China’s securities watchdog has officially greenlit Unitree Robotics’ registration to go public on Shanghai’s STAR Market, removing the last major regulatory barrier for the humanoid robot maker to price and sell its shares. Reuters confirmed the approval on Thursday, placing the planned offering at roughly $619 million (4.2 billion yuan), a valuation that closely aligns with earlier market expectations.
This milestone marks a significant step for Unitree, which has gained international attention for its advanced robotics technology. The company’s IPO on the STAR Market, China’s equivalent of Nasdaq, will provide it with fresh capital to scale production and accelerate research and development in the competitive humanoid robotics sector.
The approval signals China’s continued support for high-tech enterprises, particularly those operating in cutting-edge fields like artificial intelligence and robotics. For Unitree, the listing could fuel expansion plans and strengthen its position against global rivals in the race to commercialize humanoid robots for industrial and consumer applications.
