SHANGHAI, Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The IC Ecosystem Show (ICES 2026), one of
the flagship theme shows of the 26th China International Industry Fair (CIIF 2026),
is officially scheduled to take place from October 12 to 16, 2026, in Hall 5.2 at
the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), China. Serving as a premier
semiconductor exhibition in the Asia-Pacific region, ICES 2026 will gather top semiconductor
companies, technology innovators, equipment suppliers, and industrial end-users 
to drive cross-border collaboration and accelerate chip-intelligence convergence.

**Mapping an End-to-End Industry Value Chain Driven by Applications**

Rather than presenting products by category alone, ICES 2026 is organized around
real-world industrial applications. The exhibition showcases technologies selected
specifically for industrial-grade reliability, automotive-grade compliance, as well
as AI applications and Embodied AI, closing the loop from core chips to industrial
scenarios. Acting as a national strategic platform and a global semiconductor hub,
ICES connects the complete value chain—from design and wafer fabrication to advanced
packaging, equipment, and downstream system integration.

**Five Dedicated Exhibition Zones for Ecosystem Synergy**

ICES 2026 features five specialized exhibition zones designed to foster ecosystem-
wide synergy and commercialization. The journey begins in the Integrated Circuit
Design Zone, showcasing EDA tools and platforms, IP cores, IC design services, and
core chip solutions, including HPC processors, memory chips, power management ICs(
PMICs), and power semiconductors. Moving along the manufacturing ecosystem, the 
Wafer Fabrication Zone highlights logic and specialty process platforms, IDM and
memory manufacturing, compound semiconductor manufacturing, and smart fab facilities.
To complement this, the Packaging & Testing Zone presents advanced packaging technologies
such as Wafer-Level Packaging (WLP) and System-in-Package (SiP), alongside specialized
packaging for automotive electronics and MEMS, high-performance inspection and analysis,
and next-generation processes such as glass substrates.

Furthermore, trade visitors exploring the Semiconductor Equipment & Materials Zone
will discover core wafer fab equipment—including lithography, etching, thin-film
deposition, cleaning, and CMP—as well as metrology and inspection systems, compound-
semiconductor tools, silicon wafers, photoresists, electronic specialty gases, and
key subsystems. Finally, the Application & System Integration Zone brings together
leading end-user enterprises to showcase "Chip + Embedded Solutions" across Embodied
AI, intelligent vehicles, smart home appliances, and wearable electronics.

**High-Level Summit & Specialized Technical Forums**

Alongside the static exhibition, ICES 2026 will host a comprehensive three-tier 
conference program, including a flagship industry summit, over 10 specialized technical
forums, and exclusive executive networking events. Bringing together government 
officials, global industry executives, technology experts, and investors, the program
will deeply explore policy developments, technology trends, and market dynamics.
Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in critical tracks focusing on the
latest breakthroughs in automotive semiconductors, advanced memory technologies,
the rapid evolution of embodied AI and industrial robotics, and the future of next-
generation IC packaging and ecosystem integration.

**Join the Global Semiconductor Ecosystem in Shanghai**

As a vital part of CIIF 2026 — a 300,000-square-meter mega-event showcasing the 
complete smart and sustainable manufacturing supply chain including foundational
materials, key components, cutting-edge manufacturing equipment and solutions — 
ICES 2026 serves as an essential platform for technical exchange, product debuts,
and precision business matchmaking.

Visitor pre-registration for CIIF 2026 and the IC Ecosystem Show (ICES) is now officially
live. Industrial professionals, trade buyers, and global technology providers are
cordially invited to gather in Shanghai this October to unlock new market opportunities
and shape the future of smart manufacturing.
