Recently , the China-Germany Economic Roundtable was grandly held in Guangzhou. As a globally leading provider of industrial software and intelligent digital services, SIE was invited to participate in this prestigious event, engaging with political and business leaders from China and Germany, as well as representatives of leading enterprises in intelligent manufacturing, industrial software, and artificial intelligence. The roundtable was co-chaired by Ling Ji, Vice Minister of Commerce of China, and Robert Habeck, Minister of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, convening nearly two hundred elite political and business figures from China and Germany to hold high-level discussions on key topics such as bilateral investment, industrial innovation, and open cooperation.
The latest economic and trade data announced at the conference were impressive and stood as the central highlight of this conference In 2025, China became Germany’s largest source of foreign investment projects. In the same year, China-Germany trade volume reached USD 211.1 billion , accounting for one-quarter of China-EU trade; in the first four months of this year, bilateral trade increased by 13% year-on-year. Katherina Reiche, Minister of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy explicitly stated, 'Germany's production technology and China’s artificial intelligence will unlock substantial growth potential.' Under the new wave of the AI technology revolution, the deep integration of intelligent manufacturing and artificial intelligence has become the defining theme of China-Germany industrial cooperation.
As a global benchmark for high-end manufacturing and precision engineering, Germany has long led the development of global manufacturing with its mature Industry 4.0 system and high-quality industrial ecosystem, and it is now actively embracing digitalization and artificial intelligence to accelerate the upgrading of traditional industrial systems. Boasting a full-fledged industrial chain, abundant manufacturing scenarios and world-leading capabilities in industrial rollout of AI ， China and Germany enjoy highly complementary industrial strengths and ample room for collaboration. The two countries continue to unlock new opportunities for in-depth cooperation in intelligent manufacturing and cross-border industrial coordination.
With over twenty years of in-depth engagement in manufacturing digitalization and intelligence, SIE has positioned 'Industrial AI' as its core strategic lever, building a full-stack proprietary system encompassing 'computing power, models, AI toolchains, and manufacturing AI applications'. Its self-developed enterprise-level AI platform, Shanmo GPT, along with its industrial large model recognized as a 'Leader' in the IDC MarketScape 2025, are deeply adapted to core scenarios such as complex production processes in high-end manufacturing, flexible production, and quality control. They precisely address the pain points in the digital transformation of the precision manufacturing industry and are closely aligned with development requirements of the German Industry 4.0 framework for, refinemen, intelligence and standardization.
Relying on the Gushen Industrial Internet Platform and our self-developed full-stack industrial digital product system, SIE is deeply rooted in core manufacturing sectors such as high-end equipment, automotive components, and high-tech electronics, accumulating extensive industrial scenario implementation experience and profound industry know-how. It provide enterprises with full-chain digital intelligence solutions supporting digital transformation and global layout. At the same time, the company continuously enhances its global strategic layout, leveraging the international hub advantages of Hong Kong, China, and has established 25 delivery bases worldwide, constructing a mature "1+2+N" global service system. This system forms a full-scenario product matrix covering 23 key industries and 11 core business lines, creating an integrated and actionable digital intelligence service loop encompassing consulting and planning, software development, implementation and delivery, and operation and maintenance. This enables Chinese manufacturing enterprises to build global business systems and expand into overseas markets, and also provides standardized, localized, and scalable full-cycle digital intelligence support for Sino-German cross-border industrial cooperation.
In this conference, SIE deeply participated in the exchange on cutting-edge industries between China and Germany, gaining firsthand insights into global smart manufacturing development trends, the direction of industrial digitalization upgrades in Germany, and the latest dynamics of China-Europe industrial cooperation. This enabled a precise grasp of the opportunities for Sino-German economic, trade, and intelligent manufacturing collaboration in the new era, further broadening the company's perspective on international development and its scope of industrial cooperation.
