The activation opened May 17 at Chinese Culture and Art Night under “When Technology Meets Craftsmanship,” spotlighting Chinese heritage. On May 18, X2 mingled with industry leaders, athletes, and fashion icons at the Fashion Connect Asian Film Fashion Night Cocktail.
There, X2 stood alongside Duckens Nazon, captain of the Haiti National Football Team, marking AGIBOT’s expansion into sports analytics. This crossover will continue in Atlanta, a 2026 FIFA World Cup host city, focusing on sports training and stadium navigation.
X2 also shared the stage with Forbes-endorsed influencer Hofit Golan and Kate Alexeeva, Miss Universe Latvia titleholder and host of the gala.
