Music China 2025 & Music X – Where Music Meets Technology

In 2025, Music China returns to Shanghai with an expanded focus on the fusion of music and technology. This year, the show proudly presents Music X – the Music Technology and Applications Conference – as a centerpiece of the event. Music China, now a UFI-approved international exhibition, is one of the world’s largest and most influential music industry gatherings. By fostering cooperation across all links of the industry chain, from manufacturers and AV professionals to system integrators and studios, Music China 2025 aims to enhance the competitiveness of China’s music tech industry and build an international exchange platform.
At Music X 2025, attendees will be immersed in new musical possibilities. Music X showcases innovative music technologies, explores emerging music consumption scenarios, and inspires musicians, content creators, and music lovers to envision the future of music-making.
The goal is to lower the barriers to making music, empowering everyone to create and play in new ways.
Music X 2025 Highlights

Here are some key features and activities you can expect at Music X 2025:

It’s an exclusive opportunity to see how MIDI is evolving and to meet the experts behind these advancements.

Testimonials
Participants from last year’s event had great things to say about their Music X experience:
“From my observation, I see unlimited potential in these products. They empower everyone who loves to create and perform music to make truly expressive sounds in any way they want. In my mind I often think: Generation Z is changing the world — there are a million things we haven’t done, so just you wait.”
— Brand Ambassador
“From the early Music Lab days to now Music X, it gets better and more professional each year. Beyond the quality and service of the booths themselves, the overall scale and demand of innovative music tech companies at home and abroad are expanding and becoming clearer. I hope more companies from around the world will participate so the event can grow to the size of multiple halls.”

“Thanks for all your help, and let’s take a brief break and then start our planning for next year for a bigger and better Music China presence.”
