Founded in 1999, the China International Industry Fair (CIIF) is the longest-running national-level industrial exhibition in China. Held annually in Shanghai, the fair covers the entire smart and green manufacturing value chain under the banner of "New Quality Driven, High-End Leading, Digital Intelligence Empowering." The 2026 edition runs from October 12 to 16 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), Asia's premier exhibition complex. Combining trade, awards, and industry forums, CIIF serves as China's most influential gateway for showcasing industrial innovation. The 2024 edition hosted 2,800+ exhibitors across 300,000+ square meters of exhibition space and drew over 205,000 professional visitors from around the world.

Over the five days, the NECC's halls fill with engineers, procurement managers, and C-suite decision-makers from across the globe, all eager to discover the latest production technologies. Collaborative robots work alongside skilled operators, AI-powered CNC machines run live demonstrations, and autonomous mobile vehicles navigate the aisles -- giving visitors an unfiltered look at the technologies reshaping modern factories. Beyond the exhibition floor, the CIIF conference program features industry forums, CEO roundtables, and the prestigious CIIF Award ceremony, creating extensive opportunities for networking and deal-making.
