China’s premier innovation exhibition, BEYOND Expo, has confirmed the launch of its new China-focused edition, the XIN Summit, scheduled for November 15-16, 2025, in Shenzhen’s Nanshan District. The summit, whose name XIN stands for Xplore, Innovate, Network, is a key platform for advancing China’s push for technological self-reliance, a central tenet of its new Five-Year Plan. The event’s agenda will be heavily anchored by discussions and showcases focused on the AI hardware ecosystem and frontier technologies, including intelligent systems, smart devices, and advanced infrastructure.
A major complementary focus will be green energy innovation, a sector where China is already a world leader. The agenda includes dedicated sessions on leveraging intelligent systems to accelerate the sustainable energy transition, addressing the energy demands of AI with more efficient computing and sustainable power generation. Other November events across China, such as the Wuxi International Renewable Energy Exhibition, also highlight the national commitment to solar, energy storage, and electric vehicle technologies.The XIN Summit is designed to serve as a hub for cross-border collaboration, connecting China’s most promising startups with global investors and resources, particularly within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area where hardware supply chains are dense. The summit will feature pitch sessions and business matchmaking, aiming to accelerate emerging ventures and foster partnerships that drive the next wave of technological breakthroughs.
