IOTE Shenzhen

The IOTE – International Internet of Things Exhibition is a leading trade fair for the Internet of Things (IoT), which has established itself since its inception in 2009 as an international platform for innovation, applications, and technological developments in the IoT sector. A key venue for the event is the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center – one of the largest and most advanced exhibition centers in the world. Located in the high-tech metropolis of Shenzhen, the venue provides an ideal setting for forward-thinking technology events.

The organizer, Shenzhen U-Link Media Co. Ltd., is a trade show and media company specializing in IoT topics. It is recognized as a major driving force behind technological connectivity and digital solutions. The IOTE covers the entire IoT value chain – from core technologies such as chips, sensors, and communication modules to IoT platforms, industry-specific applications, and supporting services. The exhibition offers a comprehensive overview of key areas including RFID, smart manufacturing, artificial intelligence, edge computing, big data, IoT security, smart cities, and smart homes.

A strong focus is placed on the real-world implementation of these technologies – in areas such as industrial automation, logistics, urban infrastructure management, healthcare, retail, and the construction and energy sectors. IOTE serves not only as an exhibition platform but also as a hub for knowledge exchange, professional development, and business networking. Accompanying the exhibition are expert presentations, forums, and product showcases that spotlight cutting-edge topics such as predictive maintenance, machine learning, and wearables.

Exhibitors represent a wide range of industries – from manufacturing, telecommunications, and transportation to IT, commerce, and research institutions. The visitor base is equally diverse, attracting system integrators, developers, buyers, public sector representatives, and decision-makers who attend to explore new technologies, initiate partnerships, and stay informed on the latest market trends.

The IOTE is part of a global exhibition series held in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Barcelona, actively promoting international exchange within the IoT industry.

The Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center impresses with its state-of-the-art infrastructure, excellent public transport connections, and a wide range of nearby accommodation and dining options. The city of Shenzhen itself is a vibrant hub of China’s high-tech industry, known for its innovation, transformation, and technological dynamism – making it the perfect backdrop for a trade fair that shapes the digital future.

The IOTE will take place on 3 days from Wednesday, 27. August to Friday, 29. August 2025 in Shenzhen.
