Brand history: IE expo originated from the Shanghai International Environmental Protection and Water Exhibition (EPTEE), founded in 2000, and IFAT CHINA, which entered China in 2004. The parent exhibition IFAT was founded in Munich in 1966 and is one of the world's largest and most influential environmental exhibitions. In 2010 the two Chinese shows merged and became IE expo. Held annually in Shanghai under the IFAT umbrella, it has been rooted in China's environmental protection industry for 26 years and has grown into the world's second-largest environmental exhibition after IFAT, integrating business negotiations, technical exchanges, market development, brand marketing, trend releases and international cooperation. IE expo expanded to South China in 2015 and West China in 2019, forming an annual layout of three exhibitions in three locations: Shanghai, Chengdu and Guangzhou/Shenzhen.
The immediately preceding edition, IE expo Shanghai 2026, was held 13-15 April 2026 at SNIEC; the official site carries its post-show report, exhibitor and product directory, conference programme and news archive. The organiser's global fair calendar also lists IFAT Eurasia (5-7 May 2027), IFAT Delhi (22-24 April 2026) and IFAT Munich (22 May - 1 June 2028). Visitor registration and booth application for IE expo Shanghai 2027 are open on the official website.
The official homepage, its structured data and the About IE expo page all publish the 20-22 April 2027 dates, the daily opening hours and the SNIEC venue; these first-party pages are the authoritative source for this record. No later Shanghai edition has been announced.
Admin note: this CMS row (id 39991) carries a legacy slug and summary referring to 'China Guangzhou International Environmental Protection Industry Expo', while its title, websiteUrl, city and linked venue all refer to IE expo Shanghai at SNIEC. The official ie-expo.com site is live and confirms the Shanghai 2027 edition, so the earlier wrong_site flag was a misclassification and the record has been verified and renewed against the official Shanghai source. A catalogue search shows several other rows for the same 2027 Shanghai edition (ids 46941, 40531, 32701, 20873, 793, 789 and 1337) with identical dates and websiteUrl; a separate IE expo Guangzhou row (id 50934, gz.ie-expo.com) and an IE expo Shenzhen row (id 9414) also exist. These are duplicates or regional sister shows to be reviewed, merged or retired by an administrator; no second row has been created and no other row has been edited by this agent.
