2025 CIBF's "Circle of Friends" Expands Again

The 17th CIBF, hosted by the China Industrial Association of Power Sources (CIAPS), will kick off at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center.

The organizing committee has received a series of good news: buyers, scientific researchers, and corporate decision-makers from 18 countries and regions will gather in Shenzhen. Over 400,000 domestic and international visitors have registered to attend, with 300,000 m² of exhibition space and over 3,000 exhibitors—CIBF2025 is set to break records in scale.

In recent years, CIBF has grown larger and better, continuously attracting global wisdom in new energy to converge here, and also drawing more and more like-minded peers to join the journey...

Walking with Partners

CIBF2025, in collaboration with multiple institutions including the Tianjin Institute of New Energy, the Society of Automotive Engineers of China, and the China Automotive Engineering Research Institute Co., Ltd., has invited numerous academicians, experts, and scholars to deliver a series of exciting academic reports and keynote speeches.

During the event, attendees will explore global progress in lithium battery research through multi-dimensional discussions and propose common challenges facing current research in lithium battery and new energy.

The relevant person in charge stated that batteries, as the "heart" of new energy vehicles, humanoid robots, electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, and more, will further enrich their product lineup in the future, ushering in broader development prospects. Battery technology is not only an "enabler" for existing industries but also a "definer" for future industries.

Walking with New Energy Enterprises

This globally renowned exhibition, covering 300,000 m² and bringing together 3,000 exhibitors, will showcase green innovation achievements across all links of the industry chain, from upstream raw materials to end-use applications, and from power batteries to energy storage systems.

The full opening of Halls 1 to 14 and Hall 16 resembles a vast industrial map, connecting every link from mining and materials to intelligent manufacturing. Top-tier enterprises such as CATL and BYD's lithium battery division, in addition to presenting green carbon reduction solutions, will also showcase the ultimate performance of power batteries. Material giants like Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt and Minmetals aim to break down cost barriers through "molecular-level innovation." Equipment exhibitors such as Lead Intelligent Equipment and KATOP will demonstrate the possibilities of "zero-carbon manufacturing" through intelligent production lines.

More and more new energy enterprises are responding to CIBF's call and eagerly attending:

Ye Zhengping, General Manager of the Brand Department at Wuxi Lead Intelligent Equipment:"CIBF is an important platform for us to showcase our brand's technological strength and innovative solutions. This time, we have brought our latest solutions. Through CIBF, we have gained numerous business opportunities and met many partners, making significant contributions to the development of our business." (Will you come again next year?) Absolutely, we will.

Chen Kai, Chairman of Tenpower: We will participate in CIBF as a "long-term strategy." Its impact extends far beyond the exposure and trading volume generated during the few days of the exhibition; it serves as a guide for the industry's direction.

Chen Yaping, General Manager of Shanghai Changai Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.: Changai has participated in CIBF for multiple consecutive sessions. Through these exhibitions, we have witnessed and participated in the leapfrog development of China's new energy industry, particularly in areas such as battery technology innovation and energy storage system upgrades, where market demand is rapidly evolving.

Old friends arrive as scheduled, and new friends flock in. CIBF's "circle of friends" is growing larger. It includes not only multinational large enterprises but also small and medium-sized enterprises, with both "old friends" who have long been deeply rooted in the Chinese market and "new faces" who have traveled far specifically for CIBF... From developing countries to developed nations, from small businesses to multinational corporations, the Chinese market exudes strong appeal.

Old friends introducing new ones have contributed to the continuously rising "popularity of CIBF."

From material innovation to equipment upgrades, from international collaboration to local innovation, CIBF is like a prism, reflecting the diverse aspects of China's battery industry—both a practitioner of national strategies and a leader in global technological trends.

On the grand chessboard of the global economic landscape, new energy shines with endless charm and opportunities. On the stage of CIBF, the old and the new converge, nurturing technological innovation, market potential, and development vitality, while also helping the Chinese market unleash greater appeal.

With spring in the air and the scenery bright, CIBF once again extends an "invitation" to the world, sharing new opportunities with "old friends and new."
