As a core region for refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment manufacturing in China, Shandong not only boasts the nation's leading ownership volume of refrigeration and air-conditioning systems, but also has become a key demand area in the field of refrigeration, air-conditioning and cold chain equipment, driven by strong market demand. At a time when green and low-carbon transition has become a core proposition for industrial development, the rapid growth of Shandong's refrigeration, air-conditioning and cold chain logistics industries has laid a crucial foundation for the sector to explore sustainable development paths.
In recent years, China's refrigeration equipment manufacturing industry has accelerated its transformation and upgrading, with continuous surge in innovation momentum. In the cold chain logistics field, the facilities and equipment have been constantly improved, and service capabilities have been steadily enhanced. Additionally, governments at all levels have intensively introduced support policies, injecting strong impetus into industrial development. Under the superposition of multiple favorable factors, China's refrigeration, air-conditioning and cold chain logistics industries have ushered in a dual development opportunity featuring "policy support + demand-driven", with market potential and industrial vitality fully unleashed.
Under this context, the "6th Shandong International Expo on Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, Ventilation and Cold Chain Industry" will grandly kick off from April 27 to 29, 2026 at Shandong International Convention and Exhibition Center (Huaiyin District, Jinan City).
This year’s expo will reach a new height in scale, with an expected exhibition area of 60,000 square meters. It will gather over 900 high-quality exhibitors and attract more than 70,000 professional visitor person-times.
The expo will focus on domestic and international market opportunities and cutting-edge technologies, realizing the in-depth integration of technical seminars and market exchanges. It will fully build a three-dimensional, high-quality platform for business and cultural exchanges, and concentrate on displaying the innovation achievements in production, education and research within the industry, such as new technologies, new processes, new materials, new products and new equipment.
It will help achieve accurate connection between upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, promote the rapid and orderly development of China’s refrigeration, air conditioning and cold chain industry, and strive to build a more cohesive and competitive industrial chain and ecosystem for China’s refrigeration and air conditioning industry.
