OFC is the premier international event in optical communications, renowned for its high standards, large scale, long history, professional focus, and significant influence. This year's conference attracted over 15,000 professional attendees and more than 700 exhibitors and featured sectors such as AI-driven innovation, data center technology, and quantum communication.

At the exhibition, a national-level "Little Giant" enterprise from OVC presented its high-speed optical modules (800G+), low-power data center interconnect solutions, and other advanced products. On the first day of the exhibition, the booth received over 300 procurement inquiries from buyers across Europe, North America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.

An official stated, "This exhibition provided us with more opportunities for concentrated communication with customers. We entered detailed negotiations with some buyers and secured intention orders worth $5 million on the first day."

OVC set up a "Wuhan – Optics Valley of China" area, offering enterprises free exhibition space and setup services. This aimed to collectively showcase the development of OVC's optoelectronic information industry and support the global reach of "OVC-made" products.

Since the beginning of this year, OVC has organized "OVC-made Products Go Global" activities. These include organizing enterprises to participate in international exhibitions as a group, encouraging independent participation in international trade expos, and hosting global partner conferences for leading foreign trade enterprises, all to accelerate the pace of enterprises "going global".
