Geekplus
极智嘉
Geekplus (极智嘉, 02590.HK) is a global logistics robotics company founded by Yong Zheng , positioning itself as "a great robotics company" with a vision to become core infrastructure for global logistics automation . It was an early mover in China's warehouse-robotics sector, deploying its first commercial picking system during the 2015 Singles' Day shopping festival and later expanding internationally starting with Japan in 2017 . The company has raised multiple rounds including a $100 million Series E1 in 2022 at a post-money valuation exceeding $2 billion, with investors such as Intel Capital, Vertex Ventures China, and Gaorong Ventures—which co-led Geekplus's Series A in 2016 and has backed it through subsequent rounds . Geekplus listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2025 .
More recently, the company has pivoted toward embodied intelligence: it established a dedicated subsidiary in July 2025 and unveiled Geek+ Brain, a foundation model for warehouse scenarios, alongside a general-purpose robotic arm system for piece-picking across highly varied SKUs . It has also deepened partnerships with Intel and Microsoft and made a strategic investment in fellow robotics firm J-Elephant .
