IE Expo China Guangzhou

The IE expo China in Guangzhou is the leading trade fair for environmental technologies in South China and is exclusively aimed at professional visitors. It takes place annually at the renowned China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou – one of Asia’s most important exhibition centers, known for its state-of-the-art infrastructure in the economically dynamic Pearl River Delta. The event is organized by the Munich Expo Group in cooperation with Shanghai China Trade International Exhibition Co., and is part of a well-established international environmental trade fair brand. As the South China edition of the world-leading IFAT trade fair in Munich, IE expo China stands for professional expertise, innovative technologies, and international exchange.

The exhibition offers a practice-oriented platform tailored specifically to the needs of the heavily industrialized regions of South China. Its focus lies on forward-looking solutions in water and wastewater treatment, waste management and recycling, air pollution control, soil and groundwater remediation, and integrated environmental services. Companies offering products and systems for industrial wastewater treatment, advanced recycling methods, energy-efficient waste utilization, or air quality monitoring technologies will find excellent access to the Chinese market here—a market with strong growth potential and government support for environmental innovation.

A distinctive feature of the fair is its emphasis on practical technologies for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). These are widely represented in the region, especially in industries such as textiles, electronics, leather, and food processing—all sectors with high water consumption and waste output that require efficient, cost-effective, and immediately deployable solutions. IE expo China delivers precisely that: ready-to-use technologies combined with a robust technical and scientific conference program that facilitates high-level knowledge exchange and international dialogue.

At the same time, the exhibition reflects current developments in Chinese environmental policy, particularly the shift toward a circular economy. New business models and resource-efficient technologies showcase this transformation and make it tangible on-site. Thus, IE expo China serves not only as a trade platform but also as a driving force for sustainable growth and industrial transformation.

For international companies looking to enter the Chinese environmental technology market, IE expo China in Guangzhou represents a key destination—strategically relevant, solution-oriented, and uniquely positioned.

The IE Expo China takes place annually, and therefore for the 10th time previsibly in September 2026 in Guangzhou.
