From November 19 to 22, the 2026 Brain-Computer Interface Conference will be held in Changping District, Beijing. Under the theme "Chips Link Brain, Changping Sparks Industry", the conference aims to establish a national platform for industry exchange, bringing together competitions, a main forum, parallel forums, exhibitions showcasing industry advances, product launches and the signing of project agreements.

The Research Report on the Innovative Development of Brain-Computer Interfaces (2026) will be released at the main forum. Compiled jointly by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology and the Brain Computer Interface Industrial Alliance, the report analyzes data from nearly 1,000 enterprises worldwide to support industry decision-making, research and investment.

Ten parallel forums will focus on hot topics such as devices and materials, algorithms, standardization, clinical applications, compliance and regulation, and innovation among young people, while discussing industry bottlenecks and exploring possible solutions. A dedicated launch event for innovative products will be held alongside the forums to help bring cutting-edge technologies to market.

The final of the Brain-Computer Interface Innovation Competition will also take place during the conference. At the accompanying innovation exhibition, nearly 100 exhibitors from across the supply chain will display core components, brain-computer interface equipment and real-world applications in fields such as medical rehabilitation and industrial safety.
