The 2nd China International Import Expo (CIIE) is to be held from November 5 to 10 in Shanghai. It is reported that an extra 60,000 square meters of exhibition area will be created for the expo venue. 

According to Wang Bingnan, Vice Minister of Commerce, the event, like last year, will be composed of three parts: the Country Pavilion for Trade and Investment, the Enterprise and Business Fair, and the International Trade Forum.

As of July 27, which marked the 100-day countdown to the opening of the expo, 61 countries have confirmed their participation in the Country Pavilion Exhibition area, among which 15 will be guests of honor.

The booths for the Enterprise and Business Fair are extremely sought after by enterprises from around the world. Different from last year, sections on elderly care, virtual reality and augmented reality will be added, and the expo will set up an outdoor area to experience autonomous driving and winter sports, said Sun Chenghai, Deputy Director of the CIIE Bureau. At least 3,000 enterprises have confirmed their participation, reaching a record level compared with the first CIIE.

This year, the total exhibition area will be over 300,000 square meters, and each exhibitor will have 93 square meters of land area on average (up by 20% from last year) to display their products and services.

Moreover, new product releases and the number of Fortune 500 companies and industry leading companies in attendance have all exceeded those of last year’s inaugural expo.
