ICONIC Tesla cars will shine at the China (Shanghai) Information Technology Fair between April 24 and 26, which is the China’s only nation-level technology trade fair.

Visitors are able to see the Tesla pure electric cars with racing body and ecological concept. But the specific models of Tesla cars coming to Shanghai haven’t been decided, according to the organizers including the Ministry of Commerce and Shanghai government.

Besides Tesla, latest technologies and products will be in the show on biotechnology, new materials, new energy, wearable device, intelligent manufacturing & next-generation IT and energy conservation and environmental protection.

“More top foreign firms and organizations will come to the fair because it offers a unique platform of tech trade with standard IPR (intellectual property right) protection,” said Jiang Xuegeng, an official at the Shanghai Commission of Commerce.

Fortune 500 firms Omron, BASF and Siemens will attend the fair, which occupy more than 35,000 square meters in the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center, 5,000 square meters more compared with last year.

It was the second year for Shanghai to hold the annual tech trade fair.
Shanghai has its local advantage to hold the event thanks to strong tech and research background.

In 2013, the tech trade volume hit 746.9 billion yuan (US$122.4 billion) in Shanghai, compared with 700 million yuan in 1987, according to the Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality.
