What the fair covers
Electronic components, assemblies and consumer devices are the core of the show. The 28th China Hi-Tech Fair , China's largest science and technology exhibition, covering smart manufacturing, AI, new energy, biomedicine, new materials, digital economy and innovation transfer. 3,000+ exhibitors, 500,000+ visitors. That shapes both the exhibitor mix and the questions worth preparing before you arrive.
Dates, venue and getting there
The fair runs from 26 November to 28 November 2026 at Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center in Shenzhen. It runs for 3 days, which is short, so deciding which halls to prioritise before arriving makes a difference. Shenzhen is China's electronics manufacturing centre, and its proximity to factories is the practical advantage of visiting. High speed rail reaches Guangzhou and Hong Kong quickly, and many buyers arrange factory visits in the surrounding area either side of the fair.
Planning your visit
This is a technical audience, and booth conversations move quickly to tolerances, testing and certification. Engineering staff are often present alongside sales teams, which is where the detailed answers come from. For CHTF 2026 , China Hi-Tech Fair, that means preparing ahead of the November dates and arriving with a target list of stands.
Language and interpreting support
Most exhibitors are Chinese manufacturers, and while larger stands often have English speaking sales staff, that is not something to rely on across a whole venue. English tends to run out exactly where it matters most, once a conversation moves to specifications, tolerances, materials and pricing terms. Buyers working with an interpreter generally cover more ground in a day, because they can negotiate directly rather than through a phone app. An interpreter already working in Shenzhen saves further time simply by knowing the venue and how to move around it.
After the fair
The work after the fair is verification. Check compliance marks and test reports against your market requirements, confirm the bill of materials matches what was quoted, and consider a production inspection with functional testing before the first full shipment.
