CDWE Chengdu

The 20th Chengdu International Water Exhibition (CDWE 2026) is a specialized B2B trade platform dedicated to water technology and water environment solutions in Western China. The exhibition will be held from May 20 to May 22, 2026 at the Chengdu Century City New International Exhibition Center. Positioned as a bridge between Western China and global water technology markets, CDWE focuses on professional trade exchange, technical communication and project matchmaking. Over nearly two decades of development, the exhibition has become a recognized annual meeting point for water utilities, engineering companies, technology suppliers and industrial users seeking access to the rapidly growing western regional market.

The thematic structure of CDWE 2026 reflects the core challenges of urban and industrial water management. Key focus areas include wastewater treatment, municipal water supply and drainage, smart water management systems, sponge city construction and terminal drinking water solutions. These topics are aligned with China’s ongoing urbanization, infrastructure upgrading and ecological protection strategies, especially in the western provinces. By covering both treatment technologies and digital water management, the exhibition enables participants to evaluate integrated solutions that combine engineering reliability, operational efficiency and data-driven control.

CDWE attracts a professional audience consisting of municipal water authorities, wastewater treatment plants, engineering and design institutes, industrial end users, and water technology suppliers. Exhibitors typically include manufacturers of treatment equipment, membrane technologies, pumps, valves, instrumentation and smart water systems. Visitors represent decision-makers involved in project planning, procurement and operation across municipal, industrial and agricultural water sectors. This concentrated professional profile supports efficient business communication, supplier qualification and long-term cooperation discussions focused on real project requirements.

The exhibition showcases a comprehensive range of products and technologies across the water industry chain. Exhibits include wastewater and sludge treatment equipment, membrane and filtration systems, pumps and valves, monitoring and control instruments, smart water platforms, urban drainage solutions and terminal drinking water equipment. By presenting both hardware and system-level solutions, CDWE allows buyers to assess technical compatibility, lifecycle performance and operational reliability. This structure is particularly valuable for projects requiring coordinated solutions across treatment, distribution and digital management.

CDWE 2026 will take place at the Chengdu Century City New International Exhibition Center, one of the largest and most modern exhibition venues in Western China. The venue offers suitable infrastructure for large-scale technical exhibitions, supporting equipment display, forums and high-density professional meetings. Its location in Chengdu enhances accessibility for participants from Sichuan and neighboring provinces, while also serving as a convenient entry point for international suppliers targeting Western China’s water and environmental markets.

The exhibition is jointly organized by Chengdu Xinzhonglian Exhibition Co., Ltd. in cooperation with Sichuan water industry associations and related professional organizations. The organizer positions CDWE as a market-oriented platform with strong local industry integration and international resource linkage. Through long-term cooperation with governmental bodies, engineering institutes and industry associations, CDWE has established a stable professional audience and a strong reputation as a practical business and technology exchange platform for the water sector in Western China.
