Shanghai International Data Center Industry Exhibition

The Exhibition Value of the Shanghai International Data Center Expo

• The Shanghai International Data Center Expo (IDC EXPO) is one of China’s largest and most specialized industry events in the data center sector. Having been successfully held for eleven editions, it is widely recognized within the industry as a key indicator of the development trajectory of China’s data center industry. Organized by the China Data Center Committee (CDCC), the expo takes place concurrently with the “China Data Center Green Energy Conference” and the “China Intelligent Computing Center Full-Stack Technology Conference,” making it a comprehensive exhibition that spans the entire data center value chain.
• The core value of participation lies in its platform‑wide coverage of the entire industry chain and its strategic advantage in precisely connecting exhibitors with the core resources of the intelligent computing ecosystem. The expo focuses on all segments of the value chain, including computing hardware, green power supply and distribution, intelligent cooling, operations and maintenance management, and computing‑electricity coordination. It showcases a full range of products—from CPU, GPU, and AI accelerator chips, servers, and storage devices to power supply and distribution systems, cooling systems, cabinet cabling, DCIM software, liquid‑cooling technologies, and energy‑storage solutions. Its professional audience comprises technology decision‑makers and procurement leaders from telecom operators, cloud service providers, internet companies, data center operators, as well as sectors such as finance, government, and energy, providing exhibiting companies with a strategic gateway to engage directly with key purchasing decision‑makers.
• The expo has established an international platform that links global intelligent computing resources, bringing together leading players in the industry. Through deep collaboration with the “China Data Center Green Energy Conference,” the event attracts renowned domestic and international enterprises, industry experts, research institutions, and representatives of market‑leading companies. Year after year, numerous Fortune Global 500 firms, publicly listed companies, and industry “hidden champions” participate, creating an exhibition landscape characterized by technological leadership, industry‑driven momentum, and vibrant innovation.
• Keeping pace with three major industry trends—intelligent computing‑driven growth, green and low‑carbon development, and computing‑electricity synergy—the expo has forged a cutting‑edge hub for deep integration among industry, academia, research, and application. Focusing on前沿 issues such as the construction of intelligent computing centers powered by large AI models, energy‑saving technologies for green data centers, liquid‑cooling solutions, and integrated energy‑storage applications, the expo hosts dozens of specialized forums, technical seminars, and new‑product launch events. Renowned experts are invited to share the latest technological advances and industry insights, while authoritative industry reports, such as the “China Data Center Development Blue Book,” are released, providing exhibiting companies with end‑to‑end support—from trend analysis to commercial implementation.
• For Chinese enterprises, this expo serves as a strategic gateway for expanding both domestic and international markets, connecting with global resources, and showcasing their innovative capabilities. As Shanghai stands as a national hub for computing resources, the expo leverages the Yangtze River Delta’s geographic advantages to reach and influence the core regions of China’s intelligent computing industry. Exhibiting companies can use this platform to access the nation’s critical procurement networks for building computing infrastructure, seizing early opportunities in the green, intelligent, and high‑performance transformation of the data center sector.
