Global connection
With the Belt and Road initiative, CICEE has become an important bridge for communication and cooperation between local and international construction companies.
Over 3,000 international buyers, including contractors, builders and rental companies from more than 60 countries, are expected to bring substantial procurement orders in areas such as concrete mixers, excavators, tower cranes and mining equipment. Meanwhile, the International Business Networking Conference will enable local and international companies to connect and collaborate.
In terms of smart solutions, this year’s event extensively applies cutting-edge technologies like virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), providing exhibitors and visitors with an immersive viewing experience. The organising committee is also actively utilising digital technology to enhance the efficiency of the event and improve service quality.
In addition, CICEE 2025 will introduce the Emergency Equipment Industry Chain, Mining Equipment Zone and Road Equipment Zone for the first time, adopting a conference + exhibition format.
Wider scope
This year, CICEE will further expand its scope with 12 indoor halls and four outdoor areas covering four major sectors: construction machinery, emergency equipment, mining equipment and agricultural machinery. The newly established Mining Equipment Area and Emergency Rescue Equipment Area will fill the gap in the mining sector.
The Mining Equipment Area will occupy 20,000 sq m of space, focusing on exploration, mining, intelligent mining solutions, ecological restoration and financing exchanges. This section will have over 200 exhibitors and is estimated to draw more than 30,000 visitors.
CICEE 2025 will also highlight emergency equipment, responding to national strategies and driving the transformation and upgrading of the construction machinery industry.
