On June 24, the preparatory meeting for the 2026 Consumer Electronics Innovation Conference (CEIC 2026) was held at the Shenzhen Civic Center. This meeting brought together innovative enterprises from cutting-edge fields such as communications, semiconductors, embodied intelligence, digital health, low-altitude economy, and ultra-high-definition audio-visual technology, as well as representatives from international standards and industry organizations. The participants engaged in in-depth discussions on four core topics: industry trend forecasting, implementation of new technology ecosystems, establishment of sub-forum systems, and design of special activities. All parties reached a consensus on unified actions regarding new trends in the consumer electronics industry driven comprehensively by artificial intelligence. Enterprise representatives shared insightful views based on their respective technical commercialization practices, providing practical foundations for the top-level planning and content implementation of CEIC, this annual innovation event.

Sun Huaqing, Deputy Director of the International Economic and Technical Cooperation Center under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, pointed out that China's consumer electronics industry urgently needs to establish a high-end, world-class industry event with local roots, and CEIC is one of the bearers of this mission. He emphasized that CEIC should continue to focus on innovation technology, the integration of standards, and the co-construction of ecosystems. Starting with "small but refined" and "small but beautiful" initiatives, it should create high-quality events, foster industry consensus, and encourage core members to continuously provide new ideas and perspectives. Together, they should showcase new products and achievements on the CEIC platform and tell China's story of innovation in consumer electronics.

Yang Tao, Executive Deputy Director of the CEIC Organizing Committee, presided over the meeting and stated that artificial intelligence has become the unified core theme of global consumer electronics exhibitions in 2026. Leveraging Shenzhen's complete electronics industry cluster, CEIC is positioned at the core of "a new generation of foundational technologies," establishing a full-chain exhibition system that spans from chips, operating systems, and new materials to end products and scenario-based services.

Fan Chen, Vice President of Fourier, noted that the company has already provided robotic technology services to over 2,000 hospitals and institutions worldwide, along with one-stop application solutions covering product deployment, professional training, and department operations. He mentioned that CEIC 2026 will host dedicated parallel forums, connecting enterprises in robotics, smart homes, and digital health to create comprehensive scenario demonstrations. This platform is crucial for the transition of embodied rehabilitation technologies from the laboratory to large-scale commercialization.

Hu Bin, Director of iFLYTEK's Government and Enterprise Division, pointed out that the company has undertaken the construction of the National Key Laboratory of Cognitive Intelligence. The iFLYTEK Hearing series of products have already served major projects such as the National Two Sessions and China National Petroleum Corporation. In the future, the company will rely on general AI to create a multi-language, multi-modal smart office entry point.

Li Niejun, CMO of Zero Gravity Aircraft Industry, stated that the company is currently the only domestic enterprise in China that simultaneously develops both eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft) and eCTOL (electric fixed-wing aircraft) as part of its new energy manned aircraft program. The company is collaborating with local governments to advance the construction of "green aviation flight camps," planning to accumulate operational data from low-altitude cultural and tourism scenarios and gradually extend its applications to urban public transportation and other fields. He believes that the establishment of the Low-Altitude Economy Exhibition Zone at CEIC 2026 provides an important platform for low-altitude enterprises to showcase their products to consumers and connect with the industrial ecosystem, which will help accelerate the transition of low-altitude flight from a closed pilot phase to the mass consumer market.

Zhang Wengang, Secretary-General of the World Ultra-High Definition Video Industry Alliance (UWA), stated that the UWA has consistently driven industry development through innovation, which aligns closely with the theme of CEIC's "Love Innovation, Infinite Intelligence." The Vivid technology has been adopted by international standards organizations such as ITU. In the automotive sector, large-scale commercial applications have been achieved, with over two million new energy vehicles equipped with Vivid technology expected to be shipped to date. Additionally, ultra-high-definition channels and set-top box procurement have been implemented on a large scale. Looking ahead to 2030, the ultra-high-definition industry is projected to reach a market space of 7.8 trillion yuan. The UWA will use innovation as its engine and intelligence as its bridge, bringing its latest achievements to deeply participate in CEIC 2026 and promote its proprietary audio and video standards to global leadership.

During the in-depth discussion session, representatives from participating companies reached several consensuses regarding the exhibition strategy, industry collaboration, and platform development for CEIC 2026.

At the level of exhibition strategy, the representatives suggested that CEIC should integrate along the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. This approach not only helps corporate leaders gain a comprehensive understanding of the industry but also enhances the overall value of participation. Additionally, it is recommended to explore the potential for collaboration between enterprises and align with production, manufacturing, and future application needs.

At the level of industry collaboration and platform development, the representatives proposed that CEIC should promote deep synergy between standards organizations and the industry, providing innovation-driven enterprises with a showcase platform and opportunities for expansion. Furthermore, it is advised to actively attract overseas companies to launch their products in China for the first time, fully demonstrating the scale and vitality of China's consumer electronics market and effectively helping companies achieve commercial success and growth.

This conference has clarified the theme of CEIC 2026 and the full series of event matrices, establishing a four-in-one event framework comprising "exhibitions and displays + thematic summits + parallel forums + industry networking."

CEIC 2026 will be grounded in foundational technologies, focusing on five major infrastructure sectors: semiconductor chips, computing power, operating systems, new networks, and green sustainability, to promote innovative consumer electronics technologies to the global market.

Currently, the registration channels for corporate participation are fully open, with the deadline for registration set for September 5, 2026. Companies can complete their exhibition and sponsorship inquiries through the official website, phone, or email.
