Shanghai Superconductor at CIIF2025: Wins CIIF Award, Exhibited together with Controlled Nuclear Fusion Company

The 25th China International Industrial Fair (CIIF), themed "New Industrial Qualities, Intelligent Manufacturing Without Borders," opened at the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Shanghai) on September 23rd. The opening ceremony featured the announcement and presentation of the CIIF AWARD and the CIIF SPECIAL AWARD.

Shanghai Superconductor wins the CIIF AWARD, One of Only 10 Awardees Among Tens of Thousands of Exhibits!

The CIIF represents the highest-level national industrial product exhibition in China, and its awards hold significant prestige within the manufacturing sector and for high-tech products.

Shanghai Superconductor's high-temperature superconducting (HTS) tape was honored with a CIIF Award following a rigorous multi-stage selection process. Being one of only ten products to receive this distinction among tens of thousands of entries positioned Shanghai Superconductor as a standout exhibitor in the New Materials section. This accolade serves as a powerful endorsement of the company's technological expertise in HTS materials and its proven capacity for high-volume, reliable supply.

Controlled Nuclear Fusion Projects Prominently Featured at CIIF; Shanghai Superconductor Shares Stage with Fusion, with HTS Supporting Fusion Commercialization

CIIF2025 featured the first appearances of multiple controlled nuclear fusion devices, including the "HL-4 Tokamak" planned by China Fusion Energy (China Fusion Energy Co., Ltd), which will utilize all-high-temperature superconducting materials and aims to achieve commercial power generation by 2050. Also present was Shanghai private fusion company Energy Singularity, which exhibited the world's first all-high-temperature superconducting tokamak, "HH 70," and the world's highest magnetic field strength for large-bore D-shaped HTS magnet, "Jingtian Magnet".

The HTS tapes produced by Shanghai Superconductor, serving as a crucial supporting material for the future miniaturization and commercialization of controlled nuclear fusion devices, were featured alongside these prominent projects. Shanghai Superconductor's products were simultaneously displayed across key exhibition zones including the National New Industrialization and Major Achievements Exhibition of the 14th Five-Year Plan, and the New Material Industry Show. These displays comprehensively demonstrated the advanced production techniques, scaling progress, reliable mass-production capabilities, and diverse application potential of Shanghai Superconductor's HTS tape.

MORE: A Series of Exchange Activities

The CIIF facilitated valuable dialogue with key stakeholders. A delegation led by Director Wang Yan of the Ministry of Science and Technology's Nuclear Fusion Development Center, General Manager Zhang Libo of China Fusion Company, and officials from the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission visited Shanghai Superconductor. Discussions focused on the company's manufacturing status, expansion timeline, and supply chain logistics, including its successful contributions to domestic and international fusion projects. The delegates encouraged Shanghai Superconductor to continue strengthening its role as a key materials supplier to support the robust and sustainable growth of the controlled nuclear fusion industry.

Concurrently, Mr. Ma Tao, Chairman of Shanghai Superconductor, was invited to participate in a series of events including the "CIIF Talk" live broadcast and an interview with Phoenix Network. He shared the challenging journey of Shanghai Superconductor and HTS materials as a new material and technology, progressing from laboratory R&D to large-scale, stable mass production. He also outlooked the application prospects and far-reaching impact of HTS technology in areas such as urban power grids, clean energy, and high-speed transportation.
