IOTE 2025 Shanghai — Enabling the Digital Future with Smart and Connected Technologies

500+ exhibitors, 40,000+ attendees, 50,000 sqm exhibition space, full supply chain coverage

IOTE 2025 Shanghai will host over 500 companies covering every link in the IoT value chain — from chipset and sensor suppliers to cloud platforms and integration services. The event spans 50,000 square meters and is structured into specialized pavilions focused on key verticals: industrial automation, urban infrastructure, smart homes and buildings, supply chain optimization, and cloud-edge integration. Visitors will include representatives from logistics firms, smart city offices, energy service providers, retail chains, OEMs, and enterprise software developers. More than 30 technical conferences and product release events will be held concurrently, covering subjects like edge analytics, device interoperability, 5G communication for industrial networks, and AI-based predictive maintenance. The show enables face-to-face interactions with global suppliers, makes it easy to compare multiple technologies side-by-side, and gives procurement professionals real insight into the direction of smart systems development. IOTE Shanghai continues to serve as a vital platform for China’s fast-growing smart infrastructure economy and global partners seeking entry into the Asian IoT market.

RFID, IIoT, sensor networks, 5G, cloud & edge platforms, smart cities, building automation, data security

IOTE 2025 Shanghai presents a broad set of industry-relevant themes, each anchored in practical implementations.
RFID and digital identification solutions will cover UHF/NFC tags, tracking systems, real-time locating systems (RTLS), anti-counterfeit labeling, and automated inventory.
Industrial IoT topics include real-time condition monitoring, SCADA integration, MES/ERP data sync, machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, and digital twin use cases for predictive maintenance.
Sensor networks will feature temperature, motion, vibration, air quality, gas leakage, fluid flow, and structural load sensors for critical applications.
5G/LPWAN technologies (LoRa, NB-IoT, LTE-M) will power advanced logistics visibility and energy-efficient monitoring.
Smart cities and infrastructure sections will present intelligent lighting, traffic flow systems, environmental management, and public safety monitoring.
Smart buildings and retail exhibits include access control, occupancy detection, HVAC regulation, shelf tracking, ESL systems, and energy optimization.
Edge and cloud computing solutions are focused on reducing latency and network load through local analytics, edge servers, and hybrid architectures.
Cybersecurity and data protection technologies such as identity management, secured device onboarding, network encryption, and compliance with national data laws will also be highlighted.
Each theme is reinforced by live demonstrations, showcasing interoperability and deployment scenarios that reflect real business needs.

Hardware vendors, system integrators, software platforms, logistics firms, smart city planners, infrastructure developers

The participant base of IOTE 2025 Shanghai spans hardware, software, systems, and service providers. Exhibitors include companies developing wireless communication modules (NB-IoT, LoRa, BLE, 5G), sensor chipsets, RFID printers and readers, AI-powered embedded systems, and edge processing units. System integrators will present verticalized IoT deployments in manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, and city governance. Visitors will find partners offering cloud-native platforms, middleware solutions, and mobile app interfaces that enable real-time control and visibility across distributed assets. Public sector officials and urban infrastructure agencies will attend to evaluate options for traffic management, waste processing, and public safety systems. Corporate IT buyers and solution architects will gain access to customizable solutions for retrofitting legacy equipment or building greenfield networks. A strong presence of startups and global technology partners ensures exposure to emerging trends such as ultra-low power edge AI, real-time video analysis, digital twinning for public utilities, and multi-protocol data aggregation. Whether upgrading warehouse automation, rolling out smart meters, or piloting next-gen mobility, attendees at IOTE will discover comprehensive solutions from planning to deployment.
