Get ready, world! Shanghai is set to welcome the 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE) from November 5 to 10, 2024. As one of the globe’s premier economic and trade events, the CIIE is the perfect platform for companies, industries, and nations to collaborate and showcase their latest innovations.
In an era where trade protectionism and de-globalization are on the rise, the CIIE stands firm in promoting free trade and global economic prosperity. China is committed to upholding trade liberalization with high-standard opening-up policies, ensuring that the world's economic growth remains interconnected and robust.
Since its inception in 2018 under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, the CIIE has grown exponentially. The first event marked the world's first large-scale national expo focused on imports, and each subsequent edition has attracted more exhibitors and participants. This year’s expo promises to be the biggest yet, even amidst regional conflicts and economic uncertainties post-pandemic.
The upcoming CIIE will feature participants from 152 countries and regions, including guest countries of honor like France, Malaysia, Nicaragua, Saudi Arabia, Tanzania, and Uzbekistan. With 39 government trade missions and four industry trade missions bringing a total of 780 trade sub-missions, the event is set to foster unprecedented levels of international collaboration.
Expectations are high as 297 Fortune 500 and leading industry companies are set to participate, leveraging China’s expansive market to drive global economic collaboration. The expo will highlight new quality productive forces, showcasing groundbreaking products, technologies, and services. From new materials in high-end manufacturing to innovations in the automotive sector like autonomous driving and new energy storage vehicles, the CIIE is the place to see what’s next.
With a track record of success—over 350,000 products displayed and $420 billion in intended transactions—the 7th CIIE is ready to take global trade to the next level. Whether you’re a business professional, a student, or just passionate about international trade, the CIIE offers a glimpse into the future of global economic cooperation.
