China International Industry Fair (CIIF) 2026

China International Industry Fair (CIIF) is going to be held on October 12-16, 2026 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). CIIF will comprise nine theme shows under one roof and occupy 280,000 sq.m as its display area. CIIF is the longest-running national-level industrial event in China. Since its launch in 1999, CIIF has been staged in autumn annually in Shanghai for more than 20 sessions successfully.

As a communication bridge for showcasing and networking events in the advanced manufacturing sector, CIIF combines the four major functions of exhibition, trade, awards, and forums, through implementing professionalization, market-orientation, internationalization, and branding as its strategies for more than two decades. Aligning with national strategies and fostering real economy, CIIF has grown into an important window and spot open to the world for international trade, communication and cooperation on industrial scope. Just as its counterpart Hannover Messe in Germany, CIIF has achieved its objective to be recognized internationally as one of China’s most influential industrial brand exhibitions and a prestigious platform to promote the exchange, interaction, and integration of China’s industry as well as its high-quality achievements with the world.
