CIBF2026: New energy industry 'super docking field' leads the wave of 2026 transformation
Against the backdrop of the global new energy battery industry accelerating into a critical leap period of "lithium sodium complementarity", "low altitude economic energy storage integration", and "solid-state battery standardization", the 18th Shenzhen International Battery Technology Exchange Conference/Exhibition (CIBF2026) has officially announced that it will be held grandly at the Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center from May 13 to 15, 2026. The scale of the exhibition has reached a new high, with an expected exhibition area exceeding 300000 square meters, attracting more than 3000 leading companies from around the world to participate. The number of professional visitors will exceed 350000, marking the comprehensive upgrade of CIBF from a traditional exhibition to an industry "super docking venue", becoming the core engine for new energy enterprises to anchor future strategies and seize the global industrial high ground.
Industrial transformation accelerates, CIBF becomes a key breakthrough point
Currently, the global battery industry is undergoing a deep restructuring: the implementation of EU battery regulations is forcing compliance upgrades, the "lithium sodium complementary" technology route is accelerating, the integration of low altitude economy and energy storage is giving rise to trillion level new scenarios, and the standardization process of solid-state batteries has become a new focus of industry competition. In this context, CIBF2026 is regarded by the industry as a 'must compete place for 2026'. The exhibition will focus on cutting-edge topics such as the industrialization of solid-state batteries and energy storage solutions for low altitude aircraft. Through the integrated service of "exhibition exhibition docking transformation", it will connect the entire chain from laboratory innovation to market application.
CIBF2025 successfully verifies the value of the 'super docking field'
The impressive performance of CIBF2025 confirms the irreplaceability of this platform:
Policy precision empowermentOn site policy interpretation platform directly targets industry pain points, such as compliance paths for power battery recycling, practical guidelines for EU battery regulations, etc., to help enterprises transform macro policies into executable strategies;
Leading technology debut:Nearly a hundred innovative achievements such as Ningde Times' second-generation sodium ion battery and Ruipu Lanjun's customized low altitude equipment battery were showcased, promoting multiple strategic partnerships;
Significant commercial and trade effectiveness:The single enterprise intention orders of GCL Lithium Battery exceeded 20 billion yuan, and the overall intention transaction volume exceeded 24 billion yuan;
Breakthrough in standard output:Promote the promotion of IEC international standards, consolidate consensus in the solid-state battery industry, release a white paper on low altitude aircraft batteries, and accelerate the "going global" of Chinese standards.
This "policy technology commerce standard" full chain ecosystem has become a key support for enterprises to overcome cyclical fluctuations and cope with the intense competition in going global.
CIBF2026：From 'Exhibition Platform' to 'Strategic Hub'
In 2026, CIBF will deepen and upgrade to an industrial "strategic hub":
Focusing on industry pain points:Organize high-level technical forums and standard seminars around the bottleneck of solid-state battery mass production and the collaborative application of lithium sodium batteries;
Strengthening the Global Network:Relying on industry resources covering more than 50 countries, building bridges for government enterprise dialogue, precise R&D capital docking stations, upstream and downstream ecosystems, and assisting China in leading global rule making through standard setting;
Empowering enterprises to go global:Establish a 'China Standard Overseas Zone' to provide overseas compliance consulting and market access support for enterprises, targeting the core of global competition.
CIBF is no longer just an exhibition, but also a 'navigator' for corporate strategy. ”A senior executive of a leading battery company said, "In the current era of intensified industry cycle fluctuations, CIBF's precise matching ability has increased technology conversion efficiency by more than 30%, which is the core battlefield we must strive for in 2026
Industry opportunities should not be missed
With the wave of green energy sweeping the world, the new energy battery industry is shifting from "scale competition" to "standard and ecological competition". The positioning of CIBF2026 as a "super docking field" provides enterprises with an irreplaceable window period: grasping policy trends, locking in technological frontiers, leveraging commercial cooperation, and leading standard discourse power. Missing this grand event means missing the golden window for a new round of industrial leap.
