Application Scenario List / Scenario Opening

应用场景清单 / 场景开放Advanced

Governments or state firms publish real business scenarios where new technology can be trialed, and invite companies in.

This is a common industrial-policy tool used by local governments, state-owned enterprises, and industrial parks in China: they compile their own real operations — a government-service hall needing a receptionist-guide, a factory needing inspection, a warehouse needing sorting, an elder-care facility, and so on — into a public “scenario list,” inviting companies to apply, with selected companies allowed to trial their technology on-site, sometimes with accompanying procurement or subsidies. At the national level, the Ministry of Science and Technology and other agencies issued a notice in 2022 promoting scenario innovation as a way to drive AI adoption. For robotics companies, the biggest challenge is often finding a customer willing to let a robot onto its site and generate real data and orders, which scenario opening is designed to solve — which is why it appears frequently in local embodied-AI support policies.
