As global science and technology develop rapidly and industries change, China’s surging new productivity is reshaping the future economic landscape and promoting the development of manufacturing towards high quality, intelligent and sustainable development. In order to deepen the integration of digital technology and manufacturing, strengthen the support of scientific and technological innovation, rely on disruptive and cutting-edge technologies, give birth to emerging industries and momentum, accelerate the promotion of new industrialization, and promote global trade growth, the “Six Exhibitions and Innovation Event” will be held at the Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center (Bao’an) from November 6 to 8, 2024, linking the world’s key advanced manufacturing industries and jointly exploring the top of innovation.
This exhibition is closely aligned with the country’s “new industrialization” strategic deployment, deeply integrated with the new business concepts of high-end, green and intelligent, and accurately targets cutting-edge fields such as automobiles, electronics, advanced display technologies and new materials. It aims to create an international platform that integrates the display of technological innovation achievements and cross-industry chain cooperation and exchanges, helping key application industries to create greener, smarter and more market-competitive products and solutions, and jointly promote industrial transformation and upgrading and sustainable development.
Six flagship exhibitions: Reshaping advanced manufacturing and writing a new chapter in global trade
Driven by the global economic integration and the wave of science and technology, the advanced manufacturing industry is undergoing a historic and profound transformation and leapfrog development. As an important growth pole for China’s economic development, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is leading a new wave of industrial upgrading by relying on its unique geographical location, deep integration of regional coordinated development, and rapid implementation of the innovation-driven strategy. As the core engine of the Greater Bay Area, Shenzhen’s GDP in the first half of 2024 reached 1,730.22 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.9%. The performance of the industrial sector was particularly dazzling, with the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size achieving a year-on-year growth of 12.0%.
Shenzhen takes scientific and technological innovation as the core driving force, leads the optimization and upgrading of the modern industrial system, and strives to build a world-leading advanced manufacturing center. Shenzhen’s pillar industries represented by computer, communication and other electronic equipment manufacturing continue to play a leading role and occupy a dominant position in the global industrial chain. Shenzhen is also committed to cultivating and expanding emerging industries, including 5G, intelligent networked vehicles, new energy, new materials, biomanufacturing, commercial aerospace, low-altitude economy and other fields. Emerging industries such as new energy and intelligent networked vehicles have risen strongly in Shenzhen in recent years. Today, Shenzhen has become one of the first-tier cities in the competitiveness of the national intelligent networked vehicle industry, and is rapidly growing into an important highland for the global new energy vehicle industry and a new generation of world-class automobile city.
The six exhibitions and the innovation event are rooted in Shenzhen, a fertile land of innovation, radiating the Greater Bay Area and committed to becoming an important innovation display platform for the global manufacturing industry. The event is a powerful combination of six flagship exhibitions: Automotive World China, AMTS & AHTE South China, NEPCON ASIA, Electronics Sourcing Show, C-TOUCH & DISPLAY SHENZHEN, and FILM & TAPE EXPO, which is highly consistent with Shenzhen’s manufacturing transformation and upgrading strategy.
Taking advantage of internationalization, jointly bringing the exhibition to a new height
The total exhibition area of this event is expected to reach 160,000 square meters, attracting more than 150,000 professional visitors, including about 5,000 international visitors from all over the world and more than 10,000 TAP invited buyers, who will inject international vision and high-quality business opportunities into the event.
As the event progresses in an orderly manner, each exhibition has shown its “killer weapon”. As an important part of the event, IC PACKAGING FAIR 2024 Semiconductor Packaging Technology Exhibition has launched a new power semiconductor packaging and testing process demonstration area. As an industry vane, this special area focuses on three new process routes in the field of SiC modules, and guides the global semiconductor industry towards a new chapter of future energy conversion with its foresight and innovation. By then, more than 60 brands will gather here, bringing their semiconductor packaging and testing equipment and materials, and jointly weaving a full ecological industry chain map from raw material selection, exquisite design, exquisite craftsmanship to cutting-edge equipment.
It is worth mentioning that in order to strengthen the comprehensive influence of the event, promote the deep integration and coordinated development of industries, and continuously enrich the content of the exhibition, it also joined hands with Shanghai Yitong Optoelectronics to present the preview of Photonics World Asian Optoelectronic Technology Exhibition during the event. In addition, the China Electronic Circuit Industry Association will also host the first China Electronic Semiconductor Industry Innovation and Development Conference and International Electronic Circuit (Greater Bay Area) Exhibition (CPCA Show Plus 2024) during the event. The two major events have their own characteristics. The former focuses on laser technology and applications, optical systems and precision optics, precision machinery and motion control, test measurement and sensing technology, and other laser technologies and equipment, highlighting the breakthrough progress in the field of optical systems and precision optics; the latter brings together domestic and foreign electronic circuit industry elites, and sets up special theme exhibition areas, covering the entire industry chain such as PCB and its manufacturing equipment, raw and auxiliary materials, electronic assembly, intelligent manufacturing, smart factories, green and sustainable development.
3500+ brands gather together to inject strong momentum
The six exhibitions and the flagship exhibition are expected to bring together a strong lineup of more than 3,500 exhibitors, including about 500 international brands. This event marks another gathering of the core forces of the industry, which will not only promote the deep collision of innovative thinking and stimulate new vitality in the market, but also create valuable technical exchanges and cooperation opportunities for both exhibitors and visitors, laying a solid foundation for subsequent mutual benefit and win-win results.
