China International Import Expo（CIIE）2026

A new record in scale. This edition covers about 1.55 million square meters across 13 sectors and 54 product zones, with some 32,000 exhibitors — around 2,800 brand-name companies and over 11,000 “little giant” and “single-product champion” enterprises. 64% apply industrial internet and AI technologies, while new and green products account for 23.2% and 26% of exhibits respectively, both historic highs.

Digital and intelligent empowerment leads the way. The Fair debuts 22 smart application scenarios and 16 AI-powered applications, becoming China’s first exhibition to offer hall-wide booth-level navigation and AR-based booth displays — putting more than 75,000 booths “at your fingertips”. Combined with online scheduling, 30-second on-arrival registration, instant digital business-card exchange and AI-generated meeting summaries, it is building “a Canton Fair that never ends”. All three phases shine: Phase I “Advanced Manufacturing” features a 4,200-sqm service robot zone debuting the world’s most powerful humanoid robot and the first “touch + vision” dual-modal dexterous hand; Phase II “Quality Home Living” showcases fashion accessories reshaped by lab-grown diamonds and intangible heritage craftsmanship; Phase III “Better Life” presents intelligent diagnostic equipment and medical robots.

Trade promotion services are upgraded in tandem. The trade services zone now covers all 10 categories of producer services, with 36.5% of exhibitors pursuing the “product + service” transition and over 210,000 overseas buyers pre-registered. Naqi Exhibition supported the full service assurance, helping exhibitors efficiently connect with global buyers and seize order opportunities.
