• Promote industry technological innovation under the theme of "New Quality Productivity." The 2025 CICEE will see a concentrated burst of new technologies, products, new methods, and integrated service solutions for the global engineering machinery industry, covering areas from digitization, intelligence, low-carbon, 5G, unmanned driving, smart construction, to green, electric, and hydrogen energy. It is expected that 1,800 companies will participate, showcasing 1,500 high-end, integrated, new products, and new technologies.
• Deepen the "Belt and Road" initiative and set the global trend for the engineering machinery market.
