China International Supply Chain Expo to Showcase AI Zone
BEIJING, March 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The 100-day countdown to the fourth China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) has begun. The event, themed “Connecting the world for a common future,” has evolved into a key platform for international cooperation in industrial and supply chains over its three editions. Its innovative approach has influenced global standards, with the international standard ISO 25639-1 “Trade fairs and events – terms” incorporating CISCE’s focus on connecting companies throughout the supply chain.
First Artificial Intelligence Section
This year’s expo will feature a dedicated artificial intelligence section, providing a comprehensive overview of the AI ecosystem, encompassing data, computing power, and applications. The expo will cover six supply chain areas: advanced manufacturing, clean energy, smart vehicles, digital technology, healthy living, and green agriculture, alongside a supply chain services exhibition area.
New Focus on Targeted Collaboration
Building on the previous “Honorary Guest Country” format, the fourth CISCE will introduce “Guest Provinces,” inviting overseas provinces, states, and regions with specialized industrial strengths to participate. This aims to facilitate targeted business matchmaking with Chinese provinces, cities, and companies.
International Participation and Growth
The third CISCE saw exhibitors from outside China representing 35% of participants, with over 40 executives from Fortune Global 500 companies and 172 international delegations attending. Organizers have already held nineteen international roadshows to promote the trade fair globally and are aiming to increase both the proportion of international exhibitors and the number of visitor delegations. Over 500 companies from China and around the world have registered to exhibit.
