The Next Web·medium signal

Shenzhen-based EngineAI — founded only in 2023 — filed confidentially for a Hong Kong IPO (reported June 12), working with China International Capital Corp and Citic Securities, on the heels of a $200M Series B that valued it at ~$1.5B. On June 1 it opened a 12,000 m² factory and began shipping its T800 humanoid, claiming a line that produces one robot every 15 minutes toward 10,000 units. It's part of a broader Chinese humanoid IPO wave (Unitree reportedly targeting ~$7B, Agibot ~$6B), signaling 'embodied AI' is moving from demos toward public-market scale.
