From May 12 to 14, 2026, THE 13TH GAS TURBINE FOCUS CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION 2026 was grandly held at Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center. As an invited participant, Qihang Bida joined industry experts, aero engine groups, gas turbine manufacturers, research institutes, leading material and component enterprises, as well as global partners at the event to exchange insights and explore industry development.
The summit gathered key players from the global aero engine and gas turbine sector, featuring full-industry chain aggregation, high-level academic exchanges and efficient supply-demand matchmaking, and concluded with remarkable achievements. It serves as a panoramic industry event covering the entire aero-engine and gas turbine industrial chain, as well as an in-depth platform for independent innovation and international collaborative development. GTF has become not only a showcase for cutting-edge technologies, but also a key barometer reflecting industry vitality and development trends.
More than 250 academicians, chief scientists, senior executives and chief engineers delivered keynote speeches, with over 100 in-depth seminars covering policy, technology, market operation and maintenance, and other key topics. The exhibition maintained strong popularity, attracting leading enterprises from home and abroad.
Exhibits spanned the full industrial chain, including complete units, core hot-section components, premium superalloy raw materials and advanced manufacturing processes. Highlights included domestically breakthrough gas turbine turbine blades, complete aero engines, high-grade superalloys, precision investment casting, and additive manufacturing. Also on display were five-axis CNC machining and intelligent 3D printing equipment breaking technical barriers, alongside multi-scenario hybrid power systems suitable for low-altitude economy and low-carbon solutions for hydrogen-ammonia co-firing. Exhibitors demonstrated profound technical expertise, core competitive advantages, and strong capabilities in digital intelligence, lean management and precision manufacturing.
The event effectively connected OEM leaders with core supporting supply chains, facilitating precise docking between main engine developers and upstream suppliers of materials, processes and testing services. It built a professional platform for direct communication and efficient business negotiation to address industry pain points such as superalloy recycling, precision performance testing, and intelligent factory automation upgrading.
