ABOUT THE FAIR
The China International Battery Fair (CIBF) is the world’s largest trade show dedicated to battery technology and energy storage solutions. Launched in 1994 by the China Industrial Association of Power Sources (CIAPS)—China’s leading industry association for electrochemical energy storage—it has been held every two years at the Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center in southern China.
As a globally significant platform, the CIBF regularly brings together professionals and exhibitors from a wide range of industries, including battery and automotive manufacturers, suppliers, energy companies, research institutions, and technology providers. The event impresses not only with its size and international scope but also with its in-depth focus and technological orientation. Key themes include the latest developments in lithium-ion and solid-state technology, energy storage solutions for electric mobility and stationary applications, innovative materials, manufacturing processes, measurement technology, and strategies for battery recycling as part of a sustainable value chain. Increasing emphasis is placed on environmentally friendly production methods and the efficient use of resources.
CIBF is more than just an exhibition—it is an innovation platform for global exchange. It fosters technological cooperation, enables international partnerships, and, through its accompanying technical conference, offers deep insights into current trends, scientific advancements, and regulatory frameworks. With its high-tech infrastructure and its role as a hub for electric mobility, Shenzhen is the ideal host city for this forward-looking event.
For professionals in the battery, automotive, energy, and electronics sectors, the CIBF is considered a must-attend industry event. Its combination of technical expertise, global networking opportunities, and regional innovation potential makes it a key event in a sector that plays a crucial role in the energy transition and the development of sustainable technologies.
Centrally located in the high-tech metropolis of Shenzhen, the Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center is easily accessible via subway and the nearby Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport, offering optimal conditions for this globally important trade fair.
The CIBF China International Battery Fair takes place biennially, and therefore for the 19th time previsibly in May 2028 in Shenzhen.
