“     From a pavilion to a landmark, the energy level of industrial connectors is being magnified exponentially.

In 2025, the breakthrough progress of artificial intelligence and the reshaping of the global industrial landscape are intertwined, pushing the robotics industry to an unprecedented period of strategic opportunity. Morgan Stanley in the "Robotics Unleashed, A New Era" report clearly predicts that the scale of China's robotics industry will double by 2028.

China, as the core position with the most active robotics innovation and the largest market in the world, is facing key industrial issues: how to make the upstream core technology reuse to multiple scenarios? How to accelerate laboratory innovation towards large-scale application? How to link global resources to achieve international breakthrough?

The answer lies in efficient industrial connection and ecological aggregation.

If the inaugural FAIR plus in 2025 was a “first hit”, then the upgrade in 2026 is a “cornerstone”. This is a confident innovation based on a successful model, and a firm increase in the value of the platform.

 Physical space doubled: 7500m2 → 15000m2 ：

The inaugural FAIR plus created the industry's “highest business density of the year” in a 7,500 square metre stand-alone exhibition hall. FAIR plus 2026 will directly double its exhibition space to 15,000 square metres.

This is not only an increase in numbers, but also provides a solid physical foundation for richer product displays, more in-depth technology demonstrations and more comfortable business negotiations.

 Number of exhibitors doubled: 210 → 500+ exhibitors ：

The first edition of the show brought together 210 quality exhibitors, which is already a high starting point for the industry. 2026, the show aims to target more than 500 renowned companies from all segments of the industry chain.

This means that from the key “joints” and “senses” such as servo systems, sensors and integrated joints, to the “robot brain” such as intelligent algorithms and development platforms, to the innovative machines and integrated applications, you will be able to gain a one-stop insight into the complete industry chain ecological picture from the technology source to the end scene. From the key "joints" and "senses" such as servo systems, sensors and integrated joints, to the "brain" of robots such as intelligent algorithms and development platforms, to the innovative machines and integrated applications, you will be able to gain a one-stop insight into the ecological landscape of the complete industrial chain from the source of technology to the terminal scenes.

Currently, there is a strong momentum of recruitment and exhibition.The number of confirmed exhibitors has exceeded 250The magnetic effect of the platform is significant.

 Audience size and quality leap: 35,000 → 50,000+ ：

The last show attracted around 35,000 professional visitors, including more than 600 overseas buyers, and FAIR plus 2026 is expected to welcome more than 50,000 professional visitors.

What's more, relying on the global resources of the joint venture company set up by the organiser Shenzhen Robotics Association and Messe Stuttgart, the conference will systematically introduce the audience resources of VISION, the world's top machine vision event, and LogiMAT, the benchmark for intralogistics technology, as well as meticulously organise more than 2,500 overseas buyers to provide on-the-ground We will also carefully organise more than 2,500 overseas buyers and provide on-site support to ensure the quality and conversion efficiency of international visitors.

 Event capacity increase: 40 events → 50+ events ：

From more than 40 professional events in the inaugural edition, upgraded to more than 50 high-profile forums, seminars and closed-door matchmaking sessions, FAIR plus 2026's event matrix is designed to go beyond the traditional forum model and build an active community of tech developers and an industrial fusion field.

The new agenda will focus on open source salon, eco-convening and standards seminar, which will allow technical experts and developers to meet face to face to build a community ecology and escort the industry upgrading with standards. These diversified activities will resonate with the 15,000-square-metre physical exhibition, which will not only facilitate business opportunities, but also jointly promote the development of China's robotics industry and intelligent manufacturing capabilities to the world, and truly realise the core value of building an international industry event.

A huge scale requires a solid backbone to support it. two other highlights of FAIR plus 2026 ensure that the advantages of its scale translate into real value for every participant.

 Internationalisation depth ：

The official background of the Sino-German joint venture (which has become a model case of international co-operation by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology) gives it the ability to reach out to 54 countries around the world. At the same time, the conference has successfully cooperated with the German VDMA Automation and Robotics Branch (the secretariat of the International Federation of Robotics IFR) as the co-host of the Industry Forum, and facilitated the cooperation with the top academic journal Science Robotics, which not only sets a high standard tone for academic exchanges, but also signifies that FAIR plus has already established an authoritative channel for linking the core of the global industry with the academic frontiers. The cooperation with the top academic journal Science Robotics

 Closed loop industrial chain ecology ：

The platform is not only for exhibition, but also committed to promoting collaborative innovation and transformation of achievements. From the industrial chain docking meeting (the last session had facilitated a single 500 million yuan strategic cooperation), to the active technology developer community, to the offline long-term “AIR Design House Global Robotics Development Selection Service Centre”, FAIR plus has built a complete empowerment system from technology to product, from exhibition to transaction. FAIR plus has built a complete empowerment system from technology to products, from exhibition to transaction.

When the 15,000 square metres of space is infused with the soul of “whole industry chain synergy - globalisation ecology - whole scene empowerment”, it is no longer just an exhibition.It is the watchtower of the technology frontier, the exploding point of business opportunities, and the core hub for China's robotics industry to go global and for the world's innovation resources to link up with China.

FAIR plus 2026.

A future-defining industrial infrastructure is in place.

Here, in 2026, are industrial co-ordinates not to be missed.

Grab a seat at the centre of the golden age of the robotics industry and act now!
