German technology group Bosch is also showcasing physical artificial intelligence applications, smart mobility and energy-efficient home technologies at the expo, highlighting China's growing role as a global hub for industrial innovation and advanced manufacturing.

　　Xu Daquan, president of Bosch China, said that China's open and dynamic market creates opportunities for companies operating in the country to grow and innovate.

　　"At the same time, China is an important source of innovation for Bosch globally. The innovations we develop here are shared across our global R&D, manufacturing and delivery network and brought to other markets as demand evolves," he added.

　　Alongside its latest product offerings, the German firm has been expanding cooperation with Chinese automakers — including Chery and Geely — to bring advanced driver assistance technologies to markets overseas, connecting China's innovation capabilities with its global engineering and manufacturing network.

　　As this year's CIIE takes place in the first year of China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30), Ji Wenhua, a professor of economics at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, said the country's vast domestic market and policy priorities — including technological innovation, boosting domestic demand, green transition and further opening-up — will drive substantial growth across industries worldwide.

　　Beyond industrial manufacturing, agritech is also emerging as a key area of innovation and international cooperation at the CIIE. Switzerland-based Syngenta Group is showcasing AI-assisted crop breeding, biological crop protection solutions and progress at its two research and technology innovation centers in Shanghai and Hefei, Anhui province.
