HKTDC cordially invited our members to attend the fourth edition of the China International Import Expo (CIIE) on 5-10 November 2021 at the Shanghai National Exhibition & Convention Centre. CIIE was organised by Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China and Shanghai Municipal People's Government. The HKTDC was continued to mount a Product Pavilion and a Services Pavilion, introducing Hong Kong's international trade resources, products and professional services to the mainland market and beyond.

In 2020, the CIIE was the largest online-offline Expo organised in China amid the pandemic. It attracted exhibitors from over 120 countries and regions, with a total exhibition space reaching 360,000 sqm, resulting in over USD72 billion cumulative intention deals, up 2.1% from the previous year.

According to the "Outline of the 14th Five-Year Plan for the National Economic and Social Development and the Long-Range Objectives Through the Year 2035" published in March this year, the Central Government proposed the new dual circulation strategy to continue the economic sustainable growth, presenting new business opportunities for international collaboration. The Expo is therefore an ideal platform for Hong Kong companies and our international business communities to get connected with potential business partners worldwide and to acquire the latest market insights.
