59th CIFF Guangzhou: Power the Next. Celebrating 30 years, CIFF Guangzhou looks ahead to a new era of design, innovation and global business

GUANGZHOU, China, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The 59th China International Furniture Fair (CIFF Guangzhou) will be held in Guangzhou Pazhou in two phases, on March 18–21 and March 28–31, 2027, marking an important milestone: 30 years since the foundation of CIFF.

Under the theme "Power the Next", the 2027 edition will celebrate three decades of continuous evolution while looking firmly towards the future. Across 850,000 sqm, CIFF Guangzhou will once again bring together the entire furniture industry, connecting design, new lifestyles, advanced manufacturing and global business.

The new edition builds on the strong results achieved in 2026, when the 57th CIFF Guangzhou welcomed 353,106 professional visitors from 185 countries and regions, including a record 64,291 overseas attendees, up 13.2% year on year, alongside more than 5,100 brands from 36 countries and regions.

A strong foundation for an edition designed to take CIFF Guangzhou's international development one step further.

Intelligence and sustainability will run across the entire 59th CIFF Guangzhou — from smart homes and workplaces to advanced manufacturing, new materials and increasingly sustainable approaches to production and exhibition design.

Design and new lifestyles

During Phase 1, March 18–21, Home Furniture will offer a comprehensive overview of contemporary living, bringing together leading brands and new products across high-end design, whole-house customization, upholstery, living and dining furniture.

Original design will remain a major focus, with a new Designer Sourcing Zone creating direct connections between brands, designers, manufacturers and buyers.

At the same time, CIFF will continue to explore some of the fastest-evolving areas of contemporary living, including smart furniture, healthy and elderly-friendly living, pet living and new retail.

Homedecor & Hometextile will present a broad spectrum of interior decoration and textile solutions, while Outdoor Furniture, Sunshade & Leisure will showcase the evolution of outdoor living through furniture, sunshade systems, materials and leisure products.

New scenarios for work and commercial spaces

During Phase 2, March 28–31, Office & Commercial Space will explore the transformation of workplaces and public environments, with particular attention to design, wellbeing, flexibility, smart technologies and sustainability.

From integrated office solutions and seating — including a dedicated E-sports Seating Zone — to expanded solutions for education and hospitality environments, the exhibition will present new approaches to the rapidly changing ways in which people work, interact and experience shared spaces. 

Smart manufacturing and material innovation

Completing the entire furniture supply chain, CIFM/interzum guangzhou will bring together leading companies in furniture machinery, hardware and materials.

Automation, flexible production, smart home hardware and innovative materials will demonstrate how technology is transforming furniture manufacturing, improving efficiency, customization and product quality while supporting the industry's transition towards more sustainable production models.

Strengthening global connections

Internationalisation will remain at the heart of CIFF Guangzhou's strategy.

Building on the record international attendance achieved in 2026, CIFF will further develop its relationships with international buyers, professional communities, industry associations, designers and media, while strengthening sourcing, matchmaking and networking opportunities.

Online and offline initiatives will increasingly connect exhibitors and buyers before, during and after the fair, reinforcing CIFF Guangzhou's role as a year-round platform for international trade and industry exchange.

30 years of evolution. The next chapter begins

Over three decades, CIFF has evolved alongside the furniture industry itself, becoming a global platform connecting Design Trends, Global Trade and the Complete Supply Chain. Today, this evolution extends well beyond the eight exhibition days.

Through its "8+365" service model, CIFF connects the physical exhibition with continuous sourcing, matchmaking, industry insights and cross-border collaboration, creating new opportunities for exhibitors and buyers throughout the year.

With "Power the Next", the 59th CIFF Guangzhou will celebrate this journey by looking decisively ahead — towards new design cultures, smarter technologies, sustainable development, changing lifestyles and increasingly interconnected global markets.

59th CIFF Guangzhou: Power the Next. Celebrating 30 years, CIFF Guangzhou looks ahead to a new era of design, innovation and global business

SINGAPORE, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Midea Building Technologies (MBT) will participate in Data Centre World Asia 2026 on September 29–30 at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. At Booth T10, MBT will present three highlights: the industry's first power-cooling hyperconverged architecture, a full-stack AI data centre (AIDC) cooling solution with three flagship products, and strategic collaboration with Keppel. An Omdia white paper commissioned by Midea will be released on the afternoon of September 29.

As AI workloads push rack densities far beyond CPU-era designs, data centres face two critical challenges: bringing sufficient power into the facility, and removing heat efficiently once it is there. Conventional designs treat the two as separate engineering disciplines — an approach that becomes harder to sustain as rack power climbs.

To address them, MBT will launch the AIDC Converged Infrastructure White Paper, developed with CLOU Electronics. This white paper puts forward a future trend with hyperconverged architecture as the core. This architecture integrates electrical power, energy storage, magnetic-bearing cooling sources and liquid-cooling CDU systems into a unified stack. By coordinating power, storage and cooling at the system level, it provides a technical pathway for high-density, high-efficiency and low-carbon AI data centre development.

Another key highlight will be MBT's full-stack AIDC cooling solution, connecting cooling source, distribution and terminal heat rejection for high-density, high-temperature and water-constrained computing environments. The Magnetic CDU serves as a core product: by integrating a magnetic-bearing cooling source with coolant distribution in one system, it is designed to reduce equipment footprint by up to 70%, shorten deployment time and support system PUE below 1.2 under suitable operating conditions. The Air-Cooled Magnetic Bearing Centrifugal Chiller, with a COP of up to 5.4, and the Industrial-Grade CDU, offering 2.6 MW of cooling capacity, will complete the lineup.

In addition, MBT is strategically cooperating with Keppel to present the iconic Gui'an Midea Cloud Data Centre project. Combining MBT's HVAC capabilities with Keppel's digital infrastructure expertise, the project delivers up to 7,654 hours of free cooling annually at a stable PUE below 1.2 — a practical example of energy-efficient design and operation at scale.

MBT invites customers, partners and industry professionals to Booth T10 to explore its system-level thermal management innovations for the high-density AI era.
