ICTS Information & Communication Technology Show Shanghai

The ICTS – Information & Communication Technology Show is one of China’s leading trade fairs for industrial information and communication technology and an integral part of the prestigious China International Industry Fair (CIIF). Its name not only reflects its thematic focus but also represents a platform that makes technological innovations in industrial digitalization visible, accessible, and economically viable.

Once a year, ICTS opens its doors at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) in Shanghai. As one of the largest exhibition venues in the world, the NECC provides the ideal setting for an event of this scale. The trade fair is organized by Donghao Lansheng (Group) Co., Ltd. in cooperation with the China Machinery Industry Federation, underscoring its strategic importance for the country’s industrial policy.

What sets ICTS apart is its clear focus on the digital transformation of industrial value chains. It bridges technological developments with practical applications and covers topics such as artificial intelligence, industrial software, the Internet of Things, data centers, semiconductor technology, cloud solutions, smart manufacturing, digital supply chains, and information security. In addition, emerging fields such as intelligent cockpits, the low-altitude economy, and unmanned technologies are gaining increasing prominence.

The exhibition not only showcases innovative products – from integrated circuits and embedded software to industry-specific IT solutions – but also demonstrates their concrete applications across sectors including mechanical engineering, energy, electronics, transport, logistics, and telecommunications. This makes ICTS a central meeting point for companies, decision-makers, and professionals across the entire industrial value chain.

Its relevance extends far beyond China. Experts, researchers, and entrepreneurs from around the world participate in forums, panels, and industry dialogues to discuss current trends and foster new partnerships. The event attracts specialists from industry, research, development, digitalization, and management – precisely those groups driving the transformation of entire sectors.

By being closely integrated with the other specialized trade fairs of the CIIF, ICTS creates synergies that go well beyond the scope of a traditional exhibition.

Anyone wishing to experience the progress of industrial digitalization firsthand, discover groundbreaking technologies, and establish high-level partnerships will find ICTS in Shanghai the ideal venue. The NECC is seamlessly connected to the city’s transport network and can be easily reached by metro, train, car, or plane – making it a true hub for today’s and tomorrow’s innovation leaders.

The ICTS Information & Communication Technology Show will take place on 5 days from Tuesday, 23. September to Saturday, 27. September 2025 in Shanghai.
