Healthier, more Chinese, greener and smarter, the "new faces" at the CIIE talked about the new changes in life.
healthier——
From surgical robots to global new drugs, there are many “new health trends” at the CIIE.
Essilor Luxottica, a "full-time student" at the CIIE, brought a "bright" innovative exhibit on adult visual management. In response to the problems of people over 40 years old with reduced adjustment ability and delayed focus switching between distance and near, the company launched the Wanlilu Qishi Lingyue progressive lens in Asia during the China International Import Expo. This lens is equipped with the new iComfort technology, which can personalized adjust the position of the near vision area according to personal power and near vision needs, helping first-time wearers to adapt to progressive lenses more easily and naturally.
"The CIIE has always been a strategic platform for us to showcase cutting-edge innovations and deepen cooperation in China." said Lin Guoliang, President of Professional Vision Health of Essilor Luxottica Greater China.
More China——
Innovating and creating ideas inspired by Chinese culture has become the “new standard” for many multinational companies.
This year, "Quality Student" IKEA will launch the world premiere of the Forstar Year of the Sheep Chinese New Year series designed based on Chinese culture. Song Yingai, Acting President and Chief Sustainability Officer of IKEA China, said that 385,000 pieces of the Versida Year of the Horse series, which debuted globally at the last CIIE, were sold in about five months after being launched, allowing us to truly feel the spillover effect of "turning exhibits into commodities and commodities into hot products." "The CIIE will allow us to better listen to consumers, cooperate and create together, and bring more innovative results derived from insights into Chinese life to a broader market."
Greener——
Bosch's world premiere AI-Hybrid smart hybrid whole-house climate system is one of the 10 black technologies selected by the Machinery Industry Information Research Institute from more than 10,000 exhibits at this CIIE. This exhibit is based on AI self-learning and dual-energy intelligent dispatching to achieve active prediction, precise temperature control, intelligent energy saving, and help "dual carbon".
Canada is one of the guest countries of this year's CIIE. Arc'teryx, which will make its debut at the CIIE, will demonstrate the ReBIRD service system that gives equipment a second life.
"In recent years, China's outdoor sports have been booming, and the demand for professional equipment and services has been escalating." Yin Yi, general manager and senior vice president of Arc'teryx Greater China, said that participating in the CIIE for the first time demonstrates Arc'teryx's long-term commitment to continue to expand into the Chinese market. Starting from its first CIIE show, Arc'teryx will continue to invest in the Chinese market.
Smarter——
Artificial intelligence is a new highlight at the China International Import Expo. Smart AI not only empowers industries in the technical equipment, automobile and smart travel exhibition areas, but also brings thousands of possibilities for a better life in the consumer goods exhibition area.
First, the K-SCAN Paris Kérastase AI intelligent precision meter equipped with 3 kinds of light source technology can clearly present the condition of consumers’ scalp, and analyze it with the help of AI, and then combine it with the K-STATION anti-hair loss care device to provide consumers with personalized care. L’Oréal Group will bring Kérastase Paris K-SPA’s “hospital-level” care to Asia for the first time this year.
"The CIIE is not only a stage for displaying new products, but also a platform for continuous spillover effects." Lan Zhenzhen, president of public affairs for L'Oréal North Asia and China, said that the beauty technology behind this treatment comes from the local Chinese technology innovation companies that "sparked" with L'Oréal at the 4th CIIE.
Thanks to the large platform of the CIIE, the two parties continue to incubate new technologies and jointly develop the "deep nursing instrument" technology, which was previously used in Helena's "first-class" nursing service and has since been introduced to countries such as Switzerland, France and Australia. The innovative achievements of Sino-foreign cooperation have spread from the CIIE to the world.

Lu Shan, deputy mayor of Shanghai, said that in the past eight CIIEs, more than 3,400 new products, new technologies, and new services have been displayed in total.
