On 30 October 2026, the China International Investment Promotion Agency (CIIPA) will host the 10th German-Chinese Automotive Congress in the Volkswagen Autostadt in Wolfsburg, Germany. 

The congress brings together representatives from Chinese towns and cities, industrial parks and companies with German OEMs, suppliers, key industry players and institutions. The event aims to promote high-level professional exchanges regarding the latest developments in the automotive industry and to reveal concrete potential for cooperation along the entire automotive value chain. 

The congress programme will focus on central industry trends and topics concerning investments, production, technology and industrial cooperation between Chinese and German partners. 

CIIPA is also organising the participation of Chinese companies in the International Suppliers Fair (IZB), which will take place directly before the congress, from 27 to 29 October 2026. The CIIPA joint stand, which will cover an area of around 1,000 square metres, will be located in a prominent position in Hall 6. Here, approximately 30 to 35 leading Chinese companies will showcase their latest products, innovations and collaborative approaches.  

Their trade fair presentation will be complemented by a diverse programme of accompanying events featuring both road shows and exclusive matchmaking events that promote targeted exchanges and the establishment of concrete cooperative partnerships.
