SHENZHEN, BERLIN and NEW YORK, 25 Aug. 2026 – Shenzhen InnoX Academy and XbotPark, operating an innovation ecosystem that has launched four publicly-listed companies and 12 unicorns, each valued at over $1 billion USD – including DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology — will introduce journalists to a new generation of 14 AI and hardware startups at ShowStoppers® @ IFA 2026 https://www.showstoppers.com.
