The Expec - Electric Technology & Equipment Exhibition, a leading trade fair for technology and equipment used in explosion-hazardous areas, takes place annually at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) in Shanghai. This event is organized by the renowned Zhenwei Exhibition Group and is a vital component of the petrochemical industry and related sectors. It attracts professionals from around the world, including prominent companies from the petroleum and petrochemical industries, research institutes, overseas project departments, and ministries, and offers a crucial platform for professional purchasers globally. Concurrently, the China International Petrochemical Technology and Equipment Exhibition (cippe) runs, creating significant synergies and making both events a central meeting point for industry experts. Participants have the opportunity to learn about the latest technologies, innovations, and solutions in areas such as explosion-proof testing devices, equipment, and electronic devices, including connection systems, lighting, and electrical machinery. Expec covers a broad range of topics, from oil and gas exploration, exploitation, and production to petrochemical manufacturing processes, geophysical exploration technologies, borehole logging, and drilling techniques, extending to testing, repair, maintenance, and management of facilities. Additional focuses include the construction of oil and gas pipelines, scientific research and laboratory equipment in the oil and petrochemical industries, industrial automation, safety technologies, environmental protection, and energy conservation. The NECC in Shanghai, known for its advanced infrastructure and extensive exhibition spaces, provides the ideal setting for Expec. The fair is characterized by its international exhibitors and visitors and serves as a platform for knowledge exchange and business opportunities. Special highlights include the presentation of advanced technologies and solutions, extensive networking opportunities, and expert lectures offering deep insights into current trends and developments in the industry. The Expec takes place annually, and therefore for the 17th time previsibly in November 2025 in Shanghai.
