Relying on the fundamental principles of observing trends, looking for services

and selecting products, the expo has adopted the "1+8+N" framework, with the

areas: new trade, new consumption, digital services, regional e-businesses,

rural e-businesses, imported goods and domestic goods. "8" refers to eight

forums, divided into one main forum and seven sub-forums. The "N" stands for a

number of precisely-targeted, high-end events including small-scale matchmaking

conferences, salons and closed-door roundtables.

Hu Wei of the Hangzhou Municipal People's Government said that the expo is

focused on the current hot topics including discussions on the in-depth

integration of digital trade and new e-businesses. With the aim of creating a

leading global e-business expo, the event tapped into Hangzhou's advantageous

industrial resources and fully demonstrated new breakthroughs in terms of novel

concepts for e-business and the digital economy.

Department of Commerce of Zhejiang Province director-general Sheng Qiuping

said, with the deep application of modern information technologies worldwide

and the rapid growth of the digital economy, internet-based digital trade is

thriving as well as accelerating the optimization and integration of

innovation, industry and value chains worldwide. It is becoming an important

way in which trade is conducted in the digital era. Zhejiang province has been

at the forefront of the acceleration of the development of new e-business

formats while strengthening its position as a center for innovation and

entrepreneurship for digital service trade by creating a number of global

leaders in the sector. The province is taking a multi-faceted approach to

changing its development model, optimizing its economic structure as well as

accelerating the full digitalization of both its trade and industrial sectors.
