Chinese robotics startup **Unitree Robotics** is preparing for an initial public offering (IPO) with a potential valuation of up to 50 billion yuan ($7 billion), *Reuters* [reported](https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/chinese-robotics-firm-unitree-eyeing-7-billion-ipo-valuation-sources-say-2025-09-08/?ref=theleftshift.com). 

Unitree plans to list on Shanghai’s STAR Market, targeting one of the largest onshore tech IPOs in recent years. The IPO comes as Beijing increases support for tech champions amid a renewed focus on robotics, AI, and semiconductor development, driven by an ageing population and rising U.S.-China tech competition.

Founded in 2016, Unitree has grown rapidly, serving Chinese universities, entertainment events, and commercial applications. The company counts over 30 investors, including [Alibaba](https://www.theleftshift.com/alibaba-unveils-1-trillion-parameter-qwen3-max-preview-model/), Tencent, and Geely Holding Group, and reported annual revenue exceeding 1 billion yuan as of June 2025.

The IPO, still in early stages, is expected to submit listing documents in Q4\. While the target valuation would mark a significant leap from Unitree’s previous 12 billion yuan funding round, the final size will depend on market conditions and investor demand. 

The Hangzhou-based firm, known for its humanoid robots capable of walking, climbing, and carrying loads, has captured global attention with viral demonstration videos released last year.
