Since 1999, the CIIF has played a pivotal role in showcasing the full industrial supply chain, from basic materials and key components to advanced equipment and integrated solutions. It also serves as a hub for SME transformation and consistently brings together top experts to drive industrial and scientific innovation.

“The CIIF has witnessed and been promoting the rise of China’s industrial development as well as the profound exchanges and integration within the global industrial chain, we’re committed to continuously advancing industrial innovation and open international cooperation,” said Yao Chunyu, Deputy General Manager of DEXPO Shanghai Industry & Commerce Exhibition Co., Ltd.

The 2025 fair will feature nine themed shows, a series of innovation zones, a "1+10+N" conference lineup, a "1+3+Z" award system, creating an international event that integrates technology showcases, business matchmaking, and industry exchange.

The Metalworking and CNC Machine Tool Show (MWCS) is a core international metalworking technology trade show under the CIIF umbrella celebrating the innovation in metal processing, focusing on metal-cutting, sheet metal working, metal forming & fabricating, inspecting & measuring, metal 3D printing, advanced functional parts, metallic materials, and more, highlighting exciting developments that can transform global manufacturing practices. Notable exhibitors to attend the 2025 fair include Bodor and Penta Laser.

The Industrial Automation Show (IAS), themed "Automation + Industrial AI," will focus on smart manufacturing solutions, automation systems, and industry-specific integration. In 2025, IAS will collaborate with leading companies such as Siemens, Bosch Rexroth, Schneider Electric, Mitsubishi Electric, Omron, Panasonic, and others to unveil new smart manufacturing scenarios.

The Robotics Show (RS) will gather global robotics pioneers such as ABB, FANUC, YASKAWA, and KUKA, who will showcase cutting-edge technologies and products. Over 350 exhibitors are expected to display more than 100 new product launches and thousands of industrial devices. This year’s edition will feature a dedicated “Humanoid Robot Zone,” offering a comprehensive display of the full humanoid ecosystem—from core components to intelligent integration.

In addition, CIIF 2025 will also highlight emerging industries including new material, future transportation, AI and more:

·         Energy Show (ES) that focuses on integrated Wind-Solar-Nuclear-Hydrogen-Storage systems, with notable exhibitors such as Shanghai Electric, CRRC, CNNP, CGN, ZPMC, and Delixi Electric.

·         Information & Communication Technology Show (ICTS) to feature latest achievements in sectors including integrated circuits, industrial AI & software, and industrial services.

·         Future Transportation Industry Show (FTIS) brings attention to innovative breakthroughs in intelligent driving, vehicle architecture upgrades, core components, new energy application scenarios, and low-altitude economy.

·         Green Low-Carbon Show (GLCS) centering on industrial energy-saving in five areas of smart technologies, high-efficiency energy-saving equipment, low-carbon energy storage and applications, green manufacturing ecosystem and circular economy.

·         New Material Industry Show (NMIS) to spotlight high-performance materials, green/inorganic materials, cutting-edge/future materials, bio-manufacturing, and new materials for commercial aerospace and the low-altitude economy, among other innovations.

CIIF not only drives industrial innovation and international cooperation, but also advances market-oriented transformation.
