CEIC 2026 Preparatory Meeting Held in Shenzhen: Innovative Enterprise Representatives Jointly Define New Trends in Consumer Electronics
On June 24, the preparatory meeting for the Consumer Electronics Innovation Congress 2026 (CEIC 2026) was held at the Shenzhen Civic Center. This meeting gathered innovative enterprises from frontier tracks such as communications, semiconductors, embodied intelligence, digital health, the low-altitude economy, and ultra-high-definition (UHD) audio-visual sectors, alongside representatives from international standards and industry organizations. The participants engaged in in-depth discussions centered on four core agenda items: predicting industry trends, deploying new technology ecosystems, constructing the sub-forum matrix, and designing featured activities. All participating parties reached a unified consensus on actions regarding new trends in the consumer electronics industry fully driven by artificial intelligence. Corporate representatives shared profound insights from their respective technological commercialization practices, providing actionable alignment for the top-level planning and content deployment of CEIC as an annual innovation grand event.
Sun Huaqing, Deputy Director of the International Economic and Technical Cooperation Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, pointed out that China's consumer electronics industry urgently needs to build a homegrown, high-end, world-class industry event, and CEIC is one of the carriers of this mission. He emphasized that CEIC must continue to deeply cultivate innovative technologies, standards integration, and ecosystem co-construction. Starting from "small yet refined" and "small yet beautiful" approaches, it should craft premium activities and consolidate industry consensus. He expressed hope that core members would continuously provide new ideas and viewpoints, jointly showcase new products and achievements on the CEIC platform, and effectively tell the story of China's consumer electronics innovation.

Fan Chen, Vice President of Fourier, stated that the company currently provides robotic technology services and one-stop application solutions—ranging from product deployment and professional training to department operations—to more than 2,000 hospitals and institutions worldwide. He noted that CEIC 2026 will set up dedicated parallel forums, linking robotics, smart home, and digital health enterprises to create complete scenario demonstrations, which serves as a critical platform for embodied healthcare and elderly care technologies to move from laboratories to large-scale commercialization.
Hu Bin, Government and Enterprise Director of iFLYTEK, pointed out that the company hosts the State Key Laboratory of Cognitive Intelligence. The iFLYTEK Hearing series of products has already served major events such as the National People's Congress (NPC) and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) sessions, as well as significant projects like PetroChina. Looking ahead, it will rely on general AI to construct a multilingual, multi-modal smart office portal.
Li Niejun, CMO of Aerofugia (Zero-G Aircraft Industry), stated that the company is currently the only domestic complete aircraft R&D and manufacturing enterprise that simultaneously deploys dual routes for both eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft) and eCTOL (electric conventional takeoff and landing airplanes). The company is working with local governments to promote the construction of "Green Aviation Flight Camps," planning to accumulate operational data from low-altitude cultural tourism scenarios and gradually extend into application fields such as urban public transportation. He believes that the low-altitude economy exhibition area established at CEIC 2026 provides low-altitude enterprises with a vital platform for consumer-facing showcases and industrial ecosystem matchmaking, helping to accelerate low-altitude flight from closed pilot stages to the mass consumer market.
Zhang Wengang, Secretary-General of the World Ultra HD Video Industry Alliance (UWA), stated that the UWA Alliance has always driven industrial development through innovation, which highly aligns with CEIC's theme of "Love Innovation, Infinite Intelligence." The Audio & Video Vivid technology has been adopted by international standards such as the ITU. In terms of large-scale in-vehicle commercialization, as of now, the shipment volume of new energy vehicles equipped with Audio & Video Vivid technology is expected to exceed two million units; centralized procurement of UHD channels and set-top boxes has achieved large-scale deployment. Facing a 7.8-trillion-yuan industry space for UHD by 2030, the UWA Alliance will take innovation as the engine and intelligence as the bond to deeply participate in CEIC 2026 with its latest achievements, promoting autonomous audio and video standards toward global leadership.
During the in-depth discussion segment, participating corporate representatives reached multiple agreements on the exhibition strategies, industrial cooperation, and platform construction of CEIC 2026.
In terms of exhibition strategies, representatives suggested that CEIC should integrate the upstream and downstream segments of the industry chain. This will not only help corporate leaders grasp the full picture of the industry but also enhance the overall value of attendance. Concurrently, it will unlock cooperative synergies among enterprises to adapt to manufacturing and future application needs.
In terms of industrial cooperation and platform construction, representatives proposed that CEIC should promote deep synergy between standards organizations and industries, providing a showcase window and expansion opportunities for innovative enterprises. Meanwhile, it should actively attract overseas enterprises to debut their products in China, fully demonstrating the scale and vitality of the Chinese consumer electronics market, and practically helping enterprises achieve commercial success and growth.
The meeting clarified the theme and the full series of activity matrices for CEIC 2026, forming a "four-in-one" activity architecture consisting of "Exhibitions & Showcases + Keynote Summits + Parallel Forums + Industrial Networking."
