Procurement opportunities all over as 7th CIIE kicks off today
Print Edition
The 7th China International Import Expo, which kicks off today with the theme of “New Era, Shared Future,” again demonstrates China’s opening-up stance to the world.
An important initiative for China to open its market to the world, the CIIE has functioned as a platform to promote investment, international procurement, exchanges and cooperation since 2018.
The overall exhibition area exceeds 420,000 square meters, with 152 countries, regions and international organizations, as well as over 3,496 exhibitors participating in national and corporate exhibitions, more than the previous expos.
The number of exhibitors from the world’s top 500 and industry-leading enterprises is also a record, with 297 taking part, among which 186 enterprises and institutions have attended every CIIE.
A materials zone has been set up for the first time this year, covering electronic materials, biomaterials, specialty materials, and other high-value-added products of the global high-end manufacturing industry chain, with Invista, Nippon, Advantest Corp and other companies participating for the first time.
The automotive exhibition area features unmanned driving, the low-altitude economy and new-energy storage as highlights, focusing on how clean and intelligent mobility in the new era could benefit both the public and the environment.
“The CIIE this year will debut more than 400 flagship products, technologies and services, with a total of 780 government groups coming to the exhibition hall for procurement, which is unprecedented,” said Shanghai Vice Mayor Hua Yuan.
There is also a special zone for aging and health, bringing together cutting-edge technology and products and services for the elderly, helping to release the new momentum of the “silver economy.”
The Hongqiao International Economic Forum, which is held annually in conjunction with the CIIE, will run on a bigger scale this year. As usual, the World Openness Report and the World Openness Index will be released at the forum.
In addition to the Shanghai City Investment Promotion Conference and two sub-forums, nearly 100 round tables and conferences are to be held until Friday.
An intelligent assistant, the AI digital service helper, is on hand to serve participants, realizing full navigation both inside and outside the exhibition halls.
Shanghai Customs has introduced 18 measures to simplify application and reviewing procedures and has 119 special windows and channels at 26 major ports in Shanghai to improve the efficiency of customs clearance of exhibits.
In addition, 117 luggage storage lockers have been set up at the metro stations of the National Exhibition and Convention Center, the expo venue.
