展会简介
Three Key Value Propositions of the Chengdu Western Optoelectronics Exhibition (Chengdu Optoelectronics Expo)
- The Only Annual Full-Industry-Chain Event for the Central and Western Optoelectronics Sector: As the longest-running specialized exhibition in China’s central and western regions—and the only one in the west to cover the entire optoelectronics value chain—this event has, over 23 editions, evolved into a benchmark platform rooted in the Chengdu–Chongqing metropolitan area and extending nationwide. The 24th edition in 2026 is expected to span 40,000 square meters, bringing together 800 exhibitors and attracting 35,000 professional visitors.
- Precise Access to the Trillion‑Yuan Chengdu–Chongqing Market: The Chengdu Optoelectronics Expo directly supports the thriving national-level Chengdu–Chongqing Twin-City Economic Circle strategy. Sichuan’s optoelectronic information industry has already reached a trillion‑yuan scale, with key application sectors—including aerospace, defense electronics, and new‑energy vehicles—concentrating within the region. Participation provides the most direct pathway to connect with core regional users, research institutes, and government projects, enabling rapid expansion into emerging western markets.
- Comprehensive Coverage Across 18 Major Thematic Areas of the Entire Industry Chain: Exhibits span the full spectrum of the optoelectronics value chain, including precision optics, laser and intelligent manufacturing, infrared technology, optical communications, smart sensing, and chip semiconductors—offering end-to-end solutions from optical materials and core components to system integration. With a strong focus on cutting-edge technologies such as laser precision machining, optical sensing, and infrared thermal imaging, the show aligns closely with regional industrial priorities and addresses real‑world application needs in aerospace, defense electronics, and other sectors.
- A Platform Where Research Institutes and Industry Leaders Converge: The event brings together top-tier research institutions, including the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Optics and Electronics, the Institute of Optics and Mechanics, Huawei’s Technology Center, Tianfu Xinglong Lake Laboratory, and Peking University’s Yangtze River Delta Institute of Optoelectronic Science, alongside hundreds of leading companies such as Sunny Optical, Han’s Laser, Guide Infrared, FiberHome Technologies, and Raycus Fiber Laser. Participating means becoming part of the western optoelectronics ecosystem and forging deep connections with local industry leaders and academic institutions.
- More Than Ten High‑Profile Forums Empowering Industry Leadership: Concurrently held are over ten high‑level forums, including the China Western Optoelectronics Industry Innovation and Development Forum, the Optical Communications Innovation Forum, the Laser Applications Forum, and the Infrared Applications Forum. These events delve into transformative applications such as photonic AI chips, quantum communication, automotive LiDAR, and AR/VR optical displays. With no registration fees, the forums gather industry experts, academics, and corporate executives, fostering cross‑sectoral collaboration among industry, academia, research, and end‑users.
- A Strategic Gateway to Policies and Resources: Backed by co‑sponsorship from the Chengdu Municipal People’s Government and the Southwest Optoelectronics Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance, the expo facilitates close alignment with local industrial policies and talent‑development initiatives. Parallel sessions, such as the Industrial Chain Leader Meeting and industry‑academia‑research matchmaking events, provide an efficient platform for enterprises seeking long‑term strategic positioning in the west and access to policy support.
