In June 2025 a Shenzhen comprehensive-reform opinion let Greater Bay Area companies listed in Hong Kong return to the Shenzhen exchange under policy rules, opening a fresh capital path. Dobot, which landed on the Hong Kong bourse in December 2024, seized the opening as the first GBA H-share-to-A case, announced a Shenzhen listing in December 2025 and finished IPO tutoring in April 2026.
The China Securities Regulatory Commission then issued a ChiNext reform paper on 10 April backing quality pre-revenue innovators, and Dobot’s application was accepted just 17 days later. The Shenzhen exchange says its initial public offering will go before the listing committee on 22 July, less than three months from acceptance to hearing.
With JAKA Robotics’ STAR Market attempt terminated in December 2025, Dobot is positioned to claim the title of first A-share collaborative-robot stock. Its Hong Kong debut netted HK$681 million, followed by two H-share placements worth about HK$1.8 billion for embodied-AI research.
This ChiNext push seeks RMB 1.2 billion. By priority, RMB 550 million goes to multi-legged robot research and industrialisation, RMB 250 million to humanoid-robot technology, RMB 100 million to marketing, and the remaining RMB 300 million to working capital. The two fundraisings complement each other, building a complete capital base from collaborative robots up to humanoid and multi-legged embodied robots.
