The Interclean Shanghai exhibition (organised by RAI, organiser of Interclean Amsterdam) took place last week in China and has been hailed a great success. Industry professionals from more than 80 countries gathered to see over 150 exhibitors and attend the conferences and seminars featuring over 40 speakers.

"The Chinese professional cleaning and hygiene industry is undergoing a remarkable transformation, driven by the rapid adoption of AI-powered solutions and a strong commitment to sustainability through ESG initiatives," said director of Interclean Robert Stelling.

"As technology advances at an unprecedented pace, China is not only setting new benchmarks for innovation but is also creating vast opportunities for investors to capitalise on cutting-edge products and solutions. With an increasing demand for cost-effective, high-quality cleaning products, the show served as a vital gateway for international companies looking to tap into the dynamic Chinese cleaning market."

Events during the show included Interclean China Elite Awards, Cleaning and Infection Control in China's Senior Care Facilities, China Urban Environmental Sanitation Cleaning Industry Meeting, International Exchange Meeting for Buyers, Healthcare Demonstrations, Hospitality Green Cleaning Development Summit and various Meet The Expert sessions.

Also taking place was the Healthcare Cleaning Forum (HCF), co-organised with Fudan Hospital Facility Service Institute. This year's focus was on comparing and fostering mutual learning between China and the Netherlands.

The next Interclean Shanghai takes place from 22 - 24 October 2025. Interclean Amsterdam next takes place from April 14-17 2026.
