As the global economic and industrial landscape undergoes profound restructuring and the Fourth Industrial Revolution unfolds, new technologies, business models, and economic paradigms are rapidly emerging. Although the global machine tool and tooling industry continues to lead in terms of output value, China faces mounting challenges, including gaps in critical foundational technologies, shortages of core components and materials, and outdated basic manufacturing processes. Consequently, accelerating the transformation and upgrading of both industrial and product structures has become imperative. This new industrial era calls for “Made in China 2025” to further strengthen the industrial base, equip itself with cutting‑edge capabilities, and soar toward intelligent manufacturing.

The Ningbo International Machine Tool & Mold Exhibition (JM) is part of the Jinuo Machine Tool Exhibition series, a renowned Chinese trade show brand. Within the machine tool industry, the Jinuo series has established a strong brand presence, drawing professional attendees from both domestic and international markets each year.
