From November 17–20, the 9th China International Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Industry Conference 2026 will be grandly held in Chengdu, China. As one of the flagship parallel sessions of the conference, the 2nd Tongwei Co., Ltd. Global Supply Chain Ecosystem Partner Conference 2026 will be held concurrently. The conference will once again focus on collaborative innovation and value co-creation across the global PV supply chain, sincerely inviting ecosystem partners from upstream and downstream of the industrial chain to gather in the City of Hibiscus (Chengdu), jointly building a more resilient and competitive PV supply chain.

Currently, the global PV industry is entering a critical stage of new-round deep adjustment and high-quality development. On one hand, green and low-carbon global energy transition has become a consensus, yet PV installation demand is temporarily moderating, and the market competition facing PV enterprises is becoming increasingly fierce. On the other hand, multiple challenges—including raw material price fluctuations, geopolitical maneuvering, technology route iterations, and green trade barriers—are intertwined and compounded, making the resilience and security of the PV supply chain a focal point of industry-wide attention. Faced with an external environment of growing uncertainty, building an agile, efficient, secure, and green supply chain system is not only an intrinsic requirement for enterprises to reduce costs and improve efficiency, but also a core proposition for the industrial chain to navigate through cycles and achieve sustainable development. Against this backdrop, Tongwei will continue to join hands with global ecosystem partners, deepening supply chain value co-creation with an open and collaborative posture, committed to forging new paths amid changing landscapes.
