AI Takes Center Stage As The 5th Global Digital Trade Expo Opens in Hangzhou — Meet HOBOVAR at Booth 3A-T036

Hangzhou, September 23, 2026 — The 5th Global Digital Trade Expo (GDTE) officially opened today at the Hangzhou Grand Convention and Exhibition Center, and AI is unmistakably the star of the show.

GDTE is China’s only national-level, international and professional exhibition dedicated to digital trade, and one of the country’s six most prestigious first-tier trade exhibitions. This year’s edition, themed “Meet the AI Future at GDTE,” has drawn delegations from more than 120 countries and regions and nearly 30 international organizations, with Malaysia serving as the guest country of honor.

The opening-day scale speaks for itself: a total exhibition area of more than 170,000 square meters, more than 1,600 exhibitors, and nearly 10,000 international buyers registered before the doors even opened. Artificial intelligence companies account for more than one-third of all exhibitors — the clearest sign yet that digital trade now runs on AI.

The AI zone: the technological cornerstone

Inside the AI exhibition zone, visitors journey through the full AI chain — from computing power and data to foundation models and intelligent terminals — with hundreds of large models and dozens of world premieres on display. It is where the future of trade is being demoed, hands-on.

HOBOVAR is back, bigger and smarter

HOBOVAR is proud to be part of this AI moment. This is our third time exhibiting at GDTE. We have returned to the Jiangsu Provincial Group’s AI zone at Booth 3A-T036 with seven flagship innovations: the 3D Motion-Sensing Fitting Mirror, the AI Digital Human Advertising Machine, the AR Cycling Interactive Terminal, and a complete smart commercial display lineup — outdoor mobile advertising machines, solar-powered smart benches, backpack advertising machines and circular screens.

The expo runs September 23–27 (open to the public from September 24). Come find us at Booth 3A-T036 — we would love to show you how AI, AR and clean energy are reshaping smart cities and digital advertising.
