Visitors benefit from up-to-date market insights, valuable business connections, and numerous live demonstrations that enable direct knowledge transfer.

A key attraction of the event lies in the density of innovations unveiled each year, many of them making their debut on this stage – often accompanied by product launches and expert forums. Set in Shanghai, a major industrial and technology center, the fair benefits from an ideal location. The NECC is easily accessible by public transport and situated just a few kilometers from the international airport.
