China News Service, Shanghai, November 10 (Reporters Xu Jing and Zheng Yingying) As a window to observe the Chinese market, the CIIE has continued to send open signals to the world for many years. Walking into the 9th CIIE, it is not difficult to find that relying on complete industrial supporting facilities and rich application scenarios, the Chinese market has become a "testing ground" for multinational companies to iterate technology solutions; many mature solutions polished in China have also gone overseas, forming a pattern of demand-driven innovation and two-way flow of results.
Ericsson, which has participated in the exhibition for nine consecutive years, displayed cutting-edge layouts around differentiated connectivity, AI RAN, and 6G ecology at this exhibition. The huge demand of the digital economy has given rise to a wealth of domestic 5G-A and industrial intelligence implementation scenarios, making China an important testing ground for its AI native network. Based on two research reports on the consumer side and the industrial side, Ericsson proposed the concept of "intelligent network base" and predicted that smart glasses and autonomous agents will continue to reshape traffic patterns. Domestic diverse testing soil provides implementation space for physical AI, heterogeneous computing power, post-quantum security and other directions. The testing experience and technical routes accumulated in Chinese scenarios also feed back the global 6G standard ecosystem.
Zhang Yongtao, deputy general manager of the Technology Department of Ericsson China, believes that moving from 5G-A to AI-native 6G, multi-scenario commercial cultivation and industry collaboration are essential processes for technology to mature. Ericsson will rely on its own technological advantages, adhere to its commitment to Chinese and global customers, and fully support the network construction and business development of Chinese operators.
As a "full-time student" of the CIIE, Johnson Controls has been rooted in the Chinese market for more than 30 years. It closely follows the needs of emerging fields such as computing power and biomedicine to create integrated thermal management and low-carbon solutions. Domestic industrial upgrading has given rise to stringent requirements such as high-density heat dissipation and clean environment protection, prompting them to upgrade thermal management from supporting facilities to core infrastructure. This set of proven and mature solutions in the local market has also followed the company's overseas expansion to Southeast Asia, taking root in China and empowering the world.
Hou Sushan, president of Johnson Controls Asia Pacific, said that the implementation of new productivity cannot be separated from reliable infrastructure, and local demand is the source of innovation. "The CIIE has long gone beyond being an exhibition and has become a platform for deepening cooperation and implementing innovation. Relying on this window, companies can showcase their technologies, connect with business opportunities, and continue to understand the Chinese market and calibrate the direction of local R&D and innovation."
The continued growth of foreign trade has driven companies' demand for supply chain resilience and international connectivity capabilities. Customs data shows that the total import and export value of my country's goods trade in the first three quarters of 2026 was 39.94 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 18.8%. FedEx will showcase smart logistics, sustainable operations and professional transportation solutions at this CIIE. This cross-border logistics service provider has been in China for more than 40 years. While helping overseas companies enter China and accompanying local companies to go overseas, it also relies on AI to optimize cross-border links, develop green transportation capacity, and support domestic start-up brands to expand into international markets. Xu Baoyan, President of FedEx China, said: "We are committed to supporting companies to seize new growth opportunities in the new era of international trade." In her view, the current market needs not just basic transportation, but global supply chain partners that are connected, visible, and resilient.
Nuremberg International Exhibition Group, which participated in the exhibition for the first time, uses the exhibition as a link and leverages the CIIE platform to deeply explore the Chinese business and trade service market. Since settling in Shanghai in 2006, the group has insisted on "bringing in + going out", introducing high-quality overseas exhibition resources, and at the same time serving Chinese enterprises to participate in overseas exhibitions. From 2015 to 2026, its Chinese business revenue and profits have grown steadily. During the exhibition, the group connected with Shanghai’s commercial departments and key industrial enterprises to build a bridge for cross-border business exchanges, hoping to create more opportunities for enterprises’ cross-market development.
Yingkang Lifespan explores the path for local scenes to nurture AI innovation in the people's livelihood track. At this CIIE, Yingkang Lifespan released the "1+3+X" AI strategic blueprint, bringing six major implementation scenarios such as "AI+low-temperature biotechnology" and "AI+autonomous drug management" in an attempt to reshape the health value chain with AI. This system is based on the real needs of domestic clinical medicine, biopharmaceuticals, and active health, and the model and process are continuously polished during scenario trials. According to Lu Xing, head of Yingkang Lifespan's AI strategic planning, the scene samples on the booth are just a microcosm of the results. The deeper value lies in the fact that local health scenes continue to stimulate the organization's AI creativity and explore digital-real integration paradigms in the field of big health.
The ultra-large-scale Chinese market is a "testing ground" for global innovation, and mature solutions go global from here. The open platform established by the CIIE promotes the in-depth connection between global innovation resources and local industry needs, and explores feasible paths for green transformation and smart upgrades.
