SHANGHAI, Nov. 8, 2023 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--

The Sixth China International Import Expo (CIIE) is being held in Shanghai from

November 5 till 10. For the first time, the Lin-gang area has taken up a new

role as the exhibitor recruitment partner of the Intelligent Industry &

Information Technology Hall (Hall 3) of CIIE, which is the most

technology-intensive area of China's largest annual import trade fair.

The 2,700 square meter Lin-gang Exhibition Area was jointly organized by the

administrative committee of Lin-gang Special Area of China (Shanghai) Pilot

Free Trade Zone ("Lin-gang Special Area") and Shanghai Lingang Economic

Development (Group) Co., Ltd. ("Lingang Group").

Nearly 100 foreign companies, most of whom operate in parks operated by Lingang

Group, showcase new technologies, new business formats and new business models

that these companies have brought into China and contributed to the

high-quality development of both themselves and the country.

Showcasing Latest Achievements in Sino-Foreign Cooperation

With the theme of "Link the world with openness, Shape the future with

cooperation", the Lin-gang Exhibition Area is the first comprehensive

exhibition area for enterprises to participate in the CIIE through industrial

clusters, where nearly 100 foreign-funded companies made a collective

appearance.

The area displays remarkable achievements of the administrative committee of

Lin-gang Special Area and Lingang Group in recent years, including bringing the

spirit of international cooperation to life (companies related to China-Laos

Mohan-Boten Economic Cooperation Zone), accelerating sustainable development

(such as cross-border remanufacturing (referring to the rebuilding of a product

to specifications of the original manufactured product using a combination of

reused, repaired and new parts) and hydrogen energy industries), promoting the

opening-up of service industries (such as digital trading, technology trading

and reinsurance industries) and improving business environment.  

Highlights of Lin-gang Exhibition Area

The 2,700 square meter area has been divided into four zones: special

exhibition zone for enterprises, semi-open exhibition zone, standard exhibition

zone for enterprises and functional zone.

The special exhibition zone for enterprises has grouped 48 companies under nine

themes, including the area for German sports brand Isdera, hydrogen energy

industry and other industrial clusters. Standard exhibition zone for

enterprises mostly displays the development achievements of enterprises in

industrial parks in Lingang and industrial chain related cooperative

enterprises. More than 30 companies appear in this zone.

The semi-open exhibition zone has seven separate booths, which can also be used

for business discussions. The functional zone is open to exhibitors to host

various types of events, such as news conferences, launching ceremonies,

seminars and live streaming.

During this CIIE, the Lin-gang Exhibition Area will host nearly 100 high-level

events, including signing ceremonies, result launches, international exchanges,

industry seminars and global roadshows. The most notable ones include the

Strategic Cooperation Agreement Signing Ceremony of Johnson Controls - Hitachi

Air Conditioning Group, Shanghai North American Clean Technology and Carbon

Neutrality Cooperation Summit and Joining Hands Toward the Future -- AXA

Sustainable Development Forum. The Lin-gang Special Area will also announce

important new strategies and new talent policies during the CIIE.

Leveraging Opening-Up Policy, Unlocking Success in China

Since its foundation, Lingang Group has endeavored to make itself a door of

opening-up and growth for foreign companies. At this land by the East China

Sea, many multinational companies have found their own "password of

development" and "password of success".

Tesla settled in Lingang in 2018. Since then, "Tesla speed" has found synergy

with "China speed". In 2019, its Gigafactory achieved three remarkable

milestones - breaking ground, starting operation and factory delivery - all

within one year. In 2023, Tesla announced that it would open a Megapack battery

factory in Lingang, which has further demonstrated its confidence in boosting

its growth by developing in Lingang.

German company Lenze is a global leader in automation for mechanical

engineering. It settled in Lingang in 2007. Since 2019, thanks to the

establishment of Lin-gang Special Area, this base has become the HQ of East

Asia. As a new "highland of China's opening-up", Lingang has fueled many

foreign companies' growth in China.

"The 2,700 square meter Lin-gang Exhibition Area has become a collective stage

to display the high-quality achievements of foreign-invested companies in

Shanghai, especially those in Lin-gang Special Area. It is also a bridge of

Sino-foreign cooperation, and will enable foreign companies to link up with the

world from Lingang," said Yang Jing, CFO of Lingang Group and the leader of

Lin-gang Exhibition Area Preparation Office.
