Countdown to Innovation: CIOE 2025 Opens Its Doors in Just One Week!

The 26th China International Optoelectronic Exposition (CIOE) will take place from September 10 to 12, 2025, at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center. As the global benchmark event for the optoelectronic industry, CIOE 2025 will bring together over 3,800 leading enterprises showcasing innovations across the entire industry chain—from information and communication to precision optics, lasers, AR/VR, infrared applications, intelligent sensing, and display technologies. Get your pass now.

A major highlight this year is the concurrent Shenzhen International Semiconductor Exhibition & IC Exhibition (SEMI-e). Co-organized by CIOE and the Integrated Circuit Innovation Alliance, and jointly executed by Shenzhen Zhongxincai Exhibition Co., Ltd. and IJiWei.com, SEMI-e focuses on three core themes: IC Design and Applications, IC Manufacturing and Supply Chain, and Compound Semiconductors.

The dual exhibitions span over 300,000 square meters, attracting 5,000 exhibitors showcasing cutting-edge products and technologies, with an expected attendance of more than 160,000 professional visitors engaging in business negotiations. The deep integration of optoelectronics + semiconductors is unleashing new cross-industry collaborative potential, providing a broader platform for industrial innovation. Get access to two exhibitions with one badge to maximize your industry networking potential.
