CIIE exhibitors and participants from home and abroad are expected to get first-hand experience about the development and investment opportunities of Shanghai and its traditional local culture.

The municipal commerce authorities will hold a total of 56 investment promotion activities during the second CIIE, including seminars, summits, forums, dialogues and industry promotions in the areas of cross-border e-commerce, big data, industrial internet, new energy vehicles, artificial intelligence and biomedicine.

A total of 172 countries, regions and international organizations and more than 3,600 enterprises participated in the first CIIE, held from Nov. 5 to 10 in Shanghai. It was the world's first import-themed national-level expo.
