The world's largest consumer electronics and IT trade show, IFA 2026, held in Berlin, Germany, was not merely a showcase for new products. This year's exhibition marked a declaration of entry into an era where AI transcends being embedded in home appliances to integrally operating them. Simultaneously, Chinese companies, comprising nearly half of participating enterprises, brought their technological competitiveness to the forefront in displays, smart homes, and robotics, moving to secure leadership in the global market. IFA 2026 is projected to be recorded as an event that distinctly revealed two major currents: "the opening of the AI agent era" and "China's manufacturing technical hegemony challenge."
