Foshan Nanhai Talent Bureau Leaders Visit Leanplans | Dialogue on Regional AI Manufacturing Collaboration
Recently, a delegation from the Talent Bureau of Nanhai District, Foshan City, visited Leanplans Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “the company”) to conduct in-depth discussions and exchanges. The talks centered on core topics such as the innovative application of vertical-specific large AI models in smart manufacturing, industrial collaboration mechanisms, and talent recruitment and cultivation systems.
The delegation included the head of the Nanhai District Industrial Talent Development Bureau, representatives from two industrial investment funds, and experts in the smart manufacturing field. The company’s founder, Product and Technology Director, and Head of Market Operations accompanied the delegation throughout the visit, providing detailed insights into the company’s operations and innovations.
01
Focus on Vertical-Specific AI Models
- 80% increase in design efficiency,
- 20% reduction in procurement costs,
- 30% shorter delivery cycles.
These outcomes have established a replicable case library for digital transformation, providing actionable benchmarks for industry peers.
The Foshan Nanhai government delegation highly commended the company’s technological approach and industrial practices. They further elaborated on recent policies and strategic directions: “As a national pilot zone for manufacturing transformation and upgrading, Foshan is advancing the ‘Digital Foshan’ initiative to drive comprehensive digitization. The integration of AI large models with smart manufacturing serves as a critical engine to propel traditional industries toward high-end, intelligent manufacturing.”

Policy Tailwinds Drive Cross-Regional Synergy
In recent years, governments across China have rolled out intensive policy support for AI large-scale model industries. Since the 2025 “First Meeting of the Year”—a landmark policy conference signaling strategic priorities—government agencies at all levels have strengthened policy advocacy and implementation. Initiatives include on-site visits to AI enterprises and the establishment of industrial collaboration platforms to accelerate technology commercialization.
Shenzhen, leveraging its ”20+8″ industrial cluster strategy, prioritizes intelligent computing infrastructure and industrial robotics. Meanwhile, Foshan’s Nanhai District unveiled the Nanhai District Action Plan for High-Quality Digital Economy Development (2024-2026) at the 2024 Digital Economy Conference. The plan outlines a three-year “Intelligent Manufacturing Hub” initiative, including:
- A 5 billion yuan special fund to support industrial internet platforms,
- Development of smart manufacturing demonstration factories,
- Digital transformation diagnostic services for SMEs.
Both sides agreed during discussions that Shenzhen’s algorithm R&D strengths and Nanhai’s manufacturing ecosystem are highly complementary. A collaborative model—“R&D in Shenzhen, Implementation in Nanhai”—was proposed to fast-track the industrialization of AI large models.
Statement by Neil, Founder of the Company:“Foshan’s robust manufacturing foundation provides a fertile testing ground for vertical-specific large AI models. We aim to collaborate closely with manufacturing enterprises in Nanhai to explore deeply customized applications of these models in niche industries, unlocking tailored solutions for sector-specific challenges.”
