CIAI Automation Exhibition Tianjin

18. - 21. March 2026 | Trade fair for automation in Tianjin

The CIAI Tianjin Automation Exhibition is a highly specialised trade fair for industrial automation and an integral part of the prestigious China International Equipment & Manufacturing Industry Expo (CIEX). It takes place annually at the Tianjin National Exhibition and Convention Centre in China.

At its core, the exhibition aims to significantly enhance efficiency, quality, and safety in industrial production. It showcases a wide array of cutting-edge solutions – from intelligent process automation and precision control and drive systems to advanced sensor technology, integrated IT platforms, and IoT-enabled manufacturing lines. Key technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), microsystems, and next-generation industrial software are presented as part of forward-looking, connected production ecosystems.

Organised by Zhenwei International Exhibition Group – one of China’s leading trade fair organisers, renowned for its professionally curated events with international reach – CIAI serves not only as a product and technology showcase, but also as a hub for knowledge exchange and collaboration between companies, research institutions, and industry professionals from around the globe.

Located in the heart of Tianjin’s industrial region, near the capital Beijing, the exhibition reflects the city’s strong technological orientation and highlights China’s pivotal role in the global automation landscape. With over 1.4 million square metres of floor space, the venue is one of the largest and most modern exhibition centres in Asia. Its expansive layout and excellent infrastructure make the National Convention and Exhibition Centre in Jinnan District an ideal destination for industry professionals.

CIAI attracts exhibitors from a wide range of key sectors, including automotive, aerospace, mechanical and plant engineering, defence, construction, agricultural technology, and the digital economy. The international audience is equally diverse: engineers, developers, production managers, decision-makers, and investors attend with a clear purpose – to discover new technologies, forge strategic partnerships, and drive innovation.

Thanks to its proximity to Tianjin Binhai International Airport and the high-speed rail link to Beijing, the venue is easily accessible. With its strategic location, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and strong focus on future technologies, the CIAI Tianjin Automation Exhibition has become a must-attend event for anyone shaping the future of industrial production.
