The 2024 Shanghai International Import Expo (CIIE) will be held from November 5 to November 10 at the Shanghai National Exhibition and Convention Center.
As the world’s first national-level expo with the theme of imports, the Shanghai International Import Expo (CIIE) aims to promote high-level opening up in the new era. It is an important measure for China to actively open its market to the world and build an important platform for global companies to explore the Chinese market. The preparations for the seventh CIIE are accelerating, and the total exhibition area has exceeded 280,000 square meters.
The Shanghai International Import Expo (CIIE) is not only a trading platform for purchasing and negotiating goods and services, but also a communication platform for global trade facilitation, customs integration, reducing trade barriers, promoting the development of trade in services, and promoting investment liberalization and facilitation. It carries multiple functions such as displaying the national image and discussing major global issues. The Shanghai International Import Expo provides exhibitors with various conveniences for participating in the exhibition, and also waives the exhibition fees for the least developed countries, fully reflecting the interests of all participants in world trade and promoting economic globalization in a more open, inclusive, universal, balanced and win-win direction.
Since its first launch in 2018, the Shanghai International Import Expo (CIIE) has become a four-pronged platform for international procurement, investment promotion, cultural exchanges, and open cooperation, and is an international exhibition shared by the world.
In addition, a series of supporting activities will be held during the CIIE Shanghai, such as the “Import Shopping Festival”, to showcase the CIIE’s elements of “exhibits turning into commodities”, cultural exchanges, open cooperation, etc., providing exhibitors and buyers with more opportunities for communication and cooperation.
