CINEVE 2026: BMW, Geely, and Top Suppliers Gather — What is Being Discussed at This Conference in Beijing?

A Major Conference is About to Take Place! The China International New Energy Vehicle Supply Chain Conference & Going Global Forum will be held on March 13, 2026, at the China International Exhibition Center (Shunyi Hall) Conference Center in Beijing. At that time, key figures from the vehicle manufacturing, parts, software, investment & financing sectors, as well as government departments, will gather to discuss the practical path and technological evolution of “China's Supply Chain Going Global.”

1. Why is This Conference Worth Your Time?

• Practical Methodologies, Not Just Theories: The topics are focused on actionable business strategies. From how suppliers can meet the new requirements of OEMs like BMW, to how Geely’s push for software quality management (ASQMS) will reshape procurement rules, and how the supply chain can leverage open databases and financial tools for global expansion — each topic directly relates to orders and collaboration opportunities.

• A Dual Focus on International and Local Perspectives: The conference will feature global experts like Dr. Johann Wieland, former CEO of BMW Brilliance, alongside industry practitioners and academic authorities (such as Professor Li Yin from Fudan University and Zhang Yongwei from EV100), offering both a global viewpoint and practical, actionable strategies tailored to the Chinese market.

• A "Closed-loop" Agenda Across Technology, Standards, and Capital: The discussions will span from the technological evolution of ADAS and smart cockpits, to battery safety and quality, to how capital can support overseas mergers and market expansion. Attending the conference will provide an efficient platform for connecting the four key areas of R&D, procurement, compliance, and investment & financing.

2. Highlights Delivery | Key Sessions You Absolutely Don’t Want to Miss

• Keynote: Growth Strategies Amid the Transformation Wave — Xie Yu, President of Yasen, will reveal the path to turning public relations efforts into a business growth engine through a “three-in-one” approach of platform, partners, and execution.

• Plenary Session: Dr. Johann Wieland — With his executive perspective from Central European cooperation, Dr. Wieland will discuss how to create long-term value for suppliers in the global competition.

• Cars.Codes.Cashflow Special Session — Focused on Orders (Cars), Software and Data (Codes), and the Capital and Services Supporting Global Expansion (Cashflow). This session will feature hands-on insights from top-tier companies like BMW Brilliance, Horizon Robotics Europe, and Desay SV Europe.

• Wave of Standardization — How Geely’s ASQMS is set to change supplier compliance standards and the competitive landscape. Experts from academia and industry will dissect the next round of procurement rule changes.

• Battery and Quality Links — Wang Fang, Chief Scientist at CATARC, will present on “Quality First: Battery Safety and Innovation,” a must-attend session for battery and BMS-related manufacturers.

3. One Piece of Advice for Supply Chain Companies / Tech Teams / Investors 

• Suppliers: Bring proof of your “replicable modular capabilities” and “compliance certifications” — here, you’ll have direct access to purchasing and engineering decision-makers.

• Tech Companies: Showcase your open databases, software tools, and interoperability capabilities; openness and standardization now mean quicker access to OEM supply chains.

• Investors: Focus on whether “technology can scale” and if it aligns with Chinese standards (such as ASQMS) — these factors will determine future valuations.
