6th Annual China International Import Expo (CIIE)
The 6th annual China International Import Expo (CIIE) will take place in Shanghai – China’s business and trade hub on November 5-10, 2023.
Following its successful participation over the past four years, the WTCA is once again partnering with WTC Shanghai to launch the 2023 WTCA CIIE Program. The program will offer a hybrid approach to CIIE, the top trade show for imported goods in China, for all WTCA Members and their business networks to showcase their products and services. The hybrid program format provides free remote participation for convenient and cost-effective access for overseas WTCA Members and their business networks, as well as an in-person booth managed by WTCA staff to allow face-to-face interaction with potential buyers.Â
Organizations can attend the 2023 CIIE in-person since China has fully re-opened. All participating organizations and products will also be promoted to local Chinese business communities by WTCA Members, and WTCA partners in Shanghai and other cities throughout China.                     Â
As an additional new benefit starting this year, all participating consumer products and services will be jointly promoted by the WTCA and WTC Haikou at next year’s China International Consumer Products Expo (CICPE) which will be held on April 11-15, 2024.
