Amgen

I’m delighted to greet participants at the 7th China International Import Expo.

This is the third year that Amgen has been present at this important event.

We look forward to showcasing our leadership in biotechnology and our capabilities in research and development, especially involving rare disease, inflammation, general medicine, and oncology.

At Amgen, we’re confident in our business in China, and we have a long-term commitment to this important market.

China is a vital growth driver not only for our company but for the entire biotechnology sector. Innovation is at the heart of this year’s Expo, and it’s at the heart of Amgen. Using the latest technologies and capabilities, our scientists are pushing the boundaries of biology to discover and develop new medicines that can make a big difference for patients.

As China unleashes new quality productive forces in its drive for reform and innovation, we will continue working with our Chinese partners to bring to patients’ new innovative medicines that can help them live longer, healthier lives.

Thanks to China’s commitment to opening up, Amgen is well positioned to promote healthy aging, improve public health, and champion a “predict and prevent” approach to disease that can advance the “Healthy China 2030” vision.

bayer

For Bayer, a seventh-time participant and “old friend” of the CIIE, China has always been a strategic market.

The 7th CIIE is a great opportunity for Bayer to showcase our innovative products and cutting-edge technology while engaging with a wide spectrum of partners on this one-of-a-kind platform.

This year, Bayer will take our bold mission, “Health for All, Hunger for None” as the theme and present innovations from our three divisions: Pharmaceuticals (and Radiology), Consumer Health, and Crop Science, and continue exhibiting in two subsections, with a total space of record-high 800 square meters.

Whether in the fields of Pharmaceuticals, Consumer Health, or Crop Science, and from both research and development as well as market perspectives, China is one of Bayer’s most important strategic pillars.

Having been in China for over 140 years, Bayer is unwavering in our commitment to Chinese patients, consumers, and growers. I am also deeply impressed by the vitality and resilience of the Chinese market.

Bayer will continue to deepen our presence in China by enhancing local production capabilities and actively seeking collaboration opportunities with local research institutions and innovative companies, aiming to support China’s national strategies, including Healthy China, Rural Revitalization, and sustainable development.

fonterra

As the CEO of Fonterra, I’m proud to be representing Fonterra at CIIE this year. It’s the second time that I’ve attended and Fonterra’s 7th consecutive year at the expo.

CIIE provides a great opportunity for Fonterra and other New Zealand exporters to develop relationships and form partnerships.

Underpinning Fonterra and our customers shared successes, here in China, is the strong relationship between our two countries. CIIE provides a platform for Fonterra to further collaborate with our partners in China.

Fonterra continues to invest in innovation in China’s dairy sector. We have six application centres in China, focusing on developing new applications for dairy products and helping our customers adapt to market trends.

Fonterra is committed to partnering with local players to grow with China’s dairy industry. CIIE is a great platform for Fonterra to showcase our high-quality dairy products and demonstrate our strategic focuses on sustainability, nutrition health, and locally driven innovation.

As China continues to open to the outside world, CIIE provides a platform to help importers like Fonterra to expand their operations in China. We are committed to contributing to China’s high-quality development by introducing more advanced dairy solutions to support people’s health and wellbeing.

sgs

We consider CIIE the best platform to connect with business partners, government authorities, industry peers, and customers from various sectors.

We appreciate the opportunities provided by CIIE to feel the pulse of the China market by listening to the voices of Chinese partners and customers.

From both business development and market intelligence perspectives, participating in CIIE has been an extremely rewarding experience for us in the past.

China has always been a key strategic market to SGS. As the global leader in the testing, inspection, and certification industry, SGS was warmly invited to the CIIE from 2018.

This will be our sixth year participating in CIIE. Our theme this year is: Building trust through quality and sustainability. We are extremely excited to showcase our most innovative service solutions designed to help our customers improve the quality, compliance, and sustainability performance of their organizations and products, such as SGS green marks, low-GI certification, green & low-carbon building certification, digital trust solutions, etc.

These sustainability certifications, like green marks and low-GI certification, strongly align with China’s push for a green economy. By emphasizing these certifications, SGS helps companies enhance their sustainability credibility, appealing to eco-conscious Chinese consumers.

CIIE is an incredible stage for companies from all over the world to demonstrate their best products and services. Therefore, it will allow us to engage with the best people from all sorts of professions.

We wish to open more constructive dialogues with partners from governments, academic organizations, industrial associations, and customers from different sectors.

Welcome to the China International Import Expo.

We’ve taken part in CIIE since its inception and we’re honored to return for the seventh year.

A milestone year, in fact, as it marks the 60th anniversary of Sino-French relations. As a company rooted in France, with a 40-year presence in China, we’re delighted to be featured this year in both the Healthcare Exhibition and the French National Pavilion.

The China International Import Expo is a pivotal platform for China’s high-level opening-up and a bridge between China and the world. LEGOLAND Shanghai Resort has been an old friend of the CIIE, and our project agreement was signed at the 2020 CIIE.

LEGOLAND has had a long-standing connection with the event, and each year we attend, we have new gains and new insights. China is the world’s second-largest theme park market and is showing continuous growth, and Chinese consumers are passionate about theme parks.

The China market has a very favorable business environment and is a strategic market for Merlin Entertainments Group. Thanks to the dynamic development of the Chinese market, its economic vitality has added impetus to the world economy. We believe that as China continues to open up, international businesses in China will explore more development opportunities.

This character will also appear in the globally debuting LEGO MONKIE KID themed area at LEGOLAND Shanghai Resort when it opens, conveying courage, and friendship, and fostering kids’ imagination and creativity.

The popular attraction of LEGOLAND, The Dragon Coaster, is featured at the booth, bringing more surprises and expectations to visitors.
