Good fit for

Semiconductor equipment and materials suppliers
Chip design and IP firms
Investors tracking the Greater Bay Area cluster

Note

Runs in the same mid-October Shenzhen window as TCT and the advanced ceramics shows — different venue, so check which site you need.

International

4 / 5

Why it matters

State Council-approved and China's largest technology transfer event — 400,000 sqm, 5,000+ exhibitors, 450,000 visitors from 120+ countries. Unusually it is built around technology licensing and investment as much as product sales, so it suits a company with IP to license rather than boxes to ship.

Who is in the room

Investors, technology buyers, government innovation bodies, corporate R&D

Good fit for

Deep-tech companies seeking Chinese licensees or investors
AI, robotics and semiconductor firms
Research institutions commercialising IP

Watch out

Licensing and investment discussions in China need your IP position settled first. Register the trademark and patents before you present at a fair like this, not after.
