China (West) Electronic Information Expo Chengdu

The China (West) Electronic Information Expo, formerly known as the China Electronics Fair West (CEF), is one of China’s most established and forward-looking trade fairs for electronics and information technology. Since its inception in 1964, it has served as a specialized platform for professionals and enterprises from across the electronics, information, and communication technology sectors.

Held biennially at the Century City New International Convention & Exhibition Center (CCNICEC) in Chengdu, the Expo takes place in one of Southwest China's most dynamic innovation hubs. Chengdu is recognized as a key center for digital and industrial development in the region. The event is organized by China Electronic Appliance Co., Ltd., a leading player in exhibition management for the electronics and high-tech industries.

At the heart of the Expo is a clear focus on the digital future. Its thematic scope spans intelligent devices, artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure, electronic components, integrated circuits, testing and measurement technologies, and industrial digitalization solutions. Key innovations such as XR terminals, flexible AMOLED displays, drones, low-altitude aviation systems, smart mobility solutions, smart cities, and AI-driven manufacturing processes are prominently featured. The Expo offers hands-on insights into the integration of industrial applications with digital vision – from smart factories and digital healthcare to next-generation energy systems.

As a showcase of technological excellence, the Expo features both market-ready products and emerging innovations in fields such as supercomputing, the Internet of Things, 5G/6G communications, battery systems, satellite technology, and cybersecurity services. It provides an ideal environment for professionals from automotive engineering, aerospace, energy, defense and dual-use technologies, chip design, transport systems, and electronics manufacturing to explore opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and technology transfer.

A highlight of the event is the series of expert forums and panel discussions, where industry leaders address current trends in areas such as integrated circuits, large-scale AI models, measurement technology, RF and microwave engineering, and industrial supply chains.

The Expo is primarily geared toward industry professionals, technology providers, product developers, manufacturing service providers, investors, start-ups, research institutions, and representatives of governmental development initiatives. Closely aligned with China’s regional development strategies, it supports the economic growth of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone, the Belt and Road Initiative, and high-tech development programs in Western China.

As part of the broader China Electronics Fair network, which also includes events in Shanghai and Shenzhen, the western edition in Chengdu provides targeted access to stakeholders in Central and Western China. It plays a vital role in connecting national innovation agendas with regional industrial strengths.

The modern Century City New International Convention & Exhibition Center is located in Chengdu’s southern high-tech corridor and is well-connected to the city’s transportation infrastructure. It is easily accessible from Chengdu Tianfu International Airport and the central railway station via subway, taxi, or shuttle bus. With its state-of-the-art facilities, expansive exhibition spaces, and proximity to hotels, restaurants, and business centers, the venue offers optimal conditions for a successful trade fair experience in one of China’s most innovative cities.
