On May 20, the three-day 21st "China Optics Valley" International Optoelectronics Expo (referred to as "Optics Expo") concluded successfully at the Wuhan China Optics Valley Science and Technology Convention and Exhibition Center. With the theme of "Connecting Everything with Optics, Leading the Future with Intelligence", this exhibition has created a 20,000-square-meter exchange platform for the entire industry chain, bringing together 378 exhibitors to comprehensively demonstrate the innovation results of the entire chain of optoelectronic information from materials, devices to system integration. The exhibition attracted a total of 78,000 professional visitors from more than 80 countries and regions, including 1,397 overseas visitors, a record high. In terms of exhibition scale, exhibitor quality, number of visitors and international level, this optical expo has reached a new level, fully demonstrating the vitality and global influence of the optoelectronic information industry.
Leading leaders gathered for the first launch competition show, demonstrating the strength of optoelectronic innovation
This year's Optoelectronics Expo gathered 378 companies from 12 countries and regions to participate in the exhibition, showcasing cutting-edge technologies and innovative applications in the global optoelectronics field. Among them, there are 103 listed companies, specialized and new "little giants" and individual champion companies in the manufacturing industry. Leading companies such as YOFC Optical Fiber, China Information Technology, Fangxun Technology, Huagong Technology, Raycus Laser, Changyingtong, Dier Laser, Shengmei Semiconductor, Zhongke Optical Core, Amap Infrared, Airtac, etc. all appeared with large-area specially designed booths, presenting the industry with an annual event that combines high technology, commercial value and international perspective. At the same time, the "Light + AI" special exhibition area set up by the exhibition closely follows the main line of "Optoelectronics creates a hard-core base for AI, and AI empowers diverse applications of optoelectronics", focusing on displaying the world's first and nationally leading results of the integration of optoelectronics information and AI. From three-dimensional visual perception that empowers embodied intelligence to high-speed optical modules that break through computing power bottlenecks, from new-generation optical storage that subverts the storage paradigm to storage-computing integrated chips that reconstruct computing boundaries, this exhibition area presents a panoramic view of the deep integration of optoelectronics and AI.
In terms of first launch and first exhibition, 50 companies came on stage with more than 100 "first launch and first exhibition" products, and 8 were finally selected to be released at the opening ceremony, including: the world's first 6.4T silicon photonic single-mode NPO module for AI computing power clusters, a short-wave infrared camera-type beam profiler that fills the international technology gap, SWLP8μm infrared detector that breaks through the core bottleneck of civilian infrared thermal imaging integration, and creates high-speed and long-distance The 800G transoceanic ultra-large capacity transmission system that sets a new record for transoceanic optical transmission, 12.8TXPO that leads the next generation of ultra-high density pluggable optical interconnection standards, the LD directly pumped near-fundamental mode 10,000-watt fiber laser that fills the gap in international single-mode 10,000-watt fiber laser technology, the new bait-mirror co-doped fiber that sets the performance benchmark for single-mode fiber lasers, and the TEC temperature control chip that enables independent control of my country's high-end temperature control chips. These achievements not only demonstrate Wuhan's leading position as the source of national optoelectronics technology, but also demonstrate my country's original innovation capabilities and industrial competitiveness in the global optoelectronics field.
The size of the audience has grown significantly, and the international level has jumped up. What is particularly exciting is that the total number of visitors and the number of international visitors at this exhibition have achieved strong growth. 78,000 professional buyers, purchasers and industry leaders from more than 80 countries and regions around the world gathered in Optics Valley for on-site business negotiations.
Talk about being active. The international level of Wuhan Optical Expo 2026 has reached a new level, attracting 1,397 overseas purchasers to visit; including European and American Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Vietnam Radio and Electronics Association, Indonesian National Information and Communication Technology Business Association, Asia-Pacific Trade Association, Nepal Robot Association, Indian Robotics and Automation Council and other international organization groups visited, successfully building a bridge for global technology exchanges and business cooperation, fully demonstrating the international influence of Wuhan Optical Expo.
