As futuristic products such as AI glasses, humanoid robots, and eVTOL passenger aircraft continue to emerge, the demand for advanced manufacturing is at an all-time high. The government's recent work report, which emphasized the need to promote new industrialization and strengthen the advanced manufacturing sector, has prompted companies to enhance upgrade processes, address supply-demand imbalances, and achieve eco-friendly synergy.

With the theme of “Precision Craftsmanship and Ultimate Innovation,” this year's ITES will highlight the latest trends in high-end equipment, robotics, automation solutions, and precision manufacturing, providing factories with the insights needed to adopt cutting-edge technologies and innovative applications.

The event will feature seven major themed exhibitions across eight exhibition halls and cover 160,000 sqm of space, facilitating interactions and connections between advanced manufacturing brands from around the globe.

As one of China’s largest, highest-quality machine tool exhibitions, ITES will highlight efficient processing solutions for high-end equipment, including metal cutting and forming machine tools. Industry leaders will present state-of-the-art processing solutions.

A significant feature of the exhibition will be the Robotics and Automation Equipment section where over 600 leading companies will showcase industrial robots and automation solutions. This exhibition will also cover the entire humanoid robotics ecosystem to promote mass production.

The Industrial Parts exhibition, China's premier platform for precision manufacturing, will feature nearly 200 high-quality precision parts processing companies, including specialized enterprises in the aerospace, medical, and semiconductor fields.

This year, ITES will introduce more than 100 new innovations making their first appearance in China or southern China.

The exhibition is designed to meet both general and customized processing demands of industries such as semiconductors, new energy vehicles, and AI consumer electronics.

More than 60 thematic forums will bring together industry leaders, authoritative organizations, and top guests to discuss topics and trends in fields including electronic intelligence manufacturing, precision manufacturing, and new energy vehicles.

In addition to forums, four on-site procurement matchmaking meetings will address specific industry needs and facilitate cost reductions and efficiency improvements for participating companies.

The event is expected to attract over 1,000 manufacturing enterprises and 200 industry associations across sectors like electronics, medical devices, and precision manufacturing, with attendance anticipated to exceed 100,000 professional visitors.
