China's International Supply Chain Expo Launches AI Zone with 100-Day Countdown and Over 500 Exhibitors

China's International Supply Chain Expo 2026

The fourth installment of the China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) is now officially on a 100-day countdown. With a compelling theme of "Connecting the World for a Shared Future," this event has rapidly evolved into a significant platform for promoting international cooperation across various supply and industrial chains.

Over the last three editions, the CISCE has extended its influence and model well beyond China, contributing to the establishment of global standards in the supply chain sector. Notably, its innovative approach has been recognized in the international ISO 25639-1 standard, which focuses on exhibitions and events, thereby underscoring the CISCE's commitment to fostering connections between businesses and potential partners worldwide.

This year's event marks a notable leap forward with the introduction of the AI Zone — the first of its kind in the expo’s history. This new section will provide an overview of the AI ecosystem, encapsulating aspects like data analytics, computational power, and practical applications. Attendees can expect to see innovations across six critical sectors of the supply chain, including advanced manufacturing, clean energy, smart vehicles, digital technology, healthy living, and green agriculture.

In this AI Zone, visitors will meet a range of emerging players and established names in fields such as AI-driven robotics, the drone and low-altitude aviation sector, and biofabrication. These sectors are at the forefront of modern industry innovation and will provide insights into the latest advancements in supply chain modernization.

Enhancing its focus on collaboration, this year’s CISCE will also spotlight "invited provinces" in addition to honored guest countries. This fresh concept welcomes provinces, states, and regions from various nations with unique industrial advantages to showcase their offerings and engage in targeted business meetings with Chinese counterparts.

The international business community is buzzing with anticipation for the event. In the previous edition, non-Chinese exhibitors represented about 35% of all participants. The impressive turnout included over 40 Fortune Global 500 executives and 172 foreign delegations, highlighting the immense interest from international companies eager to explore supply chain opportunities in the Chinese market.

Preparations are steadily advancing, with 19 international promotional tours already completed to showcase the event globally. The organizers are keen on increasing the number of international exhibitors and visitor delegations, and to date, more than 500 companies from China and abroad have signed up to participate. Recruitment for exhibitors is nearing an end as the excitement builds.

This expo promises to be a pivotal gathering for the global supply chain community, poised to set the stage for future partnerships and collaborative innovations in the sector.
