cippe Shanghai

The China International Petroleum & Petrochemical Technology and Equipment Exhibition (cippe) is recognized as one of the world’s most important trade fairs for the petroleum, gas, and petrochemical industries. As a leading international industry event, it annually brings together top experts, innovative companies, and technological pioneers at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) — a modern exhibition venue with excellent infrastructure and direct access to Shanghai’s urban transport network.

The acronym cippe represents more than just a name: it stands for an international network of trade fairs dedicated to technological advancement and transformation within the energy sector. The event is organized by the Zhenwei International Exhibition Group, an experienced organizer that has established cippe as a key platform for professional exchange, innovation, and economic stimulus. The Shanghai edition is part of a prestigious exhibition series also held in other Chinese cities such as Beijing, with each location highlighting regional strengths and industry-specific themes.

The thematic scope of cippe Shanghai is as broad as it is in-depth. It spans complete systems and process solutions for the oil and chemical industries, cutting-edge sealing technologies, control systems (PLC/DCS), explosion protection, industrial air purification systems, waste treatment technologies, and pressure vessel equipment. The exhibition is known for its high degree of specialization, offering not only a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art but also deep insights into the entire value chain—from exploration and processing to disposal.

Exhibitors represent a wide range of sectors, including manufacturers of drilling technologies, suppliers of refinery systems, engineering firms, research institutions, and providers of safety and automation technology. The professional audience includes decision-makers, technical directors, and procurement specialists from the global energy sector, with participants from over 50 countries. As such, the trade fair serves as a central hub for international partnerships and business collaborations.

A distinctive feature of cippe is its accompanying technical conferences. These sessions explore current industry trends, regulatory frameworks, and strategic developments, providing a platform for idea exchange—often resulting in concrete collaboration opportunities.

Attending cippe in Shanghai offers access to a world-class trade fair at an exceptional venue. The SNIEC is located near Pudong Airport and is easily accessible by subway or shuttle. In the heart of one of Asia’s most dynamic metropolises, the event offers a forward-looking perspective on the future of the energy industry.

The cippe takes place annually, and therefore for the eighteenth time previsibly in June 2026 in Shanghai.
