Shenzhen, 13 Oct 2026: SCMFair strengthens support for international industry participants on the global supply chain exhibition platform by focusing on artificial intelligence (AI) and smart logistics solutions.
AI-powered supply chain management, smart warehousing, logistics technology, automation and digital management solutions are highlighted as part of the integration of intelligent and connected AI technology with the overall transportation, delivery and storage workflows. The Asia transport exhibition coincides with rapid industry transformation observed in the global logistics industry in light of new technological advancements.
What Did it Offer This Time?
The platform offers an opportunity to test the waters in one concentrated market space. Connects industry end-users with supply chain technology providers.
China (Shenzhen) International Logistics and Supply Chain Fair (CILF), or Asia logistic conference, has become a key worldwide platform connecting key industry players in logistics and supply chain service delivery, port and shipping, air freight, road and rail transport, cross-border e-commerce logistics, logistics equipment, intelligent logistics, information systems, robotics, autonomous vehicles and related technology and solutions.
CILF 2025 drew 2,208 exhibitors from 61 countries and regions, as well as 305,000 visitors from 89 countries and regions. It also hosted more than 70 simultaneous activities.
The Size and Scope of the Project
A strategic starting point for business engagement with AI. To demonstrate CILF's support for the industry, the 2025 programme includes “AI-enabled supply chain management, autonomous driving, green logistics solutions and others”.
The Asia logistic conference provides a good indication of how companies interested in the application of AI-enabled supply chain management could benefit from being able to test solutions, such as driverless technology and smart warehousing, in the broader context of AI solutions in the larger logistics industry.
“AI helps inform decision-making with data analysis, demand planning, inventory and storage planning, route planning and more, but it must be integrated into the broader operational workflows, infrastructure and commercial context of the given enterprise and used to inform decisions,” as per a company spokesperson.
It is through exhibition activities that industry professionals can experience solutions and interact with those providers.
Industry Network-Building in Multiple Market Contexts
Well-targeted industry matchmaking is another key aspect of the value that CILF can provide. The event assembles logistics providers, cargo owners, freight forwarders, logistics solutions providers, equipment manufacturers and other key industry participants through direct and remote market-matching sessions to foster demand-supply connections.
There are also dedicated matchmaking sections on certain markets such as Europe and North America, Southeast Asia, South Korea and Japan, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, overseas warehousing, cross-border e-commerce logistics and new/emerging markets. Therefore, the Asia transport exhibition provides insights into each regional market and the needs of different enterprise types.
Complementary Innovation with the Wider System
The evolution and adoption of AI in the logistics industry is not by itself – instead, integrated software, automation, robotics, intelligent equipment, digital ecosystems and data systems are increasingly becoming part of the modern logistics infrastructure.
The exhibition categories cover the wider intelligent logistics ecosystem, including all of the aforementioned elements. Visitors to the Asia logistic conference can see solutions both individually and together in ecosystem-style exhibition areas.
