The 4th China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE), taking place this week in in Beijing, has added a dedicated artificial intelligence (AI) zone, systematically presenting the complete ecosystem of AI across the full industrial chain, from data and perception, to computing power and algorithms, and then to applications and solutions, according to Li Xingqian, Vice Chairperson of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT). He added that the exhibition aims to present the entire ecosystem of AI across the full chain, from data collection and intelligent computing to real-world scenario implementation. The AI zone brings together leading domestic and international AI companies, including NVIDIA, Intel, Qualcomm, and Alibaba.
Intel told the Global Times that it will demonstrate collaborative AI innovations with ecosystem partners across cloud, edge, and end devices. As a veteran participant, Intel is attending the CISCE for the third year. Its booth will display AI personal computers, AI servers, edge computing, embodied intelligence, and intelligent vehicles. The establishment of the AI section at the CISCE has attracted a growing number of AI companies to participate, significantly enhancing the expo's global standing and influence, Bian Yongzu, Executive Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Modernization of Management magazine, told the Global Times. A total of 676 Chinese and foreign enterprises and industry institutions have confirmed their participation, with exhibitors coming from 85 countries, regions, and international organizations, according to the CCPIT.

Together with the upstream and downstream supply chain partners brought by the exhibitors, the actual number of exhibitors is expected to exceed 1,200, the CCPIT said. Yin Zheng, Executive Vice President of China and East Asia Operations, Schneider Electric, told the Global Times that with a complete industrial system, a mega-sized market, and a continuously improving business environment, China serves as both a “stabilizer” and a “source of innovation” for the global industrial chain, the Global Times reports.
