UBTech takes No. 11 on Fortune's 2026 Future 120 list

The Shenzhen humanoid maker is the highest-ranked Chinese company on the Fortune-BCG growth list, with full-size humanoid revenue up 1,445% in H1.

UBTech Robotics placed No. 11 on the 2026 Fortune Future 120, the ranking of the world's 120 companies with the strongest future growth potential compiled by Fortune and Boston Consulting Group. With a score of 115, UBTech is the highest-ranked Chinese company on the list, which includes 11 Chinese firms.

The list screens more than 3,500 companies on growth ambition, talent density, and growth culture. UBTech outranks a string of global tech giants on the same list — Nvidia at No. 16, OpenAI at No. 18, Apple at No. 55, Tesla at No. 87, and Meta at No. 120.

The ranking lands on top of a strong first half: UBTech reported H1 2026 total revenue of RMB 1.27 billion, up 104.2% year over year, with overall humanoid robot sales up 268.3%. Revenue from full-size embodied-intelligence humanoids rose 1,445%, with unit sales up 1,946.7%.

In September, UBTech's 10,000-unit-capacity humanoid super factory went into production, closing the loop from R&D to scaled manufacturing and delivery. The company says 2026 is the year it pushes industrial, commercial, and home-consumer scenarios in parallel, works with upstream partners on core components — servo drives, dexterous hands, edge AI chips — and takes part in national and industry standard-setting.

The placement is a reminder that the humanoid scorecard is shifting from funding headlines to revenue: triple- and quadruple-digit growth in shipped-product revenue is exactly what a future-growth list is designed to reward — and UBTech now carries the highest Chinese flag on it.
