In the pavilion of the China Import and Export Fair in Guangzhou, an

international event for SMEs worldwide is preparing for the opening. The

exhibition has an area of 80 thousand square meters, with 2500 standard booths.

SMEs from over 30 countries and regions will participate in this grand event.

On September 14th, the 17th China International Small and Medium Enterprises

Fair (CISMEF) held a press conference in Guangzhou, China, to introduce

preparations for the exhibition and invite international SMEs to participate.

SMEs can share a new wave of China's development opportunities through this

open cooperation and globalized exhibition.

According to the organizer, the 17th CISMEF will be held in Guangzhou, China,

from September 16th to 19th. Against the backdrop of continuing international

pandemic, this most substantial and influential international exhibition for

SMEs in the Asia-Pacific region will provide broad business opportunities for

international SMEs. Exhibitors expect to actively reach new customers and make

preparations for market expansion through this win-win platform, CISMEF.

Hellenic Agora, a wine company from Greece, has constantly participated in

CISMEF for many years. The co-founder of Hellenic Agora, Liakos Constanions,

believes CISMEF is a very good exhibition, and it can give opportunities for

the companies to meet new customers, including B2B customers and B2C customers.

He suggests that all the companies need to be ready to have the best appearance

and the best exposure in a professional way.

While empowering SMEs to accelerate their growth, the international circle of

CISMEF is also expanding. The overseas exhibition area of this CISMEF is about

10 thousand square meters, which has attracted companies from over 30 countries

(regions or organizations) to participate such as Thailand, Germany, Japan.

These companies include some Fortune 500 companies such as SAP in Germany and

Philips in the Netherlands.

Since 2004, CISMEF has been successfully held for 16 consecutive sessions.

About 50 thousand companies have participated in it. The total number of

visitors and buyers exceeds 3.72 million. It has received extensive attention

and positive evaluation from governments, international organizations, and SMEs

worldwide.

The most distinctive international feature of CISMEF is the co-hosted

mechanism. Since 2005, CISMEF has been inviting 19 countries and international

organizations to co-host the exhibition. This year, CISMEF will invite the

United Nations Industrial Development Organization and Thailand Commerce

Department as the co-hosts. The exhibition area of Thailand is about 1600

square meters and there are over 50 enterprises to participate, among

Kasikornbank, Bangkok Bank, Charoen Pokphand Group and other well-known Thai

enterprises.

The commercial counselor from the Commercial Section of the Royal Thai

Consulate-General in Guangzhou says CISMEF is a platform for enterprises,

particularly SMEs, to enter the Chinese market and promote their images.

Through the exhibition, enterprises can build confidence among Chinese

consumers and enhance their potential.
