The Value of Exhibiting at the Shanghai International Data Center and Cloud Computing Exhibition (CDCE)

• One of Asia’s Most Influential Annual Events for the Data Center and Computing Power Industries: The Shanghai International Data Center and Cloud Computing Industry Exhibition (CDCE), co-organized by the Zhongguancun Xiezhong Chuangzhi Information Industry Promotion Association, GDCT, and Informa Markets, has been successfully held since its inception in 2017. Linked with the EP International Power & Electrical Engineering Exhibition and the ES Energy Storage/Hydrogen Energy Exhibition, the event aligns closely with the “East Data, West Computing” and “Dual Carbon” strategies. With “Computing-Electricity Synergy” as its core theme, it is widely recognized within the industry as a bellwether for Asian data center and computing power development, as well as a strategic gateway for global enterprises entering the Chinese market.
• A One-Stop Showcase Covering the Entire Industrial Chain: The exhibition encompasses all segments of the data center value chain, including infrastructure (power distribution systems, air conditioning and cooling, structured cabling, fire safety and security), intelligent products and technologies (AI-assisted operations, AI energy efficiency management, BIM, CFD simulation), energy-saving products and smart O&M (DCIM automation software, environmental monitoring, inspection robots), design engineering and system integration (EPC general contractors, IDC design, engineering firms), cloud computing, and ICT equipment systems. In 2025, the CDCE integrates with the EP Power and ES Energy Storage exhibitions, expanding to over 75,000 square meters and hosting 2,070 exhibitors, comprehensively presenting end-to-end capabilities ranging from computing supply and efficient cooling to reliable power provision and energy management. Exhibitors can complete a full spectrum of engagements here, from technology demonstrations and brand exposure to commercial negotiations.
• Precision Matching with Global Core Buyers and Industrial Chain Resources: The 2025 edition attracted nearly 91,657 professional visitors, an increase of over 15% compared to 2024, with a significant rise in high-value attendees such as corporate decision-makers, senior technical experts, and seasoned procurement executives. International influence has grown exponentially, with overseas visitors spanning more than 90 countries and regions, including Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Thailand, Kazakhstan, Egypt, Nigeria, Vietnam, the Philippines, Pakistan, Mongolia, and Russia. Leading enterprises like China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom, Baidu, Alibaba, GDS, and Sinnet attended in organized delegations, allowing exhibitors direct access to some of the world’s most financially robust customer groups.
• Unique Strategic Value for Chinese Enterprises—Seizing the Initiative in Intelligent Computing and Computing-Electricity Synergy: Driven by both the AI technology boom and favorable computing policies, the data center industry faces unprecedented development opportunities. CDCE stays attuned to cutting-edge trends in “computing-electricity synergy,” systematically establishing specialized zones such as the Computing Power Zone, Liquid Cooling Zone, and EPC Design Institute Zone. In 2025, the exhibition marked the first time that global and domestic industry giants—including Amazon, Baidu, Tencent Cloud, Volcano Engine, Alibaba Cloud, Dell, and Intel—gathered at high-profile events. Concurrent forums included topics such as paradigm shifts in computing infrastructure driven by large AI models, frontier discussions on EPC construction for data centers, and green development for intelligent computing centers, featuring over 30 high-quality sessions where nearly a hundred experts shared pioneering insights. Exhibitors can leverage these platforms to gain critical market intelligence, seize early opportunities in computing-energy synergistic development, and stay ahead of industry trends.
• A Vanguard for Technological Innovation and Industry Trends: At the exhibition, intelligent computing center infrastructure, liquid cooling technologies, AI-powered computing, energy storage, and computing-electricity synergy have emerged as hot topics. The 2025 edition prominently launched a core showcase titled “New Ecosystem of Computing-Electricity Synergy,” focusing on cutting-edge solutions that fuse computing infrastructure with green energy. The concurrently held “Low-Carbon Technology and Industrial Development Forum for the Power Sector” invited national think tanks, grid operators, and representatives from intelligent computing centers to jointly discuss integrated planning, coordinated scheduling, and trading mechanisms between computing and electricity. On-site visits to Shanghai’s supercomputing centers provided attendees with invaluable opportunities to engage directly with state-of-the-art computing infrastructure.
• Deep Connections Between High-End Forums and Industry Resources: Over 30 high-quality forums were held alongside the exhibition, covering hot topics such as large AI models, computing networks, supercomputing ecosystem development, liquid cooling technology advancement, EPC general contracting projects, source-grid-load-storage integration, virtual power plants, green factories, and zero-carbon computing parks. The exhibition significantly upgraded its “MVP Precision Supply-Demand Matchmaking” service, conducting in-depth pre-show research to precisely match core buyer needs with exhibitor solutions across more than 50 pairs. In the liquid cooling sector, Green Cloud Map secured multiple prospective clients through targeted matching and initiated POC testing; in the computing segment, Weiyun successfully tapped into new rail transit customer resources via dedicated showcases. Exhibitors can obtain timely access to critical information regarding policy updates, technical standards, and market trends in the data center industry.
• Shanghai’s Geographical and Industrial Advantages: Held at the Shanghai New International Expo Center, located in the heart of the Yangtze River Delta—one of China’s most digitally advanced regions with soaring computing demands—CDCE leverages Shanghai’s strategic position as an international financial and technological innovation hub to provide exhibitors with a strategic platform connecting them to both domestic and global markets.
