Founded in 1999 and inaugurated by then-Premier Zhu Rongji, the China Hi-Tech Fair (CHTF) is widely known as "China's No.1 Technology Exhibition." Held annually in Shenzhen -- the world's hardware capital -- the 28th edition takes place in November 2026 at the Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center in Bao'an. Organized by the Shenzhen Municipal Government, CHTF 2026 is built around the theme of "New Technology, New Materials, New Energy," and is expected to draw over 450,000 professional visitors including hardware engineers, technology investors, startup founders, and corporate innovation teams from around the world.

Walking through CHTF is like taking the pulse of China's innovation engine. University labs, research institutes, and fast-growing startups showcase breakthroughs in AI, robotics, brain-computer interfaces, advanced materials, biotech, and new energy. The fair's strength is its matchmaking function: venture capitalists seek deep-tech opportunities, corporate teams look for licensing partners, and overseas entrepreneurs explore manufacturing partnerships in Shenzhen's hardware ecosystem. Dozens of forums, project roadshows, and award ceremonies create a high-density networking environment where technology meets capital and industry.
