On August 29, 2025, the finals and award ceremony of the second Guangzhou Veterans Entrepreneurship and Innovation Competition, under the theme "Veterans Returning to Guangzhou, Creating and Sharing the Future," were grandly held at the Guangzhou Nansha International Talent Port. Led by Zhang Zhizhong (a veteran), Chairman of Lingdu Intelligence, and General Manager Huang Junsheng, the team presented their core project: "Smart Lingdu, Pure Elevation – The Global Inventor and Leader in High-Altitude Façade Cleaning Robots." Emerging victorious from 85 initial entries, the project successfully secured the first prize. This honor not only affirms Lingdu Intelligence's technological innovation capabilities but also vividly exemplifies the entrepreneurial spirit of military veterans.
This competition, hosted by the Guangzhou Bureau of Veterans Affairs, is guided by General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions on veterans' affairs and actively implements the deployment of the 4th Guangdong Provincial Veterans Entrepreneurship and Innovation Competition. It aims to identify and nurture high-quality entrepreneurship and innovation projects by veterans, injecting new impetus into their employment and business initiatives. The preliminary evaluation was completed on August 25. Eighty-five participating projects were rigorously assessed by a panel of senior judges from previous national and provincial competitions, experts from entrepreneurship colleges, and well-known investors, focusing on innovation and leadership, social value, team strength, and market prospects. Only 50 projects advanced to the semi-finals, with just 10 top projects selected from each track for the final. Lingdu Intelligence, with its outstanding project value and industrial potential, emerged as one of the top 50, rightfully deserving this recognition.
As a technology-driven innovative enterprise integrating the R&D, production, sales and brand operation of cleaning robots, Lingdu Intelligence has always focused on addressing industry pain points, with the mission of "Empowering Safety with Technology, Leading the Future through Innovation". Our core product, the high-altitude curtain wall cleaning robot, leverages independently developed AI visual recognition systems and multiple safety protection mechanisms to effectively solve the problems of high risk and low efficiency in traditional high-altitude cleaning operations. It provides an intelligent and standardized solution for the maintenance of urban building curtain walls. This product not only significantly reduces the safety risks of manual operations but also greatly improves cleaning efficiency. It has been successfully applied in over 100 landmark buildings at home and abroad, winning wide recognition in the market.
This award stems from Lingdu Intelligence's persistent pursuit of innovation and its in-depth commitment to social value. During the evaluation process, our project demonstrated unique advantages in terms of innovation: the robot adopts a modular design, supports remote-controlled intelligent operations, and can adapt to various curtain wall materials. In terms of social value, it aligns with the national work safety strategy and contributes to the refined management of cities. Regarding the team's strength, led by Chairman Zhang Zhizhong, a veteran, the team integrates professional R&D personnel and market operation experts, forming an efficient collaboration model characterized by "military spirit + innovation".
Chairman Zhang Zhizhong stated, "As a veteran, we have a deep understanding of responsibility and commitment. Every step of Lingdu Intelligence's innovation originates from our reverence for safety and our promise to society. This award is a starting point, not an end."
The establishment and development of Lingdu Intelligence have always been closely linked to the entrepreneurial spirit of veterans. Chairman Zhang Zhizhong once served in the Guangdong Provincial Armed Police Corps. After retirement, he integrated the perseverance, discipline, and innovative spirit of military personnel into the company's DNA. This award is not only a recognition of the product but also a strong testament to the veterans' spirit of "remaining true to their original aspirations after retirement and embarking on a new journey through entrepreneurship".
In the future, Lingdu Intelligence will take this opportunity to continuously deepen the R&D of high-altitude curtain wall cleaning robot technology and accelerate product iteration and national market layout. We plan to complete the intelligent upgrading of products by 2026, expand to diverse scenarios such as smart parks and transportation hubs, further reduce safety risks in the industry, and enhance service value. Meanwhile, the company will actively participate in veteran entrepreneurship support programs, provide technical training and resource support for more veterans aspiring to technological innovation, and help build a sound ecosystem of "entrepreneurship-innovation-win-win".
We would like to express our gratitude to the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Veterans Affairs, the competition organizing committee, and the review experts for their professional guidance, as well as to our partners and customers for their support and trust. Lingdu Intelligence will always uphold the original aspiration of "technology for good", promote the development of the industry through practical innovation, and contribute solid strength to urban safety and high-quality development.
