UAE’s Stone Venture Leads Zhishen Tech’s Several-Hundred-Million-Yuan Series B
According to a Sept. 22 report by STAR Market Daily, primary-market investors have become more cautious after the first-half frenzy in embodied AI. They are now pressing for commercialization, which has intensified valuation debates and made project screening stricter.
Against that backdrop, Zhishen Technology still closed a Series B round worth several hundred million yuan. The round was led by UAE-based Stone Venture (Leishi Capital), with Hongshan Capital and Yueke Financial participating, the report said. Zhishen Technology develops robotics and embodied-AI systems.
The financing underscores how Middle East capital is increasingly betting on Chinese robotics. For Zhishen, the funds are expected to support product development, commercialization, and market expansion. The deal also shows that high-quality embodied-AI startups can attract capital even as the sector cools.
That trend may continue as investors look for companies with clearer deployment paths. The participation of Stone Venture suggests Gulf funds are seeking exposure to China’s fast-growing robotics supply chain.
