The 2026 24th Shanghai International Automation and Robotics Exhibition (SIA Smart Factory Exhibition) is set to illuminate the banks of the Huangpu River with the brilliance of technology. This annual grand event in the field of intelligent manufacturing will officially open at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre on June 3, 2026, and run until June 5. As one of the most influential industrial automation exhibitions in the Asia-Pacific region, this event acts as a precision technological clock, accurately presenting the latest pulse of global intelligent manufacturing.
The exhibition will gather industry leaders from over 30 countries and regions. More than 2,000 exhibitors will use robotic arms to outline the future of factories and digital twin technology to replicate the embryonic form of the industrial metaverse within this modern venue spanning 250,000 square meters. The precision gears of Germany's Industry 4.0 will intersect with Japan's lean manufacturing flexible production lines here, while the innovative momentum of China's intelligent manufacturing will surge forward like the waters of the Yangtze River.
Under the theme of "Intelligently Connecting the World, Manufacturing the Future," the exhibition will feature eight dedicated thematic zones covering cutting-edge fields such as industrial robots, smart logistics, and machine vision. Visitors will witness collaborative robots performing precise "mechanical ballets" under the spotlight, experience the logistics symphony composed of AGVs, and touch the intelligent neural network woven by the Industrial Internet. Concurrently, over 50 high-level summits will bring together top global experts to decode the future of intelligent manufacturing.
Standing in Pudong New Area, this steel and glass giant—the Shanghai New International Expo Centre—will provide the perfect stage for this technological feast through its massive scale of 17 modern halls. Its extensive transportation network, much like the neural network of the exhibition, will connect every innovation node in the global intelligent manufacturing sector.
To promote the digital transformation of China's manufacturing industry, facilitate the correct application of intelligent manufacturing technologies, and strengthen friendly exchanges and cooperation among enterprises, the SIA Shanghai International Automation and Robotics Exhibition will integrate years of industry resources and development advantages to be grandly held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre from June 3 to 5, 2026. Multiple forums will be held concurrently, inviting authoritative experts, renowned enterprises, and mainstream manufacturers to share frontier trends, typical cases, application hotspots, and implementation strategies in intelligent manufacturing development. Leading intelligent manufacturing manufacturers will be organized to conduct on-site demonstrations, guiding manufacturing enterprises in the right direction for digital transformation and advancing intelligent manufacturing, and boosting the recovery of the intelligent manufacturing market in East China!
