Who is AGIBOT — and how Serbia fits its '50 factories' plan
It is easy to read Serbia's robot story as a Serbian story. Mechanically, the centre of gravity is the Chinese partner. AGIBOT — an embodied-AI specialist that, by its own account citing industry analysts, ranked first in the world for humanoid-robot shipments in 2025 — supplies the intelligence and the product families. Understanding the company puts both the promise and the scale in proportion.
The company and its line-up
In February 2026 AGIBOT presented its full portfolio to the European market in Munich, with Minth as its regional sales partner. The range spans full-sized humanoids (A2), compact humanoids (X2), industrial dual-arm robots (G2) and inspection quadrupeds (D1). This is the catalogue Serbia's Šabac line would draw on — off-the-shelf product families, not a bespoke Serbian design.
The '50 factories' frame
Around AGIBOT sits the larger ambition Serbian officials have voiced: on the order of 50 data factories between 2026 and 2030, each reportedly needing roughly 600 MW of power, with early cost estimates near €100 million for the initial joint project — a figure separate from, and much smaller than, the €953 million package of state-visit agreements. The recurring claim is that Serbia would be the first European country to mass-produce humanoids.
The plan is that serial production of 1,000 to 2,000 robots would begin in 2026 or 2027.
That timeline is attributed to AGIBOT's Europe leadership; like the rest of the numbers, it is a plan, not a shipped result.
The honest read
A world-leading partner makes the hardware plausible in a way a startup would not — AGIBOT can genuinely supply capable machines. It also means the strategically valuable part, the embodied AI, sits in Beijing, not Belgrade. Serbia's upside depends on how much of that stack it can localise over time. Rojium watches AGIBOT because, for now, the robots that would carry a “made in Serbia” assembly stamp are fundamentally AGIBOT's designs.

The plan splits cleanly: joints, chassis, motors and housings from Serbian plants; the AI 'brain' from China's AGIBOT. That division decides how much value actually stays in Serbia.
