A Broad Showcase of Education Technology

WORLDDIDAC ASIA 2026 covers a wide range of education sectors, including early childhood education, primary and secondary education, vocational education, special education and higher education.

International exhibitors such as Asia Boutique Group Limited, DN'G Technology, Fischertechnik GmbH and LD Didactic GmbH are presenting their latest teaching equipment and educational technologies.

Chinese exhibitors are showcasing a broad range of solutions, including smart vocational training equipment, laboratory systems, AI-powered teaching hardware and software, smart campus solutions, and sports and campus facility products.

The exhibition also features dedicated areas for emerging technologies and practical applications, including science experiment demonstrations, innovative education projects and interactive technology experiences.

ONEW Showcases AR Welding Training Technology

Wuhan ONEW, a Chinese manufacturer specialising in welding simulation and vocational skills training technology, is also exhibiting at WORLDDIDAC ASIA 2026.

During the exhibition, ONEW presented its ONEW-360 AR Training System and had the opportunity to exchange ideas with visitors and education professionals from different countries.

The AR-based system is designed to support practical welding education and skills assessment in vocational schools and training centres. By combining simulated welding practice with real-time performance feedback, it helps learners develop welding skills in a safer and more controlled training environment.

ONEW is committed to helping vocational schools and industrial training centres develop welding talent more safely, economically and efficiently, while reducing the consumption of materials and other costs associated with conventional welding training.

Connecting Global Education Markets

International business matchmaking is another key feature of this year's event. Dedicated procurement sessions are being held for markets including Nigeria, Indonesia, international buyers and the domestic Chinese market. Supporting services such as translation, export supply-chain assistance and overseas compliance consulting are also available to help exhibitors explore international business opportunities.

As education continues to become increasingly digital worldwide, education equipment and training technology are playing an important role in supporting the development of modern skills and vocational education.

As an established international education equipment exhibition in the Asia-Pacific region, WORLDDIDAC ASIA 2026 provides a platform for companies, educators and industry professionals to exchange ideas, explore new technologies and build international partnerships.

For ONEW, the exhibition is also an opportunity to connect with international partners and explore new possibilities for bringing digital and immersive welding training solutions to vocational education and industrial training markets around the world.
