The 18th Optics Valley of China International Optoelectronic Exposition and Forum was held from Oct 27-29, 2021 in Wuhan, Central China’s Hubei province.

The OVC Expo continues to deepen its specialization, marketization, internationalization and branding. Today, it is one of the most influential professional optoelectronic exhibitions in China, and an important event that allows the world to follow the latest developments in China's optoelectronic industry.
