CPSE 2025 (20th edition) confirmed 1,100+ exhibitors across 110,000 sqm with 150,000+ expected professional visitors.
- Notably, dominant incumbents Hikvision, Dahua, Uniview, and Huawei did not exhibit at the show floor, instead hosting private invitation-only events nearby — reflecting a broader industry shift toward solution-led, relationship-driven engagement over mass-market booth presence.
- The visitor base was approximately 90% domestic Chinese, with international attendance skewing toward Southeast Asia, India, Central Asia, and the Middle East.

Why it matters
CPSE is the single largest procurement and business-development gateway into China's public-safety and smart-city supply chain, drawing 150,000+ professional buyers from 110+ countries and connecting global security manufacturers with Chinese municipal authorities and systems integrators.
- For dual-use technology suppliers — particularly in AI, UAS, edge computing, and ISR — it provides unmatched visibility into Chinese government procurement priorities and competitive intelligence on domestic champions.
- Western and allied-nation defence SMEs and primes should monitor CPSE closely as a leading indicator of PRC security-technology export pipelines and capability development.

Annual Meeting of the Supply Chain
Lévis / Canada
This is the primary procurement-facing event for Quebec's naval supply chain, where federal ministers have used the platform to announce National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS) contracts and submarine procurement updates — making it a critical intelligence touchpoint for any company seeking Davie, Royal Canadian Navy, or Canadian Coast Guard business. With ~750 participants and ~65 exhibitors, it is compact enough for SMEs and startups to gain direct access to prime contractors such as Chantier Davie and Thales Canada. Pre-scheduled B2B meetings with national and international outsourcers give exhibitors a structured path to new contracts.
