CGCEC 2026 Unveils 10,000 sqm Green Exhibition Special Zone with Nearly 100 Companies Offering Full-Chain Solutions

As the "dual carbon" goals deeply reshape industries, the green transformation of the exhibition industry is no longer optional but mandatory. From September 16-18, 2026, a national-level green and low-carbon event will unfold at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) in Tianjin.

The 2026 Green & Low-Carbon Expo, hosted by China Foreign Trade Center Group, joins forces with the 2026 International Engineering Construction Expo for a dual exhibition under the same roof, with a total scale of 100,000 square meters. Themed "Painting a Green Blueprint, Exploring a Low-Carbon Future," the event will gather cutting-edge technologies, products, and solutions in the global green and low-carbon field, expecting to attract over 30,000 professional visitors from government, industry, academia, and research.

The inaugural Green Convention & Exhibition Conference (CGCEC 2026), hosted by the International Convention & Exhibition Economics Professional Committee, as a key concurrent event of the Green & Low-Carbon Expo, will present a spectacular 10,000 sqm Green Exhibition Special Zone with its exhibitor lineup officially unveiled.

This is not an ordinary exhibition, but a real-world answer within the grand narrative of the Green & Low-Carbon Expo, focusing specifically on the core question of "how the exhibition industry itself can go green." The exhibition zone is located in Hall S7 of NECC Tianjin, running from September 16-18.

10,000 sqm x Nearly 100 Companies: The Complete Green Exhibition Industry Chain in One View

The 10,000 sqm special zone brings together nearly 100 green exhibition technology and service enterprises, covering the core links of the entire green exhibition industry chain. Behind these numbers lies an unprecedented large-scale gathering in China's green exhibition sector.

The exhibition area is systematically organized around three key directions to meet the actual needs of the industry's low-carbon transformation: Green Construction Solutions -- redefining recyclable exhibition spaces from structural design to construction; Eco-friendly Materials -- replacing traditional disposable materials at the source and promoting green upgrades of exhibition materials; Green Operations -- covering the full chain of low-carbon operations including venue management, on-site services, logistics, and digital exhibition.

Leveraging the super platform of the 100,000 sqm Green & Low-Carbon Expo, the Green Exhibition Special Zone in Hall S7 serves as both an independent industrial exhibition window and a collaborative gateway into the broader green ecosystem. Here, exhibition professionals can not only find complete solutions for green exhibition management but also cross-pollinate with leading enterprises in energy, circular economy, green equipment, and green transportation sectors.

Nearly 100 Companies Assembled: Floor Plan Officially Released

To date, the zone has attracted nearly 100 green technology and service enterprises confirmed to participate. Their exhibits and display directions precisely match the actual needs of the exhibition industry's low-carbon transformation. From green construction to eco-friendly materials, from digital exhibition to low-carbon logistics, from on-site operations to smart management -- a complete green exhibition industry chain will be presented at NECC Tianjin.

Participating companies span multiple sectors including green construction and decoration engineering, eco-friendly materials and low-carbon technology, digital exhibition and information technology, and exhibition operations and comprehensive services.

Pioneer Companies from Five Major Tracks Revealed

Among the many exhibitors in the green display section, the organizing committee has selected 5 representative enterprises deeply engaged in different tracks to showcase their core highlights. These innovative industry forces will appear together at NECC Tianjin, painting the infinite possibilities of green exhibitions.

Why You Can't Miss This Exhibition Zone

The Green Exhibition Zone is not just a display space but an efficient matchmaking platform. Its core value lies in: Face-to-Face Communication -- organizers, venues, builders, and technology service providers gather in one place for efficient connections; Industry Chain Integration -- one-stop connection of upstream and downstream, breaking information barriers; Direct Implementation of Solutions -- concentrated display of low-carbon exhibition solutions that can be directly applied to actual projects; Triple Effect -- technology exhibition, business negotiation, and experience exchange conducted simultaneously; Cross-Industry Synergy -- leveraging the Green & Low-Carbon Expo platform to create new cooperation opportunities with leading enterprises in energy and circular economy.

The wave of green and low-carbon has arrived, and the green transformation of the exhibition industry is in full swing. 10,000 sqm of exhibition space, nearly 100 green enterprises, and full industry chain solutions -- this is not an ordinary exhibition, but a collective action of the exhibition industry. A deep dialogue about green exhibitions is about to begin in Tianjin.
