From December 9th to 11th, 2026, GFC2026 Asia Green Factory Conference&Expo 2026 will be held at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. Simultaneously hold the Shanghai Clean Technology and Equipment Exhibition.
The theme of this exhibition is "Smart Green, Enjoying the Future", bringing together four major sectors including GFC Green Factory, SCTE Clean Technology and Equipment for joint exhibition in the same hall. More than ten professional forums will be held at the same time, which is expected to attract hundreds of domestic and foreign exhibitors and over 30000 professional visitors, creating a one-stop industry docking platform covering the entire life cycle of green factory "design construction factory operation and maintenance".
The industry event of green factories at the intersection of policies has changed from "optional questions" to "mandatory questions"
In the first year of the 15th Five Year Plan, the green and low-carbon transformation of the manufacturing industry has accelerated comprehensively. The State Council's "15th Five Year Plan for Carbon Peak Action" clearly states the construction of about 100 national level zero carbon parks and about 500 zero carbon factories, and deploys industrial carbon reduction targets. In January 2026, five departments jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on the Construction of Zero Carbon Factories", proposing to cultivate a batch of zero carbon factories in key industries by 2027. At the same time, the new version of the General Principles for the Evaluation of Green Factories (GB/T 36132-2025) has been implemented, and supporting policies for green finance have been implemented simultaneously.
Under the triple drive of policies, standards, and finance, the construction of green factories is shifting from an "optional question" for manufacturing enterprises to a "mandatory question".
Four major sectors showcase in one stop, covering the entire lifecycle of factories
The accelerated implementation of policies has directly stimulated a huge market demand: from the planning and design of green and zero carbon factories, clean plant construction, to energy-saving and carbon reduction renovations, green microgrids, and digital energy and carbon management, manufacturing enterprises urgently need to efficiently connect with professional resources.
GFC2026 is upgrading in response to the trend, with four major sectors working together - GFC's green factory sector focuses on overall solutions for factory management and energy conservation and carbon reduction; SCTE's clean technology sector covers cleanroom technology and equipment for high cleanliness industries such as semiconductors, biomedicine, and food; MBE Metal Architecture; The TIM insulation material panel connects green building structures and enclosure system materials. The four major sectors jointly cover the entire life cycle of the factory from design, construction to operation and maintenance, allowing owners to complete comprehensive integration from solutions to supply chains in a "one-stop" manner.
12 professional forums focus on vertical tracks to directly address real pain points in the industry
This exhibition will hold a total of 12 professional forums under the theme of "1+11", covering vertical fields such as semiconductors, biomedicine, food and beverage, chemicals, data centers and computing infrastructure, AI zero carbon, trade compliance, and clean technology.
Previous forum audience surveys have shown that the topics with the highest attention from property owners are focused on energy conservation in semiconductor factories, optimization of clean room energy consumption, and compliance with green supply chains. This agenda is set around these real pain points and adheres to the content standard of "case+data", building a bridge for technical dialogue and business cooperation between factory owners, design institutes, engineering general contractors, and equipment service providers.
Dual guarantee of professional audience structure and industrial resources
GFC2025 attracted a total of 275 exhibiting companies and 10114 professional visitors to register for the exhibition, with a geographical structure of 38% in Shanghai, 23% in Jiangsu, and 10% in Zhejiang, covering the core manufacturing area of the Yangtze River Delta; GlobalFoundries、 Semiconductor and display leading companies such as SMIC, Huahong Group, BOE, Tianma, and Visionor all had professional visitors present for inspection and study.
This exhibition is hosted and organized by Shanghai Zhanye Exhibition Co., Ltd., and has deep cooperation with industry organizations such as Shanghai Federation of Industrial Economics, Shanghai Federation of Economic Organizations, Shanghai Energy Conservation Association, National Clean Room and Related Controlled Environment Standardization Technical Committee, Dandelion (Pharmaceutical), China Chemical Enterprise Management Association Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industry Special Committee, IFMA, etc; At the same time as the exhibition, we will also organize precise docking activities such as visiting and inspection groups for homeowners, closed door business negotiations, etc., to create high-quality and in-depth cooperation scenes for exhibitors and professional visitors.
The relevant person in charge of the GFC2026 organizing committee stated that the '15th Five Year Plan' is a key window period for achieving the carbon peak target. The national goal of having around 100 national level zero carbon parks and 500 zero carbon factories means that the manufacturing industry will usher in a systematic wave of green upgrading in the next five years. GFC2026 hopes to bring together policy makers, owners, designers, builders, and equipment service providers on the same platform, so that green factories can enter the workshop production line from policy documents. "
At present, both exhibitor registration and audience pre registration channels for GFC2026 have been fully opened, and the organizing committee will launch targeted invitations for key manufacturing clusters in the Yangtze River Delta and across the country in September.
GFC Green Factory Circle
GFC Asia Green Factory Design, Construction, and Factory Management Conference and Exhibition "is a professional exhibition platform that focuses on the entire industry chain of green factories and clean manufacturing. Since its establishment in 2023, it has been held for two consecutive sessions, attracting hundreds of participating companies and tens of thousands of professional visitors. The audience covers factory owners (semiconductor, electronics, pharmaceuticals, automotive, power batteries, food, chemical, aerospace, etc.), factory management EHS、 Decision making positions such as energy and procurement, as well as experts in EPC engineering general contracting and design institutes.
The GFC Asia Green Factory Conference and Exhibition is held annually at the Shanghai New International Expo Center, connecting over 300 exhibitors and 30000 professional visitors.
