The 27th China International Optoelectronic Exposition (CIOE 2026), one of the world’s most influential optoelectronics industry events, is set to open from September 9 to 11 at Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center. Centered on AI‑optoelectronics integration, this year’s show gathers more than 4,000 leading exhibitors from over 30 countries and regions, drawing expected 150,000‑plus professional visitors across the globe.
Covering 260,000 square meters of exhibition space, CIOE 2026 runs eight themed expos spanning information communication, precision optics, laser & intelligent manufacturing, infrared & ultraviolet technology, intelligent sensing, AR/VR, new display and optoelectronic innovation, covering the full industrial chain from raw materials, core chips, key equipment to complete system solutions. For the first time, CIOE co‑locates with IICIE International Integrated Circuit Innovation Expo and elexcon Shenzhen International Electronics Expo. The combined three‑show complex expands total exhibition floor to 320,000 square meters, creating a seamless platform linking optoelectronics, semiconductors and embedded electronics sectors, with over 5,000 total exhibitors and 240,000 projected attendees.
AI‑empowered optical interconnection for computing infrastructure stands as the hottest theme this year. Exhibitors will unveil cutting‑edge products including 1.6T high‑speed optical transceivers, next‑generation 2.4T/3.2T modules, CPO and NPO near‑packaged optics prototypes, silicon photonics chips and thin‑film lithium niobate devices, responding to explosive bandwidth demands from large‑scale AI computing clusters. Apart from hardware displays, more than 90 technical forums will be hosted during the three‑day event, where industry experts, academic researchers and enterprise executives will discuss technical standards, supply‑chain challenges and commercial‑roadmap for AI‑oriented optoelectronic components.
Beyond optical communication, breakthroughs in laser processing, machine‑vision optics, infrared imaging, AR‑VR optical engines and smart sensors are also heavily featured. The expo serves not only as a product launch venue but also a critical global hub for business matching, technical exchange and cross‑border partnership building. As artificial intelligence keeps reshaping digital economy, CIOE 2026 offers an essential window to observe global optoelectronics trends and accelerate technology transformation from lab to real‑world deployment.
