The 13th Gas Turbine Focus Conference and Exhibition 2026 (GTF 2026) will be held from May 12 to May 14, 2026, at Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center. Recognized as Asia’s largest and most influential event dedicated to gas turbines and aero engines, GTF serves as a premier gateway connecting the global propulsion community with the rapidly expanding China and Asia-Pacific energy and aviation markets. Guided by the theme “From Innovation to Application: Co-Creating the Future of Aviation Propulsion and Gas Turbines,” the event integrates high-level conferences, professional exhibitions, and strategic matchmaking to drive global collaboration and technological advancement.

Exhibition highlights:

• Four Strategic Core Tracks – Covering heavy-duty gas turbines in future power systems, small and medium gas turbine markets, commercial aero engine innovation, and low-altitude economy propulsion systems.

• Conference + Exhibition + Matchmaking Model – A comprehensive platform combining technical forums, supply-demand meetings, and product showcases.

• High-Level Closed-Door Strategic Sessions – Invitation-only discussions on supply chain resilience, carbon neutrality, and cross-border cooperation.

• Aerospace & Gas Turbine Supply-Demand Matchmaking – 100+ curated bilateral meetings connecting 90+ key buyers with qualified suppliers.
