Shenzhen International Smart Production Solutions Exhibition

The Value of Participating in the Guangzhou International Exhibition on Intelligent Manufacturing

• The Guangzhou International Exhibition on Intelligent Manufacturing Technologies and Equipment stands as the largest and most influential professional gathering for intelligent manufacturing and automation solutions in South China. As a sister event to the SPS Smart Production Solutions Exhibition held in Nuremberg, Germany, it has been successfully organized since 2010, earning widespread recognition within the industry as a leading indicator of trends in South China’s intelligent manufacturing sector and a strategic gateway for global automation technologies entering the Chinese market. Co‑hosted by authoritative institutions such as Guangzhou Guangya Frankfurt Exhibition Co., Ltd. and China Foreign Trade Guangzhou Exhibition Co., Ltd., the 2026 edition was held concurrently with the Guangzhou Industrial Technology Expo and the Asia International Mould & Die Exhibition, collectively forming a comprehensive platform covering the entire manufacturing value chain—from core components to system integration.
• The core value of participation lies in its unique ability to seamlessly link the platform attributes of South China—a global manufacturing powerhouse—with a highly concentrated pool of professional buyers. In 2026, the exhibition attracted over 420 exhibitors from around the world, occupying a total exhibition space of 28,500 square meters, and drawing more than 40,000 professional visitors, including international attendees from 91 countries and regions—an increase of 20% compared to the previous edition. Exhibitors included industry leaders such as Autonics, Baumer, Beid, Festo, Cognex, Lenze, Turck, and Guangzhou CNC, while the professional audience comprised technical procurement teams from leading manufacturers like Xinwangda, Foxconn, Midea, BYD, and Jinsha River Flour Mill.
• The exhibition establishes a one‑stop commercial platform covering the entire intelligent manufacturing value chain. Exhibits span all categories, including sensing technologies, drive systems and motion control, control technologies, industrial software and IT, connectivity solutions, industrial robots, smart equipment and system integration, industrial communications, and human‑machine interfaces. Specialized zones include the “Smart Creation Future Zone,” which brings together international brands like Lenze, Baumer, Festo, Turck, and Cognex; the “Start-up Zone,” providing resource‑matching channels for emerging companies such as Jucun Xincheng; and the “International Pavilion,” showcasing advanced overseas technologies and products.
• The exhibition keeps pace with three major industry trends—“industrial AI, embodied intelligence, and digital transformation”—and builds a robust technological hub fostering deep integration among academia, industry, and research. In 2026, the exhibition hosted 13 high‑quality concurrent forums, delivering nearly 80 thematic presentations centered on pressing issues such as “industrial AI,” “digital twins,” “industrial cybersecurity,” and “embodied intelligence.” The flagship “Manufacturing Digitalization Transformation Summit” convened Professor Tao Fei from Beihang University, Associate Dean Wang Yu from the Beijing Institute of Scientific Intelligence, along with representatives from Huawei, Qi An Xin Technology, Foxconn, and other enterprises, to analyze trends in manufacturing digitalization. The China Association for Mechatronic Technology Applications, in partnership with the exhibition, also organized the “2026 Greater Bay Area Industrial Embodied Intelligence Conference,” focusing on cutting‑edge topics such as humanoid robot applications and data‑driven factories powered by embodied intelligence. Concurrently, additional specialized events were held, including an AI‑driven smart wearables industry trend forum, an automotive manufacturing summit, a digital‑driven liquid food production forum, and a themed forum on women’s contributions to the industrial sector.
• For Chinese enterprises, this exhibition serves as a strategic gateway to expand into the South China market, connect with global resources, and showcase innovative capabilities. By leveraging the manufacturing hub advantages of the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area and integrating the extensive global brand network of SPS, the exhibition provides exhibitors with an internationally oriented platform. In 2026, renowned brands from Germany, South Korea, the United States, and other countries participated, with exhibitors such as Turck and Jialing reporting that they welcomed overseas clients from Germany, Indonesia, and other nations, demonstrating exceptionally high levels of professional engagement. Through this platform, participating companies can tap into South China’s core procurement networks, seizing early opportunities in the intelligent, green, and globally oriented transformation of the intelligent manufacturing industry.
