2026 Shanghai International Smart Port Construction Conference and Port Technology Equipment Exhibition

Currently, the global trade landscape is undergoing profound changes, and digital technology is reshaping the international trade chain at an unprecedented speed. In this context, the General Administration of Customs of China has taken the lead in proposing the "Smart Customs" strategic blueprint, with the goal of "seamless customs clearance, intelligent supervision, no disturbance, and ubiquitous". According to the plan, China will establish the basic framework of smart customs by 2026 and form a complete system by 2029. This process is not only the core engine for enhancing national security and trade convenience, but also the key support for serving the country's high-level opening up and empowering high-quality development of foreign trade.

As the world's largest trade hub, Shanghai Port will surpass 11.31 trillion yuan in total goods trade by 2025, ranking first among global cities for several consecutive years. As a pioneer in digital empowerment, Shanghai is one of the first pilot cities for smart ports in China. Through technologies such as blockchain and artificial intelligence, it promotes the efficiency of customs clearance and creates a benchmark model of "smart customs, smart borders, and smart connectivity". 2026, as a milestone year for the implementation of the basic framework of smart customs, is of great significance. At this critical juncture, the "2026 Shanghai International Smart Port Construction Conference and Port Technology Equipment Exhibition" emerged in response to the situation. This conference will focus on three core tasks: process optimization, information exchange, and system integration. It will bring together policy makers, technology pioneers, and industry leaders to deeply explore the integration and innovation of technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and blockchain with customs business, share the best practices of global smart ports, and discuss standardization construction and cross domain collaboration paths.

We look forward to accelerating the transformation of technological breakthroughs into institutional innovation through this platform, contributing wisdom to China's creation of an "ubiquitous" intelligent regulatory ecosystem, and providing a "Chinese solution" for global trade facilitation.
