Xi’an Advanced Manufacturing & Digital Industry Exhibition – Xi’an National Defense Science and Technology Exhibition

The Xi’an Advanced Manufacturing and Digital Industry Exhibition—Xi’an National Defense Technology Expo (hereinafter referred to as the Xi’an Military Expo) is dedicated to advancing the digital transformation of advanced manufacturing. It seeks to comprehensively and accurately study and implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s inspection tour in Shaanxi, thoroughly analyze and seize the significant opportunities facing Shaanxi’s advanced manufacturing, digital industry, and defense‑related technology sectors, and focus on key industrial chains such as aerospace, advanced manufacturing, high‑end equipment, defense informationization, smart terminals, and new materials.

As an integral part of Shaanxi Province’s advanced manufacturing industrial clusters, the aviation cluster is thriving. Yanta District, led by AVIC Xi’an Aircraft Industry Group Co., Ltd., brings together over a thousand enterprises. More than 30 large and medium‑sized military and civilian aircraft models have been developed here, with over 40 local companies participating in the research and development of aircraft such as the Y‑20, J‑20, Z‑20, H‑6K, C919, and the MA60 series. A number of core technologies that fill domestic gaps have achieved breakthroughs in this region, and China’s first regional jet—the MA60 series—equipped with independent intellectual property rights and entering the international market, has taken off from here. The Xi’an aviation cluster was selected as one of the first batch of national advanced manufacturing clusters; meanwhile, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) industry is experiencing rapid growth, placing Shaanxi among the nation’s leaders in this field. Beyond aviation, other advanced manufacturing sectors—including commercial vehicles (heavy trucks), passenger vehicles (new energy), and solar photovoltaics—are also leveraging leading enterprises such as Shaanxi Automobile Group, BYD Xi’an, and LONGi Green Energy to achieve swift expansion and steady development, thereby contributing to the robust growth of Shaanxi’s advanced manufacturing industrial clusters.

Shaanxi boasts strong capabilities in the national defense science and technology industry, with distinctive comprehensive advantages. Many of its defense‑related research institutes are “unicorns” at the national level, with technical expertise ranking among the best in China. Numerous key defense enterprises integrate research and production, operating multiple technical process research institutes and product development centers, demonstrating robust R&D capacities within their respective fields and positioning themselves as research‑driven enterprises. Shaanxi’s defense‑related industries benefit from superior technological equipment and favorable research conditions, with strong capabilities in technology integration. Per capita value of technological equipment remains relatively high, featuring a wide array of CNC machining tools and cutting‑edge research and production facilities, some of which are unique even within Asia. In the six major sectors of space, aviation, weaponry, nuclear technology, electronics, and shipbuilding—as well as in emerging high‑tech areas such as microelectronics, optomechatronics, new materials, new energy, automatic control, microwave communications, and computer software—Shaanxi’s defense‑related industries demonstrate strong capabilities in both follow‑on research and independent development, undertaking critical tasks including the overall system and subsystem projects for the development and production of advanced national defense weapons and equipment.

The Xi’an Advanced Manufacturing and Digital Industry Exhibition—Xi’an National Defense Technology Expo serves as a vital pillar in building a dual‑circulation development pattern, aiming to continuously foster a thriving industrial ecosystem and unite efforts to advance the digital transformation of manufacturing.

The Exhibition Value of the Xi’an Military Industry Expo

• A highly influential professional platform in the fields of advanced manufacturing and defense technology in Western China. The expo is guided by authoritative bodies such as the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, the Shaanxi Provincial Office of National Defense Science and Technology Industry, and the China Association for Peaceful Utilization of Military‑Industrial Technologies, and co‑organized by the China Mechanical & Electrical Equipment Engineering Association and the Shaanxi Provincial Federation of Industrial Economics. Anchored in Xi’an—a key national base for defense science and technology and a leading hub for advanced manufacturing—the event leverages Shaanxi’s robust industrial foundation and rich scientific‑educational resources in aerospace, ordnance, electronics, and other sectors, making it an annual flagship gathering that drives the commercialization of dual‑use technologies and fosters collaborative innovation across industries in Western China.
• Full‑chain coverage, with a deep focus on the convergence of defense technology and high‑end manufacturing. Centered around three core pillars—advanced manufacturing, digital industry, and defense technology—the expo showcases products spanning high‑end equipment manufacturing, aerospace, defense information systems, new materials, unmanned aerial vehicles, 3D printing and additive manufacturing, semiconductors and integrated circuits, industrial automation and robotics, military‑industrial support systems, and testing and experimental equipment. From foundational materials to critical components, and from standalone machines to system integration, the event provides exhibitors with an end‑to‑end platform for showcasing and connecting—from “laboratory to battlefield, factory to market.”
• A strategic gateway to military‑industrial resources, helping enterprises integrate into the defense industrial ecosystem. Shaanxi boasts a comprehensive military‑industrial landscape, with numerous research institutes and enterprises serving as the nation’s sole or leading players in their respective domains. The expo brings together major military‑industrial groups and their affiliated research institutes across aviation, aerospace, ordnance, shipbuilding, nuclear industries, and electronics, alongside a large cohort of specialized, niche‑focused SMEs engaged in military‑product supply chains. For companies aspiring to enter the defense‑military supply chain, this represents a vital opportunity to engage directly with procurement departments, gain insights into equipment‑acquisition needs, and demonstrate independently developed, controllable technologies.
• An efficient catalyst for technological innovation and成果转化. The expo highlights groundbreaking technological advances and innovative products. From Dazhong Laser’s 100 kW ultra‑high‑power fiber laser cutting system to the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation’s 719th Research Institute’s 3D‑printed pressure‑resistant hull for deep‑sea submersibles, from Huawei Cloud’s industrial digital twin platform to Fibos’ nano‑scale fiber optic sensors, numerous world‑first and domestically first‑of‑its‑kind achievements are unveiled at the event. Concurrent forums—including the Advanced Technology Innovation成果 Exchange, the Dual‑Use Technology Exchange and Matchmaking Session, and the Advanced Intelligent Manufacturing Technology Project Roadshow—comprise more than 20 events, providing a high‑level platform for deepening industry–university–research–application collaboration and accelerating the translation of scientific and technological breakthroughs into practical applications.
• Bringing together high‑quality professional buyers and precisely reaching decision‑makers. The expo’s professional audience comprises representatives from defense industries, aviation, aerospace, ordnance, naval vessels, electronics, nuclear industries, the armed forces, government agencies, and research institutes. The previous edition attracted group delegations from provinces such as Guizhou and Jiangsu, with over 900 domestic and international enterprises and institutions participating. Through meticulous buyer invitations and pre‑event demand alignment, exhibitors can engage in highly effective negotiations with decision‑makers from military‑industrial groups, research institutes, and supporting enterprises who have clearly defined procurement intentions.
