New brands, new products, new innovations, new guest country of honor…Why the 7th CIIE is so “new”?

Exhibitors regard the CIIE as a platform to build trade relation, seeking partners and share opportunities.

Jesse White, General Manager of Asia, Berries Australia, said,  the CIIE is very good and helpful. “We have already met with many import companies and many buyers. They all say it's a very good product. They also hope to import it to China very soon.”

Morten Andersen, CEO of Danish University Alliance, pointed out, “It's a great opportunity for us to be able to invite startup companies from around the world to attend the CIIE and give them an opportunity, to give them insights into the Chinese market, meet potential partners and customers and build network among themselves from all over the world and among Chinese partners. ”

Manuel Garibay, Manager of Industrial Sales at ROYAL RIDGE FRUITS, said he tried to find new customers for dried fruit. “We're trying to find a partner here in China who can help us get into the market and just expand into it.”

The 7th CIIE had achieved a lot of fresh outcomes. A record 80.01 billion USD worth of tentative deals were reached, up 2.0% from last year’s session, reflecting Chinese market is still full of potentials.

In terms of agriculture, more cooperation will take place between China and the US.

According to AmCham Shanghai, throughout the expo, the American Pavilion exhibitors signed 11 deals with a total trade value of US$711 million, surpassing last year’s total of US$505 million.

Clearly, the CIIE serves to show China's commitment to high-level opening up, to share China's new opportunities with other countries, and to promote the building of an open world economy.

President of AmCham Shanghai Eric Zheng emphasized, “The 31 organizations in our Pavilion showed their confident with China’s market. They positively expressed they will attend again next year.So we’re optimistic about the potentials of China’s market.”

According to Andersen, the CIIE is a great platform to really promote innovation, collaboration and mutual sort of greater future for everybody.

Yulia Jin, General Manager of Swiss Centers China, said they will continue to promote Swiss companies and Swiss innovative brands to explore Chinese market through the CIIE, meeting domestic demands for high-end technology, green environmental protection, and innovative healthcare.

Jin added, “We expect to strengthen cooperation between Chinese and Swiss companies through this international platform and jointly face future opportunities and challenges.”
