ITES CHINA - SHENZHEN INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT EXHIBITION

About the fair

The Shenzhen International Industrial Manufacturing Technology and Equipment Exhibition (ITES China), founded in 2000 and also known as the Shenzhen International Machinery Manufacturing Industry Exhibition, has grown over 21 years on the wave of reform and opening in Shenzhen. It is now South China's largest exhibition of advanced manufacturing technologies and equipment, actively promoting the high-quality development of China's advanced manufacturing industry. Given the rapid growth of the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area, ITES China aims to be a world-class industrial event and a strong force for technological progress, business cooperation and industrial development. It has built close cooperation with leading companies across 15 major industries — 3C electronics, medical devices, lithium batteries, semiconductors, textiles, printing, packaging, logistics, woodworking equipment and more — hosting high-level industry summits and professional platforms for displays, business matching and communication. ITES China has won the 'Top 10 Shenzhen Brands' award for 11 consecutive years and is certified by UFI and BPA Worldwide.

Planning the trip

• Register the badge online. Every major fair issues visitor badges in advance, and on-site registration means queueing on the busiest morning of the show. Registration usually opens one to two months out.
• Check the visa position early. China's entry rules have changed repeatedly in recent years, including visa-free arrangements for a growing list of countries and transit exemptions. Confirm what applies to your passport for this month, and ask the organiser for an invitation letter if a business visa is needed — issuing one is routine.
• Book accommodation before the dates firm up. A large fair fills its host city and rates move accordingly. Cancellable bookings made early cost less than confirmed ones made late.
• Decide which halls before you arrive. The bigger Chinese fairs run to several halls across separate phases, and walking them without a plan burns a day. Shortlist the stands you need and treat anything else as a bonus.
• Plan the follow-up, not just the visit. Business cards collected at a fair convert poorly once you fly home: quotes arrive in patchy English, samples stall, and the time difference eats a day per exchange. Deciding who handles that before you travel is what makes the trip pay for itself.
