HKTDC cordially invited our members to attend the fifth edition of the China International Import Expo (CIIE) on 5-10 November 2022 at the Shanghai National Exhibition & Convention Centre. CIIE is organised by Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China and Shanghai Municipal People’s Government. The HKTDC 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 2021, the CIIE was the largest online-offline Expo organised in China amid the pandemic. It attracted more than 2,900 exhibitors from 127 countries and regions, with a total exhibition space of over 360,000 sqm. Cumulative intentional deals with a total value of over USD70 billion were reached.

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 2021, the Central Government proposed the new dual circulation strategy to continue the economic sustainable growth, presenting new business opportunities for international collaboration. The Expo was 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.
