Qingdao International Logistics and Supply Chain ExpoCILF

The Qingdao International Logistics and Supply Chain Expo (CILF) will focus on cutting-edge topics such as international logistics cooperation, innovative port development, and multimodal transport. Firmly rooted in the vast manufacturing and consumer markets of Northern China, it will serve as a natural bridgehead, extending its reach to Japan, South Korea, and the member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

China’s logistics and supply chain sector is undergoing profound transformation—evolving from supporting services for the “world’s factory” to becoming a strategic backbone underpinning the dual-circulation development paradigm. Each step has been marked by decisive progress. In response to the demands of our times, this sector is embracing a more ambitious and precisely calibrated vision: Qingdao and Shenzhen, in harmonious synergy, echo one another across north and south, with scale and momentum injecting fresh possibilities into the industry.

Drawing on the exhibition expertise, robust brand appeal, resource integration capabilities, and international influence cultivated through the China Logistics Expo, CILF is committed to establishing, in Qingdao—the pivotal gateway of Northern China—a premier platform that connects global insights and drives industrial upgrading.

Eight core exhibition zones have been meticulously designed, covering modern logistics and freight forwarding; integrated logistics and supply chain services; port and shipping; air cargo; road and rail transportation; bulk, breakbulk, and specialized logistics, including container services; cross-border e‑commerce; and comprehensive cross-border supply chain solutions (such as overseas warehousing, customs clearance, and payment). These zones offer a one-stop showcase of leading-edge solutions.

By leveraging a global network, four major international platforms, and 18 overseas offices, CILF places the Shenzhen Expo (the parent event) at its center, while coordinating with the Qingdao Expo (a key node) to seamlessly integrate domestic value chains. This creates a dual‑engine “overseas + domestic” model, helping enterprises accurately position themselves within the global value chain.

As an important hub along the Belt and Road Initiative, Qingdao brings together unparalleled strengths in ports, shipping, and cross-border trade. For companies seeking to expand into or deepen their presence in the Northern Chinese market, the Qingdao International Logistics and Supply Chain Expo (CILF) offers profound opportunities that could shape the future landscape.
