Event aims to empower and benefit participants

The 26th China Hi-Tech Fair, currently being held in Shenzhen, South China's Guangdong province, has attracted significant attention from numerous domestic and international professional buyers.

According to the fair's organizing committee, over 400,000 professional buyers, including 1,200 buyer groups, from across the world completed the registration before the commencement of the event by submitting online forms and offline attendance receipts for the global buyer matchmaking conference, a key part of the fair.

Among them, professional buyer groups from various countries such as Russia, Brazil, Greece, Singapore, Iran and five Central Asian countries are being led by government officials.

For instance, the Singapore trade delegation is headed by David Koh, the chief executive of the country's Cyber Security Agency; the Russian delegation is led by officials from the city of Nizhny Novgorod; and the Brazilian delegation is spearheaded by officials from the State of Mato Grosso, one of the country's important agricultural and livestock regions.

Many buyer groups have specific procurement needs in critical sectors such as semiconductors and electronic information, new energy, high-end medical equipment, biotechnology, energy equipment, industrial machinery, automotive engineering, aerospace, artificial intelligence, and robotics.

This highlights the global market's strong demand for high-tech products. A Russian company, for example, aims to purchase equipment and technology in fields of energy minerals and building engineering at the fair, with an intended procurement amount of up to 7.3 billion yuan($1.01 billion).

Chinese buyers from over 30 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions are also proactively participating in the fair. These regions include Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Chongqing, Heilongjiang, Hebei, Guangdong, Shandong, Shanxi, Zhejiang, Henan, Hubei, Jiangsu, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Liaoning, and the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

For example, an electrical enterprise based in Shenzhen has expressed an intention to purchase software and hardware worth up to 12 billion yuan.

Additionally, an internet company in Zhejiang plans to procure AI visual analysis technology, chips, and other related products, with an intended procurement amount of 500 million yuan. And a research institute in Shenzhen intends to purchase photovoltaic power generation and food processing equipment, with an intended procurement value of up to 200 million yuan.

Furthermore, more than 32,800 business associations, research institutes, universities, multinational corporations, and enterprises in key industries have clear procurement needs, with intended procurement amounts exceeding 100 billion yuan.

These entities hail from more than 120 countries, including the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Belgium, Pakistan, and the Czech Republic.

The fair's organizing committee said that to effectively ensure the practical benefits for exhibitors, the ongoing event has implemented a systematic and comprehensive effort to attract participants.

Through targeted invitations to professional buyers globally, the aim is to create a fair that empowers and benefits participating enterprises and organizations, allowing them to fully experience the pulse and trends of Chinese technological innovation at this grand gathering.

In today's increasingly competitive global technological landscape, the significance of this high-tech fair, renowned as the premier showcase of Chinese technologies, is becoming more prominent.

It not only provides a superb platform for global high-tech enterprises to showcase innovative achievements and exchange cutting-edge technologies but represents a significant opportunity for buyers to discover quality products and expand business collaborations.

Through the fair, numerous exhibitors and buyers from different countries and regions can connect precisely, collectively propelling the integration and development of technology and the economy, the organizing committee noted.

The fair has set up exclusive negotiation areas for buyers, creating a comfortable and quiet environment for discussions. It also provides professional translation services, exhibition guides, industry information, and comprehensive promotion for buyers who reach significant procurement agreements.
