The delegation consisted of more than 100 Zhuhai enterprises in the areas of advanced manufacturing, "smart" home appliances, biomedicine, and cross-border e-commerce, including Zhuhai Duty Free Enterprises Group and Gree Electric Appliances.

During the fifth CIIE, the delegation paid on-site tours to Suzhou in Jiangsu Province and around Shanghai to deepen economic and trade exchanges with logistics and industrial leading enterprises in East China, promoting the construction of the new economic and trade passage of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB).

Promotion fairs on Zhuhai's intelligent manufacturing, logistics, and biomedicine sectors were held during the event, showcasing the city's products, industries, as well as investment environment. 

It is expected that Zhuhai will make full use of cross-border logistics via the HZMB to boost its import and export trade.
