China Hi-Tech Fair (高交会/深圳高交会) is a long-running, government-approved technology exhibition held in Shenzhen since 1999, positioned as a national marketplace for showcasing and commercializing high-tech achievements across many sectors. In the context of digital humans, recent editions have treated digital humans as both an exhibition format and an exhibited capability: the 25th fair was reported as pioneering a “digital human livestream” approach for event explanation and promotion, aligning the show itself with platform-native dissemination. By the 26th fair, digital humans were framed as deployable services, including an “AI digital human 24-hour livestream recruitment” initiative run by Kuaishou with Shenzhen Talent Group , and exhibitors highlighted interactive digital-human systems as part of booth demonstrations. The 27th fair (scheduled for November 14–16, 2025, at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center) continued to present digital humans as a mainstream interactive modality, with reporting noting visitors conversing with digital humans on-site, while also serving as a launch venue for Bangyan Technology’s NuwaAI V1.0, described as enabling “one sentence” creation of task-executing agent digital humans—an explicit shift from display-oriented avatars toward workflow execution. The fair’s institutional recognition mechanisms also reflect this positioning: an awards list for the 27th edition includes an “interactive digital human” entry associated with Shenzhen Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (深圳市人工智能与机器人研究院) , indicating that digital-human systems are treated as evaluable technical achievements alongside other AI infrastructure.
