Chongqing Lijia International Smart Equipment Exhibition

Chongqing Lijia International Smart Equipment Exhibition (CWMTE) has, since its inception in 2000, presented a comprehensive array of products and solutions for the machining industry from an international perspective, tailored to meet the unique needs of the central and western markets. With record-breaking figures in exhibition scale, exhibitor numbers, and visitor attendance, it has become a must‑attend event for buyers and end users alike.

As the 15th Five-Year Plan gets underway, China’s manufacturing sector is accelerating its transition toward high-end, intelligent, and green production. Yet at the frontline, many enterprises remain constrained by a persistent challenge: they are focused on growth but struggle to turn that growth into profitability. Difficult processes, costly trial-and-error, and the scarcity of domain‑expertise have become invisible barriers—“ceiling effects”—for numerous manufacturers.

Against this backdrop, China’s first platform dedicated to manufacturing process‑knowledge services—“Jiayouhui”—has officially launched. Simultaneously, the Chongqing Lijia Smart Equipment Exhibition, a key indicator of industrial trends in western China, has announced a major strategic upgrade: adopting a dual‑pillar model that combines physical trade shows with knowledge‑based services.

The Chongqing Lijia International Smart Equipment Exhibition (CWMTE) will center on the needs of leading enterprises in the supply chain, establishing “innovation theme islands” that shift the focus from equipment sales to solution‑oriented offerings. Through initiatives such as the “Innovation Process Festival,” technical seminars, and factory visits, the show will evolve into a genuine forum for technological exchange. Additionally, new sections dedicated to industrial informatization and embodied intelligence will showcase cutting-edge applications, including collaborative robots and humanoid robots.

As a platform for thought‑provoking dialogue and knowledge sharing within the equipment‑manufacturing community, past speakers at CWMTE have included industry luminaries from institutions such as the China Automotive Engineering Research Institute, the China Aerospace Corporation, Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, Seres, Changan Automobile, Xiebolin, Huazhong CNC, Tencent Cloud, and others.

With its growing stature and influence, the Chongqing Lijia International Smart Equipment Exhibition (CWMTE) has emerged as one of China’s four major regional machinery‑equipment exhibitions. It serves not only as the premier venue for showcasing new technologies, equipment, and processes but also as a vital channel for companies seeking collaboration and joint development.

The Exhibition Value of the Chongqing Lijia International Smart Equipment Exhibition (CWMTE)

• China’s largest and longest-running international smart equipment event in Western China: Since its inception in 2000, the CWMTE Lijia International Smart Equipment Exhibition has been successfully held for 25 consecutive editions. Certified by the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI), it is a globally recognized trade show with high professional credibility and influence. Rooted in the fertile soil of Western China, based in Chongqing and extending across Sichuan and Guizhou, the exhibition is widely regarded within the industry as a leading indicator of the development of the region’s equipment manufacturing sector and a central business platform for key industries such as complete vehicles and auto parts, aerospace, and high-end equipment.
• A one-stop showcase covering the entire industrial value chain: The exhibition encompasses all stages of the industrial value chain, including industrial automation and robotics, metal-cutting machine tools, five-axis machining centers, sheet-metal laser processing, cutting tools, measuring instruments, quality control and inspection, casting and die-casting, molds, and rubber‑plastic packaging. From intelligent flexible production lines to precision gear‑manufacturing technologies, and from industrial robots to integrated die‑casting solutions for new-energy vehicles, exhibitors can achieve comprehensive connections—spanning technology demonstrations, brand exposure, and commercial negotiations—all under one roof.
• Precise matchmaking with core buyers and end‑use industries in Western China: The exhibition attracts decision‑makers and process engineers from sectors such as complete vehicles and auto parts, aerospace, high‑end equipment, electronic information manufacturing, rail transit, medical devices, and mold making. In 2025, the event will bring together 1,128 domestic and international enterprises, showcasing nearly 90,000 square meters of exhibition space and welcoming tens of thousands of professional visitors. Exhibitors will have direct access to Tier‑1 suppliers for mainstream automakers like Changan Automobile, Seres, and Tesla, as well as to core customer groups in high‑end manufacturing fields such as aerospace and defense.
• Unique value for Chinese enterprises: a strategic engine for penetrating the Western market: Chongqing is currently building a “33618” modern manufacturing cluster system, with smart equipment and intelligent manufacturing serving as one of three pillar clusters each valued at over RMB 500 billion. The Lijia Exhibition provides Chinese equipment manufacturers with a pivotal platform for entering the Western market, tapping into the industrial resources of Sichuan and Chongqing, and seizing opportunities in new‑energy vehicle and aerospace manufacturing. Concurrently, the “Jiaji Hui Project Matching Conference” focuses on three key areas—customized smart integration, equipment upgrades, and flexible manufacturing transformation—offering enterprises precise supply‑demand matching services.
• A vanguard for technological innovation and industry trends: At the exhibition, five‑axis machining centers, industrial robots, integrated die‑casting technologies for new‑energy vehicles, efficient processing solutions for aerospace components, and AI‑driven intelligent manufacturing systems are among the most sought‑after innovations. Chongqing Machine Tool Group’s precision gear‑manufacturing technology has already supported the new‑energy vehicle industry, while Haomai Machine Tools showcased a specialized five‑axis machining center for aerospace applications, delivering high‑precision processing solutions for critical national projects. These cutting‑edge technologies epitomize the accelerating trend toward “intelligent, digital, and green” manufacturing.
• In-depth connections through high‑level forums and industry resources: Alongside the main exhibition, more than 80 specialized conferences will be held, including the FIM Future Intelligent Manufacturing Conference, the New‑Energy Vehicle Manufacturing Development Conference, the Industrial Mother‑Machine Innovation Breakthrough Conference, the Aerospace Components Efficient Processing Technology Exchange, and the Sichuan–Chongqing Sheet‑Metal Industry Chain Innovation Forum. Renowned academicians, industry experts, and corporate leaders will engage in in‑depth discussions on pressing industry challenges and emerging opportunities, enabling participating companies to promptly access critical insights into policy developments, technological trends, and market prospects.
• Chongqing’s locational and industrial advantages: As an important industrial base and a major manufacturing hub in Western China, Chongqing’s equipment manufacturing output exceeded RMB 400 billion by the end of 2024. Held at the Chongqing International Expo Center, the exhibition leverages Chongqing’s strategic position as a core city within the “33618” modern manufacturing cluster system, as well as the policy dividends brought by the construction of the Chengdu–Chongqing Twin‑City Economic Circle, providing exhibitors with a strategic platform for connecting to both Western China and the broader national market.
