Fair to focus on transformation

INNOVATION, transformation and strategic new industries will be key words at the China International Industry Fair 2011, which opens in Shanghai next Tuesday.

The fair has attracted 1,869 exhibitors from 25 countries, who will showcase their latest technology and products. More than 100,000 visitors are expected during the five-day show at the Shanghai New International Expo Center.

This year, two new sections - a new-energy auto show and a China aerospace and aviation technology show - will join the previous six sessions, including industry automation show and energy show, at the fair, spread over an area of 150,000 square meters, the largest in exhibition's 13-year history.

"The fair will focus on state economic restructuring and the development of strategic new industries," Sha Hailin, chairman of the Shanghai Commerce Commission, said at a press briefing yesterday.

Since its launch, the fair has been aiming to show China's transformation from a big manufacturer into a powerful one. At this year's fair, the AVIC Commercial Aircraft Engine Co will make public its self-developed engine of China's jumbo jet for the first time. Japan's Omron, a global leader in factory automation, will also exhibit its high-performance SYSMAC system.
