Shanghai is gearing up to host the 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE) from November 5–10, and it’s already making waves! This year’s event is set to smash attendance records, with 297 Fortune Global 500 companies and industry leaders confirmed—the most in the expo’s history. Over 152 countries and regions will participate, proving China’s magnetic pull as a global trade powerhouse.
\"The CIIE showcases China’s commitment to high-level opening-up and shared growth opportunities,\" said Tang Wenhong, Assistant Minister of Commerce. From tech innovations to sustainable solutions, the expo will debut thousands of products and foster cross-border partnerships.
Since 2018, the event has driven over $420 billion in intended turnover, with foreign businesses expanding R&D centers and factories in China. This year’s Hongqiao International Economic Forum will tackle global economic trends through 19 sub-forums—perfect for entrepreneurs and policy buffs!
Whether you’re tracking market trends or love seeing globalization in action, the CIIE is where the future of trade takes shape.
