On the Chinese mainland, Shanghai is hosting the 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE). CGTN is taking global audiences on a whirlwind live tour of national pavilions. Imagine traveling from the crisp innovation hubs of the Nordic region to the sun-drenched vineyards of Georgia without leaving your desk.
First stop: the Nordic pavilion. Here, sustainable design meets cutting-edge tech, from smart home prototypes to renewable-energy demos. Wrap up this segment with an authentic fika – the beloved coffee-and-pastry ritual that's at the heart of Nordic culture. It's an instant pick-me-up for business and tech enthusiasts keen on design thinking.
Next, touch down at Eurasia's crossroads in Georgia's pavilion, where you'll unearth the mysteries of an 8,000-year-old Qvevri winemaking tradition. This deep dive into heritage and fermentation science speaks to thought leaders exploring the intersection of culture and sustainability.
Then, venture into a lush Amazon rainforest. Feel the humidity, hear the wildlife chorus, and learn about conservation efforts protecting one of the planet's richest ecosystems. It's data-driven storytelling at its best, spotlighting how startups in South America are harnessing eco-innovation.
Finally, savor world-class coffee straight from South America's renowned bean belts. From farm-to-cup blockchain tracking to live roasting demos, this pavilion is a caffeine-fueled showcase of tradition meeting tech.
Whether you're a young global citizen following trade trends, an entrepreneur scouting new markets, or a traveler dreaming of your next sustainable getaway, CGTN's live tour of CIIE's national pavilions is a front-row seat to the world's most exciting innovations and cultural experiences – all under one roof in Shanghai.
