Shanghai just hosted the grand finale of the 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE), and the numbers are wilder than a K-pop concert crowd! The world’s largest import fair locked in $80.1 billion in tentative deals – a 2% jump from last year. Talk about leveling up!
This year’s expo was a global village on steroids : 77 countries and international organizations showcased their cultures and innovations, while nearly 3,500 companies (including 297 Fortune 500 giants!) packed the business halls. From tech unicorns to sustainable startups, the vibe was all about ‘collaboration over competition.’
And guess what? Visitors flooded in like TikTok trends – 852,000 attendees swiped through the expo by Sunday noon. Whether you’re a startup founder or a cultural explorer, CIIE proved it’s the place to network, innovate, and trade.
