The 27th China Beijing International High-Tech Expo opened Thursday at the National Convention Center and will run through May 11.
This year’s event features over 600 new products across six themed exhibition zones of information technology, smart manufacturing, healthcare, green development, the digital economy, and regional innovation.
More than 800 enterprises and organizations from home and abroad are participating, with the total exhibition area reaching about 50,000 square meters – more than doubled that of last year.
International exhibitors from countries including Russia, France, Japan, the U.S., and ASEAN nations occupy over 3,000 square meters, according to a Beijing municipal official responsible for promoting international trade.
Headline exhibits include China’s first 1,000-qubit coherent optical quantum computer, capable of accelerating tasks like drug discovery; AI-powered orthopedic surgical robots already in clinical use at over 100 hospitals; wall-climbing robots for infrastructure inspections; and a new generation of humanoid robots.
The expo also showcases key breakthroughs driving emerging industries. Highlights include a domestically developed fuel cell air compressor that lowers hydrogen fuel costs, a turboshaft engine built for unmanned helicopters and eVTOL aircraft, and the first bioengineered heart valve product developed specifically for infants.
In parallel with the exhibition, a series of trade and investment promotion events are being held, covering themes such as international investment, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei trade cooperation, and international business law.
