The most recent edition attracted nearly 100,000 visitors, with total order value exceeding RMB 500 m
The Exhibition Value of the Xiamen Industrial Expo
- The Xiamen International Industrial Expo (XMIE) is the largest industrial exchange event across the Taiwan Strait. Since its inception in 1997, it has successfully held 29 editions, serving as a pilot platform for cross-strait industrial integration and a hub for the commercialization of industrial technologies. It stands as the most influential flagship industrial exhibition in Southeast China. Co-organized by authoritative bodies such as the China Machinery Industry Federation and the Taiwan Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association, the expo leverages Xiamen’s strategic location as a key node along the Belt and Road Initiative, becoming a central platform for industrial technology and economic‑trade cooperation that connects both sides of the Strait, radiates nationwide, and links globally.
- The core value of participation lies in its unparalleled capacity to attract international resources and its distinct advantage in precisely connecting with global buyers. In 2025, the expo further deepened its collaboration with two major international exhibition organizers—Hannover Milano Fairs and Donghao Lansheng Exhibitions—drawing 839 exhibiting companies from more than ten countries and regions, including Germany, the United States, Japan, and Indonesia, and bringing together thousands of renowned domestic and international brands. The event attracted buyers from 33 countries and regions, such as Colombia, Egypt, Russia, Spain, Indonesia, the Philippines, and India, with contracted orders and letters of intent totaling over RMB 700 million.
- The expo has established a one-stop trade platform covering the entire industrial value chain. Adopting a “1+N” integrated model—with the Industrial Expo at its core—the event concurrently hosts three specialized exhibitions: the New Energy Industry Expo, the Intelligent Construction Expo, and the Electronic Information & Digital Economy Expo, comprehensively spanning the full spectrum from basic materials and core components to intelligent equipment and system solutions. Exhibits include CNC machine tools, industrial automation systems, industrial robots, laser processing equipment, new energy machinery, intelligent construction technologies, and electronic information products, among other key sectors.
- Keeping pace with three major industry trends—new‑type productive forces, AI‑driven empowerment, and green, low‑carbon development—the expo has forged a high‑level technological ecosystem characterized by deep integration among industry, academia, research institutions, and end‑users. In 2025, the expo hosted 21 professional forums and industry‑matching events, including the Cross‑Strait Industrial Forum, the New Energy Development Conference, and the Intelligent Construction Technology成果 Sharing Session, all centered on cutting‑edge topics such as “AI‑driven empowerment reshaping the landscape of a new type of industrialization.” During the event, several groundbreaking innovations made their debut, including XCMG’s world‑first methanol‑powered loader, XCMG Heavy Industries’ world‑first 120‑ton unmanned (dual‑mode) intelligent transport vehicle, and the first step‑walking device developed by China Construction First Bureau.
- For enterprises, this expo serves as a strategic gateway to expand into markets across the Taiwan Strait, connect with global resources, and showcase innovative capabilities. The expo drew 320 professional business association buyer delegations and 2,600 key purchasing enterprises, hosting a series of cross‑border initiatives, including supply‑demand matchmaking events for the high‑end equipment manufacturing industry, the China (Fujian) Green and Low‑Carbon Products Procurement Matchmaking Event, and the Indonesian Industrial Supply‑Demand Matching Event. Notably, at the high‑end equipment manufacturing supply‑demand event, 14 projects were signed on site, with an intended transaction value of RMB 535 million. Participating companies can leverage this platform to access procurement networks across the Strait and internationally, seizing early opportunities in the intelligent, green, and global transformation of the industrial sector.
