Beijing, 8 September 2026 – Artificial intelligence will anchor the fifth Global Digital Trade Expo in Hangzhou as organisers position the event as a commercial marketplace rather than a technology showcase. Scheduled for 23 to 27 September, the expo will connect computing infrastructure, foundation models, applications and smart devices with international buyers and investment partners.

The event will occupy 170,000 square metres, with more than one-third of exhibitors focused on AI and overseas companies representing over 20% of the total. Representatives from 121 countries and regions and 29 international organisations are expected. Nearly 40,000 professional buyers have registered, including more than 12,000 from overseas, while anticipated international procurement orders total US$977 million.
