Exhibition Introduction
Three Key Benefits of Exhibiting at the Chengdu Western Optics Fair (Chengdu Optics Fair)
- The Only Annual Full-Chain Optoelectronics Event in Central and Western China: As the longest-running professional expo in central and western China—and the only one covering the entire optoelectronics value chain—this event has, over 23 editions, established itself as a benchmark platform rooted in the Chengdu–Chongqing region and extending nationwide. The 24th edition in 2026 is expected to span 40,000 square meters, attracting 800 exhibitors and 35,000 professional visitors.
- Precise Access to the Trillion-Yuan Chengdu–Chongqing Market: The Chengdu Optics Fair directly serves the rapidly growing Chengdu–Chongqing Twin-City Economic Circle, a national strategic initiative. Sichuan’s optoelectronics information industry has already reached a trillion-yuan scale, with core application sectors—including aerospace, defense electronics, and new energy vehicles—concentrated within the region. Exhibiting provides the most direct channel to connect with key western customers, research institutes, and government projects, enabling rapid expansion into untapped western markets.
- Comprehensive Coverage of 18 Major Themes Across the Entire Value Chain: Exhibits encompass precision optics, lasers, intelligent manufacturing, infrared technology, optical communications, intelligent sensing, semiconductor chips, and other segments of the full value chain, offering a one-stop showcase from optical materials and core components to system integration. Special emphasis is placed on cutting-edge technologies aligned with western industrial characteristics, such as laser precision machining, optical sensing, and infrared thermal imaging, ensuring alignment with real-world application needs in aerospace, defense electronics, and related fields.
- Collaboration Between Research Institutes and Industry Leaders: Top-tier research institutions—including the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Optics, the Institute of Optical Machinery, Huawei’s Technology Center, Tianfu Xinglong Lake Laboratory, and Peking University’s Yangtze River Delta Institute of Optoelectronics—join hundreds of leading companies such as Sunny Optical, Han’s Laser, Gaode Infrared, FiberHome Technologies, and Raycus Laser. Exhibiting means becoming part of the western optoelectronics ecosystem and forging deep connections with local industry leaders and universities.
- More Than Ten High-Profile Forums Providing Authoritative Insights: Concurrently held are the China Western Optoelectronics Industry Innovation and Development Forum, the Optical Communications Innovation Forum, the Laser Applications Forum, the Infrared Applications Forum, and over ten other high‑caliber events. These forums delve into disruptive innovations such as photonic AI chips, quantum communication, automotive LiDAR, and AR/VR optical displays. With no registration fees, they bring together industry experts, academics, and corporate executives, promoting cross‑sectoral integration among industry, academia, research, and end users.
- A Strategic Window for Policy and Resource Engagement: Backed by the joint sponsorship of the Chengdu Municipal People’s Government and the Southwest Optoelectronics Technology Innovation Alliance, the expo facilitates close alignment with local industrial policies and talent resources. Concurrently organized are meetings on the industrial chain leader system and industry‑academia‑research matchmaking sessions, providing businesses with an efficient platform to strategically position themselves in the west and secure policy support.
