🍞"Quanqinsheng" continues to increase its investment in the Chinese market
A group of "full-time students" who have participated in the CIIE for nine consecutive sessions regard the CIIE as an important stage for releasing new products and meeting local demand.
Lesaffre from France has a history of more than 170 years. It is a technology enterprise in the field of microbial fermentation and a "full-time student" of the nine CIIEs. At this CIIE, Lesaffre, with the theme of "Fermentation, Exploring Infinite Possibilities", will focus on displaying innovative fermentation solutions across the entire industry chain, bringing a variety of new products such as durum wheat ready-mix powder, frozen yeast, and coffee-specific yeast.
Lesaffre Tan Yingying: "We are "full-time students" of the CIIE. The CIIE is a very good window for us to connect with all over the world, and it is also the most important stage for new product announcements."
Theland Dairy has entered the Chinese market in 2013 and has been on the CIIE stage for many years. This year, new milk products from New Zealand milk will be launched globally for the first time. Not only participating in the exhibition itself, since the sixth edition, Theland has continued to drive local New Zealand companies to come to China in groups. More than 30 New Zealand brands have used this platform to open up the Chinese market.
Theland Sheng Wenhao: "The CIIE has built a multilateral trade and "win-win" platform. It connects the two major markets of China and the world through the dual cycle of "buying globally and selling globally". We are not only witnesses of the ninth CIIE, but also full of beneficiaries."
At the opening ceremony of the 10th China International Import Expo held in July this year, more than 30 companies including Lesaffre and Theland signed contracts, becoming the first companies to be among the first companies to attend the 10th China International Import Expo, using their actions to cast a long-term vote of confidence in the Chinese market.
⚙️“New faces” use CIIE to open up opportunities in China
Over 2,000 “new faces” participating in the exhibition for the first time this year are coming one after another. Although these companies are on Clover for the first time, most of them have already paid attention to the Chinese market and have chosen the CIIE as a key starting point to connect with Chinese partners and reach domestic consumers.
The Dutch company AkzoNobel is one of the world's leading paint and coatings companies. It has provided coating solutions for the C919 large aircraft and the cruise ship "Aida". For the first time at this CIIE, it will comprehensively demonstrate cross-field diversified business layout and sustainable development-driven innovation results.
AkzoNobel Yin Tao: "The "platform effect" and "spillover effect" released by the CIIE have injected firm confidence and determination into our participation in the exhibition. We are highly optimistic about the strong resilience shown by the Chinese economy, and we also value the unlimited potential and active innovation ecology contained in this huge market."
Fazer, a Finnish food company with a history of more than 130 years, also made its CIIE debut. Finnish classic chocolate and Nordic oatmeal series products were brought to the site, hoping to rely on the exhibition to connect domestic retailers, e-commerce and industrial partners to tap long-term growth space.
Feize Ouyang Jiaqian: "The CIIE is not only a window for displaying products and brands, but also provides an important platform for listening to the needs of Chinese consumers, connecting with local partners, and expanding long-term growth space. We look forward to enhancing our understanding and exploring long-term cooperation with more retailers, e-commerce platforms, dealers, and industry partners through the CIIE."
Running to the back in both directions
It is the continuous release of open dividends
Whether it is the "full-time students" who attend appointments every year or the "new faces" who come from afar, the choices of new and old exhibitors confirm each other. The attraction of the CIIE comes not only from short-term orders, but also from the long-term certainty brought by China's ultra-large-scale market, complete industrial ecology and institutional opening-up.
1 Quanqin students + new faces are coming in droves. Why do they take root in China?
He Jianhua, researcher and former vice-president of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences: The CIIE’s stickiness to “full-time students” shows that the Chinese market has changed from “a place to sell things” to “a place to innovate.” There are more than 2,000 new faces participating in this CIIE, not only because of the large scale of the Chinese market, but also because of the strong momentum of China's economic development.
2. How do the iterations of the first exhibits reflect the changes in the Chinese market?
He Jianhua, researcher and former vice president of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences: What was first launched nine years ago was commodities, but now it is capabilities. The iteration of the debut exhibit is a physical examination report on the market demand level, reflecting the progressive trend of my country's market transformation and upgrading.
In the first few sessions, most of the first products were cosmetics, food, and home appliances, which solved the problems of "availability" and "goodness or not". At that time, China was the demand side.
Since then, the first launch has become equipment and technology, such as advanced surgical robots, high-end imaging equipment, etc. At this time, China is the application field.
This year, there are 6G terminal prototypes, cochlear implants that can detect sound 360 degrees, split endoscopic surgical robots, and water treatment systems that can simultaneously soften and mineralize. These things are not finished products for sale, but the next development direction. China has begun to participate in defining standards.
In the past, we brought the world's high-quality products to China, but now we bring the high-quality results that have been verified in China to the world.
3. As the CIIE becomes bigger and bigger, what signal does it send to the world?
He Jianhua, researcher and former vice president of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences: China has made the CIIE an annual platform for exchanges and mutual learning. This CIIE,
162 countries and regional international organizations participated
The overall area exceeded 440,000 square meters for the first time
More than 300 of the world's top 500 companies came
These data are more convincing than any investment report.
"All the students who work hard will persevere, and new faces will arrive" sends a clear signal to the world: As the world's second largest economy, China provides the world with the scarcest element, which is the certainty and stability of economic and social development.
