The Shanghai International Smart Energy Exhibition (ENERGY SHOW) is a specialized exhibition focused on ‘Energy Technology and Equipment,’ serving the power, electrical engineering, and new energy technology sectors by providing a platform for procurement, sales, and technical exchange. Covering power generation, substations, transmission and distribution, as well as end-users, the event underscores intelligent manufacturing while highlighting green practices, enhanced efficiency, and cutting-ed
The Value of Participating in the Shanghai International Smart Energy Exhibition (ENERGY SHOW)
- An authoritative showcase for China’s smart energy sector within the industrial landscape: As one of the core specialized exhibitions under the China International Industry Fair (CIIF), the Shanghai International Smart Energy Exhibition is co-organized by prestigious institutions such as the China Power Supply Society and the Shanghai Electric Power Industry Association. Focusing on digital transformation and green, low-carbon development in the energy industry, the exhibition covers four major segments—smart grids, smart energy storage, smart energy, and smart services—and is widely recognized as a benchmark for China’s smart energy industry and a strategic platform for connecting enterprises with industrial energy needs.
- A one-stop platform covering the entire value chain: The exhibition encompasses every link in the value chain, from smart grid and power automation to energy storage technologies and equipment, battery technologies and devices, smart energy solutions, and digital energy platforms. Whether it’s ultra-high voltage transmission and distribution or microgrid applications, lithium batteries or solid-state batteries, integrated solar-storage-charging stations or AI-driven virtual power plant dispatch systems, exhibitors can complete end-to-end connections—from technology demonstrations and brand exposure to business negotiations—within a single venue.
- Precise access to core industrial buyers and decision-makers: Leveraging CIIF’s extensive manufacturing audience, the exhibition draws on the fair’s overall network of over 2,500 exhibitors and 200,000 professional visitors. In 2024, the show attracted more than 400 leading domestic and international energy and power companies, including State Grid, Shanghai Electric, Schneider Electric, Phoenix Contact, TBEA, CRRC, and People’s Electrical Appliance. Exhibitors have direct access to purchasing decision-makers from manufacturing, power systems, and industrial park end-users.
- Unique value for Chinese enterprises—a strategic engine for meeting industrial energy demands: As a core specialized exhibition under CIIF, ENERGY SHOW provides enterprises with a unique channel to connect with manufacturing energy needs. Concurrent events such as the Smart Energy Internet Development Forum and the Power Quality Thematic Salon offer strategic opportunities for exhibitors to gain insights into industry trends and access policy resources.
- A vanguard for technological innovation and industry trends: At the exhibition, smart grid dispatch systems, virtual power plant platforms, long-duration liquid-cooled energy storage, AI-driven energy management, and solid-state batteries have emerged as hot topics. Keeping pace with the dual-carbon goals, the exhibition focuses on digitalization and intelligent transformation in the energy sector, encouraging energy and power companies to seek new opportunities amid the construction of a new development paradigm.
- Shanghai’s locational and industrial advantages: Held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), the exhibition benefits from Shanghai’s strategic position as a core city of the Yangtze River Delta and a major industrial hub in China, as well as CIIF’s century-old brand legacy. This combination provides exhibitors with a strategic platform to engage with the national industrial energy market.
