ABOUT THE FAIR
Founded in 1983, MICONEX is an internationally recognized trade fair for measurement, control, and automation technology. It has established itself as a key platform for technological innovation and industrial intelligence. The name MICONEX stands for "Multinational Instrumentation Exhibition," emphasizing the event’s global scope as a central meeting point for professionals and decision-makers in measurement and automation technologies.
The event takes place at the state-of-the-art Century City New International Convention & Exhibition Center (CCNICEC) in Chengdu—a city that has emerged as a major technological hub in Western China. With its robust infrastructure and excellent international connectivity, Chengdu offers ideal conditions for hosting an event of this scale. MICONEX is held annually and focuses on the latest developments in industrial automation, smart manufacturing, process and laboratory analytics, measurement technology, and integrated IoT solutions.
The exhibition is organized by the China Instrument and Control Society (CIS), a leading institution dedicated to advancing technological excellence within China and beyond. MICONEX is more than just a product showcase—it serves as a driving force for industry-specific solutions, a platform for knowledge exchange, and a high-level networking forum.
Its broad thematic scope includes industrial software, communication technology, spectroscopy, image analysis, artificial intelligence, robotics, calibration and testing technologies, as well as specialized laboratory equipment and component-based manufacturing solutions. The exhibition features cutting-edge sensors, analytical instruments, automation systems, and industrial components that bridge the gap between traditional engineering and connected technologies of the future.
Exhibitors represent a wide range of industries, including electronics, mechanical engineering, energy, chemicals, metallurgy, and petrochemicals. They present solutions relevant to both start-ups and globally operating enterprises. The audience mainly consists of decision-makers, engineers, developers, and procurement professionals who are actively seeking investment and collaboration opportunities.
Chengdu plays a key role not only as the host city, but also as a symbol of China’s strategic focus on innovation, smart industry, and international cooperation. MICONEX ranks among the country’s most significant industrial trade fairs and stands out due to its technological depth and global orientation.
The event is complemented by expert forums, keynote presentations, matchmaking events, and delegation visits from research institutions, universities, and industrial clusters. These formats promote knowledge transfer and high-level networking across sectors. With its modern architecture and excellent transport links—by rail and via the nearby airport—the CCNICEC provides the perfect setting for an event that connects technological vision with real-world industrial applications.
The Miconex takes place annually, and therefore for the thirty-third time previsibly in August 2026 in Chengdu.
