Drawing 162 countries, regions, and international organizations, the expo spans a record-breaking total exhibition area exceeding 440,000 square meters for the first time. The number of participating enterprises also marks a record high, with 4,142 overseas exhibitors including over 300 Fortune Global 500 firms and industry-leading enterprises. More than 90 overseas exhibition groups will also feature at this year’s event, increasing their total floor space by nearly 8 percent year-on-year.

Over 480 representative innovative achievements will make their debut at the expo, ranging from modular endoscopic surgical robots, 360-degree sound-sensing cochlear implants, and water-based silicone pressure-sensitive adhesives to water treatment systems with simultaneous softening and mineralization functions. The number of global premieres, Asian debuts, and China-first launches has reached an all-time high, underscoring China’s strong appeal as a driving engine for global innovation.

Renowned global brands appear across all exhibition zones. For the first time, the expo has launched a “Global National Brands Showcase”, gathering time-honored, iconic brands from around the world. By bringing together premium global products, the CIIE turns China’s vast market into a shared opportunity for businesses across the globe.
