Online Exhibitor Recruitment to Enhance Macao Companies’ Understanding of CIIE
To promote the 5th CIIE and support the exhibitor recruitment, the China International Import Expo Bureau and IPIM jointly organised an online exhibitor recruitment session for Macao region, in which nearly 40 Macao companies participated. At the event, CIIE personnel introduced detailed information of the “Food and Agricultural Products” and “Trade in Services” zones, which concern Macao companies. Both parties also talked about the expo.
IPIM Organised 46 Macao Enterprises to Join CIIE Last Year
The 4th CIIE covered a total exhibition area of 366,000 square metres, and attracted more than 2,900 enterprises from 127 countries and regions to showcase 422 new products, technologies and services, conducive to over US$ 70.72 billion of annual intended trade. 281 from the Fortune Global 500 companies participated in the event last year.
