　　02. Six highlights highlight the centripetal force, cohesion, and service capability of the educational decoration exhibition

　　Highlight 1: Original new products are launched in a concentrated manner, and artificial intelligence achieves full scene penetration.

In similar exhibitions, it is not uncommon for exhibits with similar functions and appearances to follow the trend. It is difficult for buyers to choose the type, and there is serious competition in the industry for low prices. Some even criticize that many companies' products have problems of plagiarism, simply changing colors and shells to produce. During the on-site visits to major exhibition halls, the reporter found that the top enterprises participating in this year's Education Decoration Exhibition focused on independent innovation, with a large number of new equipment, self-developed systems, and integrated solutions making their first public appearance. Over a hundred new products were launched globally/nationally, focusing on future education scenarios and reconstructing the industry ecology with original technology.

In addition to hardware, new software products such as campus mental health screening platform and cross modal virtual simulation teaching and research system have also been launched simultaneously.

The common feature of these new products is the full scenario penetration of artificial intelligence, truly moving from concept demonstration to teaching practice. AI deeply covers the entire teaching process of "preparation, teaching, practice, testing, evaluation, and management", including AI teaching assistants, intelligent grading, virtual simulation experiments, and embodied intelligencerobotBy showcasing the application effects of products in teaching, we aim to promote the upgrading of educational equipment from toolization to intelligence. A procurement staff member from a private education group stated that "the first new products of participating companies this year are in line with the future 3— — 5-year school upgrade demand, strong originality and high practicality. ”At the educational exhibition, many education bureau directors and primary and secondary school principals gathered in front of the booth, attentively listening to the explanations of enterprise technicians. They expressed that what they most wanted to know was how artificial intelligence is applied in the field of education, to what extent it is applied, and how it can change the path and methods of education and teaching. The educational decoration exhibition undoubtedly opened a "real-life window" for them to gain insight into the future of education. Here, abstract algorithms have become the warmth of individualized teaching, allowing every decision maker to see the real possibility of large-scale implementation of artificial intelligence in the core teaching process, and also strengthening confidence in using technology to promote educational equity.

Independent innovation is not only the highlight of products, but also the foundation of the industry. Data shows that compared to the previous edition of the Education Decoration Exhibition, the total number of patents held by participating companies has doubled. 68% of the companies have independent intellectual property rights, and key areas such as AI education algorithms, virtual simulation experiment cores, and education innovation bases have achieved independent and controllable capabilities. The phrase 'breaking through internal competition with innovation and setting benchmarks with originality' has been fully confirmed at this year's educational equipment exhibition. The reporter noticed that China's education equipment industry is accelerating its shift towards independent innovation, and this year's Education Equipment Exhibition is a vivid epitome of this process.

On February 25, 2026, the Ministry of Education held a meeting to deepen the implementation of the "health first" work deployment, comprehensively deploying and promoting the physical and mental health of students. In this context, the education industry needs to address a fundamental challenge: how to accurately see and respond to students' physical and mental needs. At this year's Education Equipment Exhibition, Honghe Technology Co., Ltd. presented the first Honghe Intelligent Eye Emotion AI Vertical Classification Model, providing a solution to this problem. Honghe Zhitong utilizes AI visual emotion recognition big model, multimodal perception, and deep analysis technology architecture to achieve dual visualization of students' emotions and behaviors through intelligent cameras deployed on classroom all-in-one machines and learning machine terminals, fully reflecting the details of empowering education with technology.

Physical and mental health is not only about mental health, but also about improving physical fitness. Under the concept of "health first", AI sports have become a major highlight of this year's educational equipment exhibition. At the booth of Sichuan Zhongsen Tongyue Technology Co., Ltd., a unique physical education class attracted a large audience. This class did not have a physical education teacher blowing the whistle or manually recording grades. Students stood at designated points on the ground and followed the on-screen instructions to perform squat and vertical jump training. The AI system accurately captures the motion trajectory of each student, automatically completes counting, and determines the quality of motion completion in real time. AI turns physical exercise into a fun challenge game.

In the context of promoting educational equity, Beijing Kingsoft Office Software Co., Ltd. released the "Spring Sprout Plan" 2.0 at this year's Education Equipment Exhibition, which aims to extend AI capabilities to basic education.

To accurately match the demands of enterprises, the organizer of the Education Equipment Exhibition, the China Education Equipment Industry Association, has established a "online+offline" three-dimensional research system. Each participating company can receive a demand survey form issued by the organizer, and any needs or suggestions can be filled out online on the mobile platform at any time. The research comprehensively covers exhibitors of different scales and fields, and deeply understands the actual demands of enterprises in booth construction, resource docking, brand promotion, and other aspects, providing a basis for optimizing service processes and improving the quality of educational decoration exhibitions, making services more accurate and in line with industry realities.

On this basis, this year's Education Equipment Exhibition has launched two consecutive days of heavy product, technology, and achievement press conferences. The press conference was planned by the organizing committee with a unified theme, venue and process, and focused on promotion. A giant screen and display platform were set up in the center of the front hall of Hall 9, and 20 companies including Huawei Terminal Co., Ltd., Yushu Technology Co., Ltd., and Guangzhou Shirui Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. took turns to appear, facing the procurement leaders of education departments (education commissions) in various provinces (regions, municipalities), 20800 school principals and procurement teams, and international trade buyers from more than 20 countries, forming a large-scale release effect. All new products are closely related to the main line of "artificial intelligence+education", focusing on three major directions: first, original technology achievement roadshows, covering key areas such as AI education models and domestically produced computing power equipment; Secondly, solutions to teaching pain points will be released, targeting the needs of rural school renovation, compatibility with old equipment, and improvement of after-school services; The third is to focus on mental health education and special education, and launch AI emotional screening, psychological state monitoring, and stress relief equipment to accurately meet the needs of schools. There is no need for companies to find venues and attract customers themselves. The organizer organizes them uniformly, which saves time and effort and has a good effect, "said the marketing department head of an exhibiting company. In addition to the exhibition platform during the fashion show, the organizing committee stated that it will build an online long-term exhibition platform for enterprises, link industry forums and business matching meetings, continuously expand brand influence for enterprises, and extend the value of the fashion show.

In terms of booth security, the organizing committee responds to the development demands of small and medium-sized enterprises, scientifically coordinates the outer space of the main venue, builds four standardized outdoor exhibition sheds, and allocates them to small and medium-sized enterprises that have been deeply involved in the industry for many years and have small booth areas. The reporter walked into the exhibition booth for a survey, and found it cool, comfortable, well-organized, and free from noise and congestion; We will lay a dedicated gigabit stable network throughout the entire area, with no lag or disconnection. Enterprises can demonstrate intelligent equipment in real time and remotely connect with overseas customers; Install constant temperature ventilation and cooling equipment inside the shed, and set up drinking water, rest, and emergency service points in different areas.
