Shenzhen's first comprehensive insurance policy for an embodied AI robot was issued in Longhua on May 27, highlighting the district's efforts to develop new financial tools for emerging technologies and industrial innovation. 

The policy was unveiled at the "Insurance Capital for Longhua" and High-Quality Development Conference of Longhua's Insurance Industry, held at the Shenzhen (Longhua) International Cooperation Center.

Issued jointly by PICC Property and Casualty Insurance Company's Shenzhen branch and Leju Robotics, the policy is designed to provide risk protection for embodied intelligent robots, an emerging sector attracting growing attention as robots move from laboratories into real-world applications.

The robot insurance policy was one of several initiatives announced at the conference as Longhua seeks to strengthen links between finance, technology and industry.

Representatives launch the "Insurance+ Talent" program during the conference in Longhua on May 27.

The district launched three new "Insurance+" service models focused on talent, technology and industrial parks. Among them, the technology-focused program aims to provide stronger risk protection for innovative companies throughout the research, development and commercialization process.

Longhua also established an Overseas Expansion Risk Protection Service Station and launched an industry risk protection consortium to support companies entering international markets. The platform integrates resources from export credit insurers, insurance providers and cross-border financial institutions, offering services ranging from country-risk alerts and overseas risk protection to policy-backed financing.

In another move, Longhua signed strategic cooperation agreements with insurance institutions and launched specialized insurance capital programs targeting industrial development, urban infrastructure and housing projects.

The conference also saw the establishment of the Insurance Alliance for Technology Innovation and Industrial Development, bringing together government agencies, insurers, enterprises and research institutions to support investment and insurance solutions for technology innovation and advanced manufacturing.

Home to one of Shenzhen's largest manufacturing bases and a growing cluster of robotics, AI and export-oriented companies, Longhua has increasingly focused on developing financial services tailored to the needs of technology-driven industries.

Officials said the latest measures are intended to channel more long-term capital toward innovation, industrial upgrading and international business expansion, supporting the district's broader goal of building a "Digital Longhua" economy.
