STIS - Scientific & Technological Innovation Show Shanghai

STIS – Scientific & Technological Innovation Show is a prestigious trade fair dedicated to scientific and technological innovation. It takes place every autumn in Shanghai as part of the China International Industry Fair (CIIF). The venue is the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC), one of the largest and most advanced exhibition centers in the world.

The STIS is organized by Donghao Lansheng (Group) Co., Ltd., in close cooperation with the China Machinery Industry Federation. The fair serves as a highly specialized platform where national and international players from research, development, and industry showcase groundbreaking technologies protected by independent intellectual property rights. The focus lies on transforming scientific achievements into market-ready products and driving technological progress through innovative, integrated, and already implemented solutions.

The STIS covers a wide range of topics – from advanced manufacturing technologies and intelligent systems to new materials and the latest scientific findings. Exhibitors include renowned research institutes, universities, and R&D departments of leading companies across various sectors. The event presents innovations from fields such as mechanical engineering, automation, information and communication technology, biotechnology, environmental technology, and materials science. Active participation by government agencies and international organizations further emphasizes the event’s interdisciplinary and global character.

A key highlight is the presentation of current research results by leading experts from China and abroad. These sessions provide valuable insights into emerging developments and deliver important impulses for the innovation ecosystem.

The visitor profile is as diverse as it is distinguished: decision-makers from industry, representatives from science and politics, investors, technology transfer institutions, as well as founders and developers from various high-tech sectors attend the STIS to explore technological trends, establish partnerships, and bring innovative products to market.

As an integral part of the CIIF – which includes a total of nine leading trade fairs – the STIS benefits from strong synergies and an international audience. It uniquely combines scientific excellence with industrial implementation and global outreach, offering a platform that not only showcases the technologies of tomorrow but actively helps shape them.

With the NECC, the city of Shanghai provides an ideal location: strategically connected via the international airport and the city’s rapid transit system, and situated in a vibrant environment that fosters technological exchange and economic growth.

The STIS - Scientific & Technological Innovation Show will take place on 5 days from Tuesday, 23. September to Saturday, 27. September 2025 in Shanghai.
