With gatherings of guests and fruitful results, the 6th International Import Expo held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai) is coming to an end.

Focusing on the “four major platforms” of international procurement, investment promotion, cultural exchanges, and open cooperation, the CIIE has set up an ideal stage for global enterprises, providing new opportunities for the world with China’s new development, and turning China’s big market into a big market shared by the world. , to help promote the construction of an open world economy and allow win-win cooperation to benefit the world.

In 6 days, the good will of cooperation sowed seeds of hope in the “Four Leaf Clover” Convention and Exhibition Center, waiting to sprout, bloom and bear fruit.

　　Vibrant vitality outside the “Four-Leaf Clover”

As the location of the “Clover”, the permanent venue for the CIIE, Shanghai’s Qingpu District has firmly seized the national strategic development opportunities and continued to amplify the spillover effects of the CIIE.

On November 5, the opening day of the 6th CIIE, the buyer Zhenkunxing Industrial Supermarket (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. and the exhibitor Dow Group of the United States reached a purchase order of US$300 million, marking the opening of the 6th CIIE in Shanghai. The “first order” of the trading group landed in Qingpu.

Purchasing parties and exhibitors will jointly expand the downstream market for electronics, transportation, new energy, packaging, construction and other related products. “Zhenkunxing is willing to become an advantageous channel for domestic and foreign brands in the industrial supplies industry to enter China and open up the Chinese market, and become the best choice for global trade partners to enter China.” said Chen Long, chairman and CEO of Zhenkunxing.

Since the first CIIE in 2018, the Qingpu Trading Group has signed the “first order” of the Shanghai Trading Group for six consecutive years. Qingpu has also built 9 “6+365” year-round display and trading platforms, gathering more than 30 trade institutions and more than 180 merchants from 76 countries and regions to settle in. More than 90,000 imported goods can be selected at will, which will be realized in the first half of 2023. The tax revenue is approximately 2.65 billion yuan.

Turning exhibits into commodities is the main manifestation of the spillover effect of the CIIE. On November 7, Building B of Hongqiao Pinhui, less than 5 kilometers away from the “Four-Leaf Clover”, was officially completed, successfully completing the last piece of the puzzle of the 660,000-square-meter functional carrier of the Hongqiao Imported Commodity Exhibition and Trading Center.

Hongqiao Pinhui Building B is positioned as the first launch platform for imported high-end industrial products. It has a total of 130,000 square meters of display and trading space, with 4 floors above ground and 3 floors underground. It will focus on Shanghai’s three leading industries and six key industries, serving both international and domestic industries. A market that undertakes the spillover effects of the CIIE in many aspects and dimensions.

From Baocang B, which provides advanced declaration, re-export trade, offshore trade, bonded display transactions and other innovative services for the CIIE, to CIIE consumer goods distribution center A, which has “6+365” to provide consumers with “Buy Global and Sell Globally” Building, and then building a global launch platform for imported high-end industrial products, Hongqiao Pinhui has achieved a transformation from a consumer goods service platform to a launch platform for high-end industrial products.
