Over 2,200 businesses from around the world are shaking hands 🤝 and cutting deals at the 30th China Lanzhou Investment and Trade Fair this week! Held in Gansu Province’s capital, this mega-event has already secured contracts worth 604 billion yuan (that’s $84.7B 💰) across hot sectors like digital tech, green energy, and agri-innovation.
🌍 Representatives from 23 countries, including Belarus and Uzbekistan, are networking at the fair, which wraps up Wednesday. Think of it as Coachella for global trade—but with fewer flower crowns and more power suits. 🕴️✨
Since its launch in 1993, the fair has become a key driver for China’s Belt and Road partnerships, bridging economies from Asia to Latin America. This year’s edition is bigger than ever, with 40,000+ visitors exploring biz opportunities—up from 1,600 companies last year!
From robotic startups to sustainable farming solutions, Lanzhou’s proving it’s not just about noodles (though we’d still recommend a bowl 🍜). Ready for the next big economic wave? This fair’s got the blueprint. 🚀
