The 11th New Energy Industry Chain Expo (CLNB 2026) will take place from April 8-10 at the Suzhou International Expo Center in Suzhou, China, positioning itself as a key platform connecting the global new energy industry. Organizers expect participation from over 1,500 exhibitors and delegates alongside more than 30,000 professional visitors from 30+ countries and regions, reflecting the event's international scope and importance as a central meeting point for an industry undergoing profound transformation.
The expo will showcase the full industry ecosystem across five dedicated exhibition areas: Innovative Battery, Mining & Raw Materials, Advanced Materials, Battery Recycling, and Integrated Energy Solutions. This comprehensive approach allows participants to examine the entire value chain of the new energy sector, from raw material extraction to end-of-life battery management and holistic energy systems. The concentration of industry stakeholders in one location enables direct engagement on challenges ranging from material sourcing to recycling infrastructure, reflecting a growing recognition of the interconnectedness required for successful energy system transformation.
Beyond the exhibition floor, CLNB 2026 will feature high-level forums with more than 130 industry speakers addressing key discussion topics including solid-state batteries, supply chain resilience, and other pressing issues facing the rapidly evolving energy landscape. These forums provide a critical opportunity for knowledge exchange and strategic dialogue among industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers. As nations worldwide pursue energy transition goals, forums addressing solid-state batteries and supply chains become increasingly vital for securing a sustainable and reliable energy future.
With global demand for clean energy solutions accelerating, events like CLNB 2026 facilitate the connections and collaborations necessary to advance technology and scale production. The expo's focus on the entire industry ecosystem, rather than isolated components, underscores its strategic importance in addressing complex challenges that span multiple sectors and geographic regions.
