【Smart CityOnline Exhibition Report】Deeply cultivate the field of artificial intelligence and activate the momentum of industrial intelligent manufacturing. The 2026 Qingdao International Artificial Intelligence Exhibition has officially kicked off. Based on the strong foundation of Shandong's advanced manufacturing industry and the development advantages of the artificial intelligence industry, this exhibition takes "digital intelligence empowers the industry, innovation leads the future" as the core theme, and builds an international AI exchange platform that integrates technology display, product iteration, industry docking, and ecological co construction. The overall scale of the exhibition has reached a new high, with an exhibition area of 60000 square meters and over 600 high-quality domestic and foreign artificial intelligence enterprises participating. Top brands are gathered, cutting-edge technologies are gathered, and application scenarios are rich, showcasing Shandong's practice and new achievements in the deep integration of artificial intelligence and the real economy in all aspects.
As the leading province in the development of artificial intelligence industry in China, Shandong has continued to deepen its focus on the AI core track in recent years. By 2025, the revenue of the province's AI core industry will exceed 128.9 billion yuan, accounting for one tenth of the national total. The industry scale, technological innovation, and scenario applications have all achieved leapfrog development. Relying on the layout of Jinan and Qingdao dual national E-level supercomputing centers, Shandong has built a three-level collaborative computing system of "supercomputing+intelligent computing+edge computing". With a complete range of industries, rich application scenarios and sound policy support, Shandong has become the core fertile ground for national AI technology implementation, industrial agglomeration, and innovation iteration. The landing of this exhibition in Qingdao is precisely based on the advantages of Qingdao's coastal opening, industrial intelligent manufacturing foundation, and international communication hub, linking the AI industry resources of the whole province, and creating a highly influential artificial intelligence industry event in the northern region.
This exhibition gathers a group of industry leaders and benchmark companies in science and technology innovation, with well-known brands such as Huawei, Xiaomi, Haier, Hisense, and Yushu all appearing, bringing coverage of artificial intelligence models, intelligent terminals, industrial AI, and embodied intelligencerobotCore products and cutting-edge solutions for the entire chain, including smart homes, computing infrastructure, etc., covering industrial manufacturing, consumer goods, special operationssmart homeMultiple application areas such as urban governance, showcasing the latest achievements of artificial intelligence technology from scientific research and innovation to large-scale implementation.
At the exhibition site, local leading enterprises showcased Shandong's intelligent manufacturing capabilities. As benchmarks for intelligent manufacturing in Shandong, Haier and Hisense focus on "artificial intelligence+home appliance manufacturing" and "AI+smart life", showcasing innovative products such as whole house intelligent solutions, AI IoT terminals, and smart home ecosystems. Leveraging the mature home appliance industry chain foundation in Shandong, they promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence technology into consumer scenarios and enable intelligent technology to be implemented in thousands of households. At the same time, based on the transformation and upgrading needs of Shandong's manufacturing industry, the enterprise showcases industrial grade solutions such as industrial AI quality inspection, intelligent production line scheduling, and digital factory construction, helping the province's traditional manufacturing industry achieve intelligent and digital transformation, and implementing Shandong's development strategy of deep integration of "artificial intelligence+manufacturing".
The heavyweight participation of domestic technology giants injects strong innovation momentum into the exhibition. Huawei unveiled its full stack computing power services, industry models, and artificial intelligence infrastructure solutions, which are deeply in line with the construction layout of Shandong's "China Computing Valley" and help upgrade the province's computing power network, facilitate data element circulation, and promote industry intelligence transformation. Xiaomi brings a full range of intelligent terminals, AIoT ecosystem products, and cutting-edge human-computer interaction technology, showcasing innovative breakthroughs in consumer grade artificial intelligence and empowering the upgrading of smart living scenarios. Yushu Technology focuses on the field of embodied intelligence, showcasing a variety of quadruped robots and special intelligent robots, covering application scenarios such as industrial inspection, high-risk operations, and livelihood services. It accurately connects with the high-quality development layout of Shandong's robotics industry and fills the gaps in the province's intelligent special equipment application scenarios.
In addition to the heavyweight display of top enterprises, more than 600 participating companies cover the entire industry chain segmentation fields of upstream and downstream, from core algorithms, big data corpus, intelligent computing power and other underlying technical support, to mid-range products such as industry models, intelligent software and hardware, system integration, and then to full scene application solutions, building a complete artificial intelligence industry ecosystem display system. Exhibitors rely on Shandong's rich industrial scenes, data resources, and industrial policy advantages to showcase intelligent transformation solutions that are suitable for 19 iconic industrial chains in Shandong, providing technical support for the intelligent upgrading of the entire manufacturing chain, all factors, and all scenarios in the province.
In recent years, Shandong has continuously strengthened its layout in the artificial intelligence industry, introduced a series of supportive policies such as the Action Plan for High Quality Development of the Robot Industry and the "Double Hundred Project" for artificial intelligence, and cultivated over a thousand key enterprises in the fields of big models, big data, and big computing power. The number of large-scale applications of big models in vertical fields ranks among the top in the country. This exhibition precisely connects with the development plan of Shandong's artificial intelligence industry. It is not only a showcase for cutting-edge technologies and innovative products, but also an important bridge for industry docking, resource aggregation, and win-win cooperation. During the exhibition, a series of activities such as industry summit forums, technology docking meetings, new product launches, and industry university research negotiations will also be held simultaneously, focusing on core topics such as AI technology innovation, industry integration, and scene implementation, gathering industry experts, enterprise representatives, and investment institutions to discuss the future of the industry.
The successful hosting of the 2026 Qingdao International Artificial Intelligence Exhibition has further solidified Shandong's leading position in the development of the artificial intelligence industry nationwide, and strengthened Qingdao's core role as a hub for the northern artificial intelligence industry and a hub for opening up to the outside world. In the future, Shandong will continue to deepen its layout for innovative development of artificial intelligence, relying on multiple advantages in industry, computing power, scenarios, and policies, continuously promoting the deep integration of artificial intelligence with advanced manufacturing, livelihood services, urban governance, and other fields, continuously expanding the scale of the AI industry, improving the industrial ecology, striving to achieve a revenue of over 250 billion yuan in the AI industry by 2028, and continuously outputting Shandong's model for high-quality development of the AI industry.
