Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC)

IE expo originated from the Shanghai International Environmental Protection and Water Exhibition (EPTEE), founded in 2000, and IFAT CHINA, which entered China in 2004. (The parent exhibition, IFAT, was founded in Munich in 1966 and is one of the world's largest and most influential environmental exhibitions.) In 2010, the two major exhibitions merged and became "IE expo".As the environmental industry event held in China under the umbrella of  IFAT, IE expo, held annually in Shanghai, has been deeply rooted in China's environmental protection industry for 26 years and has grown into the world's second-largest environmental exhibition after IFAT. It is a large-scale environmental exhibition in Asia that integrates business negotiations, technical exchanges, market development, brand marketing, trend releases, and international cooperation. Meanwhile, IE expo expanded to South China in 2015 and West China in 2019, forming a spatial layout of three exhibitions in three locations (Shanghai, Chengdu, and Guangzhou/Shenzhen) every year. Leveraging the locational advantages of each region, the exhibition's influence will span Asia, injecting a continuous stream of endogenous momentum into the development of environmental protection companies.

IE expo 2026, which will be held from April 13 to 15, 2026, will focus on the theme of "Connecting Global Opportunities, Exploring Emerging Momentum", focusing on industry hotspots such as environmental protection resource utilization, recycling, low carbonization, high value, specialization, digitalization, and going global. It will introduce more application technology solutions in vertical fields, present the technological innovation and transformation and upgrading of the entire low-carbon and environmental protection industry chain, and draw a blueprint for the future of the environmental protection industry with colleagues in the industry.
