According to DeepLearning.AI, Hangzhou is rapidly establishing itself as a major AI technology hub, driven by its 'six little dragons'—five leading AI companies (DeepSeek, BrainCo, Deep Robotics, ManyCore, Unitree Robotics) and game studio Game Science. The city leverages strategic subsidies, tax incentives, and partnerships with Zhejiang University for top-tier AI talent, while providing companies with access to Alibaba Cloud and high-performance GPUs. These initiatives have created a fertile environment for AI innovation, attracting startups and established tech firms alike and positioning Hangzhou as a competitive center for AI research, robotics, and commercial applications (source: DeepLearning.AI via The Batch, 2025).
