Automechanika Shanghai: Shenzhen Edition puts technological innovation at centre stage

23.01.2023

In accord, 3,500 exhibitors offer a first-hand gateway into the market by pulling in resources that amplify home-grown inventions and overseas capabilities in production and aftermarket solutions.

To prepare for strong collaborative opportunities in the year ahead, the 17th edition will take place at the centre of China’s innovation capital in the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center, from 15 to 18 February 2023.

Ms Fiona Chiew, general manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, highlighted: “I am confident that resources in areas like the Innovation4Mobility Showcase offer the right conditions to stimulate international trade and global business exchange to advance the industry as a whole. The show is championing innovation from overseas and domestic exhibitors up and down the supply chain, and many are signalling that their solutions can make cars smarter, more fuel-efficient, more connected and even driverless. Therefore, we plan to draw attention to visionaries advancing the automotive industry.”

For example, Automechanika Shanghai will house winning technologies from last year’s Automechanika Innovation Awards. The show will feature Autel’s prized MaxiCharger DC fast charging station from the E-Mobility category, as well as Celette’s Electronic Car Body Measurement System, which took the top spot in the Body & Paint category.

Home-grown innovators gather momentum
For some time now, technological advancements and shifting supply patterns have been the main drivers of transformation in the global automotive industry. “The influence of electrification, intelligence, connectivity and sharing has sparked a catalyst of movement in the automotive manufacturing sector,” noted Ms Li Zhang, general manager of China National Machinery Industry International Co Ltd. She added, “From this direction, China’s supply chain, in particular, has seen a rise of high-quality local manufacturers with breakthrough core vehicle technologies. This is helping to raise China’s status on the global stage. Therefore, we believe the show in February will paint a broad picture of the whole industry and shine a light on China’s key market movers.”

The forum area, product showcase, networking lounge and start-up arena at the Innovation4Mobility Mainstage create an all-inclusive backdrop for promoting advanced hardware and software across the supply chain.
