With the theme “Technology Empowering Industry, Driving Integration for a Shared Future,” this year’s CHTF showcased cutting-edge products, advanced technologies, and innovative solutions from a wide range of domestic and international industries. As the most popular and high-profile national-level event in Shenzhen this November, the fair ignited passion and enthusiasm across the tech innovation landscape. It not only reinforced its reputation as China’s “No. 1 Technology Exhibition,” but also cemented its status as the “World’s Leading Innovation Fair,” serving as a global hub for top-tier technologies and a bellwether for future industrial development.
1. CHTF Showcases a “Clash of Titans” in Technology, Expanding Global Innovation Horizons
The 27th China Hi-Tech Fair featured 22 major exhibition zones covering strategic sectors such as national-level equipment, artificial intelligence and robotics, semiconductors and integrated circuits, consumer electronics, low-altitude economy, and commercial aerospace. It offered a comprehensive view of the latest global technological advancements and China’s cutting-edge innovations. Over 90% of the physical exhibits at this year’s fair represented high-end, precision, and advanced technologies, with more than 20% being debut products unveiled for the first time.
More than 40 central and state-owned enterprises, including China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, CNOOC, CGN, China Southern Power Grid, and China Electric Equipment Group, showcased their core technologies in intelligent manufacturing. Major breakthroughs such as the Long March rocket, HaiKui-1 platform, Hualong One reactor, “Shenzhen Star” APSTAR-6D satellite, and EH216-S autonomous passenger aircraft demonstrated China’s innovation-driven solutions and stirred national pride.
Over 2,000 leading enterprises, research institutions, and tech competitions—including BYD, Tencent, Huawei, Honor, Empyrean Technology, Guangming Laboratory, Unitree Robotics, Cyberdog, Bourne Optical, and the Dexterous Hand Competition—brought cutting-edge technologies that electrified the venue. Highlights such as the OpenHarmony ecosystem, Ascend 384 Super Node, domestic AI ecosystem exhibitions, satellite-enabled long-distance robotic surgery, and the world’s first MRI with integrated video capture turned heads and drew consistent crowds.
Interactive experiences like robot combat, 3D world generation models, eVTOL manned aircraft, and AI-generated artwork created a buzzing, high-energy atmosphere. The overwhelming turnout and excitement underscored the audience’s growing anticipation for how technology will reshape everyday life.
2. CHTF Becomes a Core Engine for Resource Allocation, Showcasing National Strategic Strength in Regional Synergy
CHTF has firmly established itself as a key platform for promoting regional collaborative innovation, optimizing resource allocation, and advancing market integration. For the first time, this year’s CHTF introduced a dedicated exhibition zone for “Regional Economic and Technological Innovation Achievements.” From clean energy initiatives in the Northwest to the booming digital economy in the Southeast, and from high-end equipment manufacturing in the Northeast to frontier technologies in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the zone highlighted the latest breakthroughs in scientific research, independent innovation, and industrial integration across various regions.
The Shanghai delegation featured cutting-edge projects including a model of the “China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR),” high-temperature plasma treatment technologies, a megacity-level mobility data platform, and a magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage and fueling demonstration project. The Yuhang delegation from Hangzhou showcased impressive technologies such as the Revo 2 bionic industrial dexterous hand, graphene composite fibers, a DNA microarray synthesizer using TFT semiconductor technology, and self-developed domestic chips. The Zhangjiagang delegation drew crowds with exhibits including a scaled model of the “Tianlong-3” large liquid launch vehicle, a heavy-duty six-rotor drone, and inspection robots. From Futian District in Shenzhen, the tech delegation presented innovations like the NAO robot, Linglong robot, IoT operating systems, AI glasses, superconducting quantum chips, quantum arbitrary waveform generators, and electron beam lithography machines—demonstrating the vast possibilities of technological advancement.
These regional achievements in tech innovation and industry integration, amplified through the national platform that is CHTF, are fostering a collaborative, complementary innovation ecosystem. This synergy is injecting powerful momentum into China’s path toward modernization and high-quality development.
Moreover, over 30 universities and research institutions—including Tsinghua University, Peking University, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Fudan University, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenzhen Bay Laboratory, RIOS Lab, and Shenzhen Institute of Computing Sciences—brought their latest research to the fair.

These future-oriented breakthroughs created vibrant focal points throughout the venue, becoming signature highlights that drew sustained attention and enthusiasm from attendees.
3. Global Intelligence, China’s Showcase: CHTF Continues to Elevate China’s Hi-Tech “Golden Name Card”

Dedicated exhibition areas for International Sister Cities and Belt and Road International Cooperation were set up to highlight outstanding achievements in leveraging technological innovation to support high-quality development under the Belt and Road Initiative.
On the first day alone, the CHTF hosted a special session focused on the new energy and energy storage industries in Shandong Province, attracting over 30 international buyers from key global markets such as the UK, Russia, Bulgaria, Canada, Mexico, Australia, the UAE, Jordan, and South Korea. Senior decision-makers—including general managers, CEOs, CTOs, and procurement heads—engaged in direct, in-depth discussions on-site, laying the groundwork for future substantial orders and long-term partnerships.
4. CHTF Establishes a National-Level Platform for Impact: 1,023 Deals Signed, RMB 170 Billion in Transactions—The Year’s Premier Innovation Event
During its three-day run, the 27th China Hi-Tech Fair hosted over 200 major events, including industry summits, professional forums, product launches, project roadshows, technical seminars, and prestigious awards ceremonies. Highlights included the China Hi-Tech Forum, the AI Industry Innovation Forum Series, the Low-Altitude Economy Industry Summit, the Semiconductor Industry Ecosystem Forum, and the Industry-Education Integration Forum. Dozens of renowned academicians—such as Liu Daxiang, Harry Shum, Xiang Jinwu, and Meng Jianmin—joined government officials, university scholars, and enterprise leaders to explore the latest global trends and emerging ideas across technology, economics, and finance.
Beyond showcasing frontier technologies, this year’s CHTF placed a strong emphasis on results and transaction facilitation. Through the “1-3-6” strategy—where international buyers accounted for 10%, in-province buyers 30%, and out-of-province buyers 60%—the fair positioned itself as a vital hub for high-tech global cooperation and commercialization.
The Global Sourcing Matchmaking Conference and the Investment & Financing Matchmaking Event brought together 1,036 buyer delegations from countries and regions including the UK, Russia, Canada, and India. Over 3,000 domestic and international investment institutions participated onsite, including JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Sequoia Capital, Bain Capital, and IDG Capital.

Air Corporate data reveals 9 in 10 founders incorporated in Hong Kong do so remotely, driven by a 20% surge in Middle Eastern entrepreneurs seeking cost-effective operational alternatives to Dubai.
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 May 2026 – Air Corporate registered a 40.5% increase in Hong Kong incorporations in 2025, with the first quarter of 2026 already up 48% year-over-year. This data indicates that Hong Kong is reasserting itself as the leading Asian jurisdiction for company formation, fueled by a new wave of remote founders from the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe.
The prevailing narrative over the past five years suggested that Singapore was eclipsing Hong Kong; however, recent incorporation volumes challenge this. According to city-wide official figures cited by Vivian, Founder of Air Corporate, approximately 195,000 companies were registered in Hong Kong in 2025, compared to around 77,000 in Singapore.
“There was a lot of fuss about Singapore taking over Hong Kong as preferred jurisdiction over the last few years, but for 2025 alone, around 195,000 companies were formed in HK, vs around 77,000 for Singapore,” said Vivian. While city-wide registrations rose roughly 35% in 2025, incorporations at Air Corporate specifically grew by 40.5%. Vivian added, “With a 35% increase in the number of companies registered in 2025, Hong Kong is definitely back in the game as the top jurisdiction to start a company.”
The reality of Hong Kong company formation is increasingly global, lean, and founder-led. Nine in ten founders incorporated in Hong Kong with Air Corporate do not live there.
Key demographic and operational insights from Air Corporate’s client base include:
- Approximately 90% of founders operate remotely from abroad, while 10% or less are based in Hong Kong.
- Entrepreneurs aged 35 to 44 represent the largest age cohort at 38%, demonstrating that Hong Kong attracts founders in their prime career years rather than just younger digital nomads.
- Serial entrepreneurs make up 60% of Air Corporate’s client mix, utilizing Hong Kong as an operational base for multiple companies, while first-time founders account for the remaining 40%.
- A total of 89% of new companies are launched by solo founders (58%) or small teams of two to five individuals (31%).
- Mainland China, Hong Kong, Turkey, India, the UAE, Australia, France, and Morocco rank among the top source markets for these founders.
Furthermore, 73% of new Hong Kong incorporations are directly tied to physical goods trade with China. This consists of e-commerce and dropshipping businesses (38%) and the trading of goods (35%). The recovery of in-person trade flows, including events, such as the Canton Fair and various industrial fairs, is pulling foreign founders back into the Greater China orbit and establishing Hong Kong as the natural entry point and financial layer over the world’s largest manufacturing base.
Air Corporate’s data recorded a 20% year-over-year growth in founders originating from the Middle East. This shift highlights a reverse migration where founders previously incorporated in Dubai are now choosing Hong Kong. Based on Vivian’s observations, founders often arrive in Dubai expecting fast incorporation and low costs, but discover that incorporation and maintenance are significantly more expensive than in Hong Kong, and banking remains difficult. Consequently, many founders move to Hong Kong after 12 to 24 months in the UAE, a trend accelerated by the Hong Kong government’s strategic outreach to the region.
For lean, remote-first businesses, speed-to-market is a critical factor. A founder located anywhere in the world can incorporate in Hong Kong and open a working bank account in approximately 7 days using digital banking partners. Currently, 90% of Air Corporate’s clients utilize these digital banking partners.
“Hong Kong and Singapore are the only places in Asia where you can set up your company, get a corporate account, and be in business in less than a week,” concluded Vivian.
Air Corporate is a service provider facilitating company formation and incorporation in Hong Kong for serial entrepreneurs, first-time founders, and remote-first business owners operating globally.

Today’s biggest stars express individuality and confidence with natural diamonds
NEW YORK, US – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 May 2026 – The 2026 Met Gala celebrating “Costume Art” took place May 4th at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, bringing together leading figures from across the globe for an unforgettable evening. These tastemakers showcased the most classic, refined and distinctive diamond jewelry looks of the season. Below, A Diamond is Forever highlights the standout trends from the event.
Desert diamonds
Desert diamonds emerged as a striking throughline on the Met Gala carpet, with a range of hues in distinctive settings taking focus.
Rihanna led the trend in a pair of exceptionally rare old Moghul Golconda fancy brown-yellow diamond earrings by Glenn Spiro, featuring two pear-shaped natural diamonds totaling 51.9 carats. Doja Cat offset her all nude look with a pair of large Leviev Diamonds floral-shaped earrings while Paloma Elsesser made a statement in a 29.5-carat diamond necklace by Bernard James, centered around a 15-carat fancy light yellow pear-shaped natural diamond. Cara Delevingne wore a De Beers London Forces of Nature High Jewelry ring, featuring marquise yellow diamonds set as eyes, while Emma Chamberlain opted for yellow and white diamond earrings by Chopard, underscoring the continued allure of warm diamond hues.
Magnificent Diamond Earrings
A wide variety of captivating silhouettes defined the natural diamond earrings on the Met Gala carpet. Zoë Kravitz delivered a modern twist with oversized diamond flower earrings by Jessica McCormack. Chase Sui Wonders opted for Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany & Co. Sea Fan earrings, bringing an element of sculptural artistry to the look. Gracie Abrams selected gently dangling Chanel earrings, adding understated fluidity, while Connor Storrie selected simple hoop earrings from Tiffany & Co., reinforcing the clean and enduring appeal of natural diamonds.
Standout Diamond Moments
Natural diamonds appeared in personal, unconventional and eye-catching ways, offering moments of surprise and awe. Power couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z embodied this trend with Beyoncé wearing Chopard’s Queen of Kalahari necklace, named after the rare 342-carat diamond that provided 23 stones for Chopard’s Garden of Kalahari collection. Jay-Z contributed to the narrative with a vintage diamond brooch by Briony Raymond worn at the collar as an unexpected placement that underscored the piece’s versatility. Isha Ambani made the styling of diamonds an art form in itself, wearing her own diamond jewelry featuring approximately 150 carats of old mine-cut diamonds, including a three-strand necklace and chandelier earrings, while also incorporating diamonds sewn directly into the bodice of her sari to represent significant moments in her life.
Together, these looks highlighted a shift toward natural diamonds as vessels of personal expression, styled with intention, individuality, and a sense of the unexpected.
