Southern Finance and Economics 21st Century Business Herald reporter Huang Zihao reports from Guangzhou
On September 4th, the 32nd Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) SME Ministerial Meeting was held in Guangzhou. The conference site has created a unique interactive experience area, divided into two major sections: technology interaction and cultural and creative life. Through touchable and interactive methods, the attendees can experience the thickness of Guangzhou's manufacturing and the warmth of urban culture up close.
Entering the experience area, the technology interactive section adopts a combination of static display and interactive experience, showcasing innovative products such as GAC Trumpchi's high-end new energy vehicles, Haige Technology's full-color 3D printing equipment, and Kuku AI coffee robots. At the conference venue, the Kuku AI coffee robot booth attracted numerous guests to stop and experience. They only need to upload any picture on their mobile phone, and the robot can replicate 3D milk foam latte art based on the picture, producing a customized cup of coffee in 60 seconds.
Panita Shinawatra, the acting director of the Thai Small and Medium Enterprise Promotion Agency, is one of the foreign guests who have been attracted by this coffee robot. After immersing herself in fully automated coffee making, she repeatedly praised it, saying, "It's amazing. It's a fun experience to have a cup of coffee with a photo printed on it in the morning." She admitted, "I've never seen this before, it's an innovative technology from Guangdong." At the end of the interview, Panita smiled and said that if given the opportunity, she would like to buy one and send it back to Thailand to open a coffee shop.
The journey of a coffee robot from "planting grass" to "wanting to buy" reflects the hardcore strength of Guangdong's technological innovation in attracting fans. The experience story of Panita Sinava is not an exception – this grand gathering of Asia Pacific wisdom is leaving the thickness of Guangdong's intelligent manufacturing and the vitality of Guangdong's innovation in the hearts of every attending guest in a visible and tangible way.
