SMM IEM 2026 (6th) Motor Annual Conference and Industry Chain Expo

　　Exhibition Background

At present, China's motor industry is in a critical stage of deep adjustment and pattern reshaping. Downstream application fields are accelerating differentiation, traditional market demand is slowing down, and tracks such as robotics, low altitude economy, shipbuilding and aviation, and high-end industrial equipment are becoming new engines for industrial growth. At the same time, the high volatility of raw material prices, intensified homogeneous competition, and continuous pressure on processing fees have made "involution" a prominent problem restricting the healthy development of the industry. Anti internal competition has become a common voice in the entire industry.

From the perspective of technological evolution, new processes and materials such as flat wire, aluminum instead of copper, amorphous materials, self-adhesive silicon steel, and high-speed bearings are accelerating their penetration in different sub sectors. However, the maturity of industrialization varies greatly, and enterprises urgently need to obtain real and practical technical cases and cost data. From the application perspective, the profit margin in the field of new energy vehicles continues to narrow, and the focus of enterprises is shifting from "scale expansion" to "value cultivation"; The production pace in the field of robotics is faster than expected, and there is a strong demand for core components such as joint modules and precision controls; In the field of industrial motors, high efficiency, energy conservation, and reliability are equally important, and special motors still maintain a good level of profitability. In addition, cutting-edge directions such as solid-state transformers, AI assisted design, and graphene copper have also attracted widespread attention. The government also attaches great importance to the landing of industries and attracting investment. How to organically combine policy propaganda with industrial services has become an important lever for promoting regional industries. To drive industry development, it is necessary to collaborate upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, break down information barriers, and build an efficient and win-win docking mechanism.

Based on the above industry situation,SMM IEM 2026 (6th) Motor Annual Conference and Industry Chain ExpoIn response to the situation, it will be held at the Suzhou International Expo Center from November 25-27, 2026, focusing on the main line of "smart breakthrough, internal competition, green future", and focusing on core tracks such as robots, new energy vehicles, industrial motors, transformers, and low altitude economy. Around the progress of new materials, new processes, and new applications, a platform for precise upstream and downstream docking and deep communication will be built. At the same time, a series of activities such as high-end forums, technical seminars, procurement docking, and industry investment promotion will be organized to help enterprises gain insights into trends, connect resources, break through barriers, and jointly promote the motor industry to move towards a new stage of high-quality development.
