China International Equipment Manufacturing Exposition (CIEME) 2026 will take place from September 1 to 4, 2026, at the Shenyang International Exhibition Center in Shenyang, China. The 24th edition will be held under the theme “Intelligent New Equipment, New Quality Productive Forces,” focusing on technologies and industrial solutions supporting the development of advanced equipment manufacturing. CIEME is a national-level economic and trade exhibition dedicated to China’s equipment manufacturing sector and provides a large-scale platform for manufacturers, technology suppliers, buyers and industrial decision-makers to explore machinery, production systems and emerging manufacturing technologies.
The exhibition serves professionals involved in industrial machinery, equipment manufacturing, automation, engineering, components and production technologies. Its audience includes manufacturers, distributors, procurement teams, engineers, technical specialists, industrial investors and representatives of domestic and international enterprises. Over its development, CIEME has accumulated approximately 1.98 million square metres of exhibition space and participation from more than 18,000 exhibitors, including over 4,500 overseas and foreign-invested enterprises, demonstrating the event’s role in connecting China’s manufacturing base with international suppliers and markets.
Beyond the exhibition floor, CIEME has traditionally combined product sourcing with forums, seminars, purchasing meetings, technical exchanges, new-product presentations and economic and trade activities. These formats connect commercial procurement with discussions around manufacturing innovation and industrial development. The 2026 theme places particular attention on intelligent equipment and next-generation productive capacity, reflecting the increasing role of automation, digitalisation and advanced machinery in China’s manufacturing transformation.
