Three New Feature Areas Debut in Shenzhen
Optical Modules Manufacturing Process Demo Zone
With the global optical module market projected by Lightcounting to reach $28–30 billion in 2026 – and China’s segment growing at 30–35% year-over-year – the show introduces a dedicated zone combining live process demonstrations, industry forums, and precision business matching. Focused on 800G, 1.6T, and 3.2T high-speed optical modules, the zone covers COB packaging, module assembly, and testing/aging processes, featuring specialized equipment, core materials, and complete production line solutions. The concurrent 2026 Advanced Optical Communication Manufacturing Technology Innovation Summit will address production bottlenecks, technology roadmaps, localization, and commercialization, with representatives from leading module manufacturers, equipment and material suppliers, and optical chip companies.
Embodied Intelligence
According to IDC, China’s embodied intelligence robotics market is expected to exceed $11 billion. ROBOTECH 2026 provides a comprehensive view of the robotics supply chain and finished systems, accelerating industrial adoption. The concurrent forums will bring together industry leaders and academics to discuss motion control, core components, and innovative applications in electronics manufacturing.
