The company says a two-phase plan starts with an R&D headquarters and joint laboratories, followed by tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in investment.

AGIBOT opened an office at Times Square in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, on 9 October. The company says it will support commercial collaboration, applications and partnerships with universities and research institutions. Hong Kong government officials attended.

AGIBOT's stated plan has two phases: first an international R&D headquarters and joint laboratories with local universities, then a larger R&D team and investment of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in labs and university partnerships. Target sectors include retail, hospitality, entertainment, manufacturing, logistics and exhibitions.

The company also says its 20,000th robot came off the production line in September. That figure is AGIBOT's own and covers all its robot types.
