On December 5th, the "Three Year Action Plan for Wuhan to Build an International R&D Center City (2025-2027)" was released, which stated that by 2027, Wuhan will enter the top 10 global research cities, accelerate the aggregation of R&D resources, increase the R&D investment intensity of the whole society to 4.2%, break through 1500 R&D platforms, and the total number of R&D personnel will reach 300000; There are over 300 R&D enterprises, forming 3-5 high-end R&D industry clusters, with over 50 high-value invention patents per 10000 people .....
The 14th Wuhan International Scientific Instruments and Laboratory Equipment Exhibition (referred to as Wuhan Science and Technology Exhibition) will be held from April 16-18, 2026 at the China Optics Valley Science and Technology Exhibition Center in Wuhan, organized by the Hubei Provincial University Laboratory Work Research Association, Wuhan Biomedical Industry Association, Wuhan Wind vane Exhibition Service Co., Ltd.
Wuhan Science and Technology Exhibition actively cooperates with the implementation of the "plan", including Mindray, Lianying, Haier, Germany's Kruse, Prande, UK's Edm, Switzerland's Mettler, Ulide, Steel Research Nack, Fuli, Dalong, Wuhan's well-known local enterprises such as Sevier, Senta, Lanheng, Jisi, Xinxingxing, Kebei, Youshang and Yue, Youpu, Lianhua, Yaoke IoT, Xintianpu, Terno, Bofit, Boante, etc., all settled in. The sales area of the three halls on the first floor of China Optics Valley Technology Exhibition Center has exceeded 70%.
From the booth reservation situation of this year, it can be seen that the progress of domestic instruments is accelerating; The integration of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and instruments has significantly promoted the digital transformation of laboratories; Instruments in fields such as life sciences, intelligent manufacturing, and new materials are highly favored by the market. On the other hand, research funding in Wuhan accounts for 3.8% of GDP, with basic research accounting for 8.85%. Hubei has maintained the sixth highest competitiveness in basic research in China for six consecutive years. The Donghu High tech Zone has gathered a large number of universities, research institutions, and high-tech enterprises, forming industrial clusters in fields such as biomedicine, optoelectronics, and advanced manufacturing, with a strong demand for high-end scientific instruments.
The 2026 Wuhan Science and Technology Exhibition, as a barometer of the laboratory equipment market in Central China, provides R&D personnel with convenient access to the latest market and technological trends through a series of activities such as summit forums, product exhibitions, industry achievement displays, and new product releases. To this end, the 2026 Wuhan Science and Technology Exhibition will design a new "invitation to view" mode, specifically targeting departments such as technology, research and development, and quality to distribute "hero posts" to jointly create this year's instrument event.
