distribution vehicle on board the cable-controlled skateboard bottomboard at Sangwon Ji-sung ' s Technology Company Ltd. is completing precise parking, shelter and route planning.
As the core technical base of Physical AI, Sangwon Ji-won focuses on unmanned solutions such as low- and medium-speed skateboard bottom development and production, the products of which can be decorated into three modules: skateboard bottom, brain-drive and 100-variable modules.
The person in charge of the Sangwon Ji-won Bank gave a set of data, which, with high precision line-controlled shifts, brakes and a global redundancy structure, has resulted in a total output of more than 11,000 cable-controlled chassis and 100 million kilometres of L4-class autopilot miles.
From the Chinese postal system, where 7,000 large bills are not distributed, to urban gas patrols, police patrols and even the sale of no one in the cold chain, Sang-won's smart chassis is becoming a “two feet” for space intelligence to travel through the physical world.
It's not just the mindless, but the power of Kiryu Industries is being tested by complex scenarios in a race between smart and commercial robotics.
A commercial cleaner robot is undergoing full factor testing before leaving the factory on the newly opened production line of Kashin Neogen Smart Technologies Ltd.
Unlike home sweepers, commercial environments have high requirements for edge precision, complex barriers and concessions. “In the business scene, collisions are accidents.” The co-founder of the New Year's Chronicle, Shen, explained.
It is known that, through multi-sensor integration algorithms and space perception training, the new-born commercial robots have reached over 97 per cent clean coverage in many terminal scenarios and have successfully accessed large overseas public transport hubs and markets, such as Incheon Airport in Korea and Sakai Airport in Singapore.
In industrial logistics, “last 20 meters”, Senad uses a tracked chassis, a seven-axis mechanical arm and a self-study physical engine model, based on the accumulation of a large volume of real sceneal data, with a focus on demolitions and automatic loading and unloading as a whole, and commercialization in tobacco and alcohol tap enterprises.
High-profile physical AI development has led to the emergence of Artificial Technology (Gymnasium) Limited as an innovative local enterprise in space intelligence and synthetic data tracks. According to the Chief Researcher, Dao Hae-chul, he is helping to break the cost bottlenecks in data collection in the real world by enabling automatic driving, smartness and industrial logistics to provide such business clients with indispensable “virtual testing grounds” and “data fuels”.
Zhejiang Technology Ltd., which works to provide smart control upgrades to clients in the chemical, environmental, energy, semiconductor and other industries, has been a representative of Zhejiang Industries AI since 2019.
In response to high energy consumption and high risk in the traditional process industry, and the pains of high process coupling and long chains of production, the Shia Science and Technology self-study the AI Decision Control System to break down the traditional control unit, single circuit control limits and achieve AI ' s autonomous understanding, planning and implementation.
In fact, when AI and advanced manufacturing are driving the evolution of industrial water villages, it is also self-evolution within the country's intellectual enterprises. In Foretek's manufacturing workshop, industrial AI is re-establishing the traditional MES logic.
In the face of over 2,000 complex electronic vehicle materials and heavy production schedules, the Furetek manufacturing team directly supports the production of worksheets by deploying internal AI Agent to automate stock balances, customer needs and production schedules.
“We are no longer talking about a ‘downgrade’, but about changing the ecological order of our work.” Foretek Senior Manufacturing Director Zhu Feng stated that there was a “blacking marathon” within the company that encouraged the whole staff to embrace AI, and that staff could use the building blocks to develop Agent and test the full process of AI's access needs analysis, code testing, and that there was now more than one “digital workforce” that could operate on a 24-hour basis.
All physical AI, industrial AI, and LLM surges, and ultimately cannot be supported by a base of computing power. In addition to the macro-level “U-town light” super-calculator centre, micro-equipment ends increase dramatically as chips are used, and now how data centres spread heat efficiently and operate becomes the key to limiting computing.
Zhejiang Zhejiang Zhiqiang Smart Technology Ltd. was founded last year as a firm in the field of hard-growing technology in Kiryu.
Zhu Zhijiang, Director General of Smart Operations, Chishiro, presented the team ' s self-study of dual-phase liquid cooling technologies for the next generation of high-density computing data centres. Unlike traditional wind or single-phase liquid cooling, double-phase liquid cooling takes most of the heat away using fluid boiling, which can reduce chip temperatures by about 10 degrees, significantly increasing Token output efficiency.
As a start-up enterprise created by the Dr. Zhe Dae Dynasty team, the core cold intelligence directly targeted the next generation of liquid cold technology routes following the British Rubin structure, and provided a high-density “temperature heat” programme for the Centre of IQC and the AI plant, which is currently being tested with both offshore and offshore head chips and servers.
If Foretek, Sangwon Ji-soo, Shinji, and Senad provide the “eyes, hands, feet, and torso” of the physical world, hectic technology provides industrially controlled “brain”, and hectic technology fills the intermediate bridge from pure software algorithms to the real physical world, and the engine-driven AI computational infrastructure, such as the core cold, with the AI ecology of the Kiryu countryside being closed.
Evolution sample: Globalization
The IAI company, which visited and interacted in Kiryu commune, covered a number of industrial tracks and witnessed the explosion of the local intelligent ecology, thanks to the advance planning and proactive recruitment of the soil.
In the past five years, the lack of a new industrial land, such as a street representing the main town of Kiryu, has demonstrated the ability to operate in space and to operate commercial services under such scarce land resources.
“Without new land, low-density, high-quality industrial space is built on limited land through `cages for birds' and high standards.” In the course of the talks, the leaders of the street in question described the fact that, from the first to the fourth issues of the establishment, the street had built over 200,000 square metres of the platform.
Among them, the first phase of the intellectual creation park is run by the whole of Shigeh technology; the fourth edition of the intellectual creation park is a hard-nuclear industry standard with a height of 11 metres and a weight of more than 3 tons, accompanied by the construction of talent apartments and canteens, exhibition halls, etc., specifically aimed at attracting electronic information and high-value intelligent manufacturing enterprises.
By retreating from old industrial parks, 350 acres of land were set aside in the streets for the creation of a pomegranate digital park, which succeeded in bringing in the leading area of the Shanghai Magnasium (Shanghai Institute of Higher Studies and Research), with a total investment of about 1.3 billion yuan and an area of more than 250,000 square metres in construction, and the retention of 100 acres of M0 industrial land and six R & D headquarters land, which resulted in the complete closure of the “Research and Development Headquarters + Science and Innovation Platform + Industry”.
At the same time, as a pilot of the National Data Industry Cluster in 2026, the Utsun Grand Data and High Technology Industrial Park has brought together 369 digital economy enterprises and, together with the Shanghai Data Exchange, has established a Utsun Cooperation Centre, which is 10 times more powerful, data and scene support than in 2014.
Services efficiency is more of an enterprise ' s concern than hardware packages. Shen continued to mention that, for more than four years now, the new era has seen an expansion from about 3,000 square metres of production space to over 20,000 square metres of research and development production space. He states that it takes two months for the enterprise to identify itself from the drawings to the factory renovation test production, “almost packed in”.
The street offers not only “land-to-work” substitute services, but also helps businesses to address micro-claims such as the enrolment of children of foreign executives and the social networking of expatriates.
“No deception, no exaggeration, no real treatment of each project”, a business environment known as “the province at the forefront”, has created the basis for the retention of enterprises in Kiryu commune.
These AI enterprises, which have grown up in Kiryu, are extending the tentacles from the long triangle to globalization, as seen by the progress made at sea.
The Fretec system has travelled with Chinese cars to Europe, South-East Asia, South and South America, and India, while deploying territorializing teams in overseas countries such as Europe, trying to model itself as a local “blacklight factory”; Sang Won’s skateboard bottoms have entered foreign markets such as Russia, the United States, and the Middle East, providing many technology firms with a physical base for self-driving; neo-genocular robotics are replacing high labour costs in many commercial scenarios in Europe and the United States; and the bi-phased liquid cooling technology of the cyanide is also participating in the development of global top-level chips and next-generation standards for comptoirers.
As the World Internet Congress of 2026 approaches, the town of Ursa will welcome guests from around the globe. In the Kiryu commune, a few kilometres from Uratown, AI falls on specific equipment and processes: the laser radar continues to rotate on the cable chassis created by Sangwon Ji-won and Foretek; the neogen robot has completed dustless ground cleaning; the arm of Seinad has been fine-tuned inside the carriage; the self-study of Hencian technology is developing self-adapted real-time excellence within a secure border; mega-tech is producing a simulation of the situation with synthetic data; and the hydro-cool system is functioning steadily. These details, which took place in the laboratories, workshops and production lines, together constitute the true pattern of “Aiu Township, Koteng Township”.
