November 14, 2026. The 28th China Hi-Tech Fair (CHTF) will take place November 26 to 28 at the Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center in Bao'an district. As of October 28, more than 50,000 international visitors from 118 countries and regions had registered, the organizer said in a GlobeNewswire release on November 10. The Shenzhen municipal government hosts the event and Zhenwei Exhibition Group organizes it.
Zones and new products
A note from the Zhuhai Science, Technology and Innovation Bureau, published by 21st Century Business Herald on November 13, says the fair will have more than 20 specialized zones, among them:
- Artificial intelligence and robots.
- Semiconductors and integrated circuits.
- Low-altitude economy and aerospace.
- Financial and investment services.
More than 10,000 new technologies and products will be shown, with more than 200 side events. Of the registered international visitors, 49.96 % come from Asia and 29.52 % from Europe, and representatives of more than 120 medical institutions have signed up.
In June, Jiemian reported that the plan called for about 400,000 square meters, more than 5,000 exhibiting brands and more than 450,000 professional visitors, and that booth space in the robot zone was close to sold out. Those are pre-fair planning figures; final numbers will come at the close.
A matchmaking conference for buyers
The organizer announced a Global Procurement Matchmaking Conference as the main event for buyers. It lists buyers in consumer electronics, energy and power, and construction and engineering, and says some international buyers have already sent requirements with defined budgets. The fair follows the APEC summit in Shenzhen on November 17 to 19.
Our take
Shenzhen is home to makers of electronics, security cameras, drones, batteries and service robots. A fair this size lets a Latin American buyer compare several suppliers in a few days.
- Plan a business trip to China with factory visits around the fair dates.
- If you can't travel, let our sourcing team collect catalogs, prices and samples from exhibitors.
- Book a product inspection before paying the balance.
