The 20th China Expo Forum for International Cooperation (CEFCO), scheduled from January 8 to 10, 2025, in Tianjin, is set to be a cornerstone event for accelerating China's economic growth and transforming the global exhibition industry. As China pivots towards innovation-driven, high-quality development, the exhibition sector emerges as a vital force in driving economic transformation, fostering international cooperation, and promoting sustainable development.
Under the theme \"Empowering a Sustainable Future with New Quality Productive Forces,\" this year's forum is closely aligned with China's strategic objectives for high-quality growth. Bringing together over 500 professionals from 19 countries, CEFCO is poised to become a central hub for shaping the future of the exhibition industry and reinforcing China's position as a global economic leader.
Exhibitions: A Catalyst for Economic Growth
Exhibitions play an integral role in China's economic strategy by serving as bridges for business transactions, international partnerships, and technological exchange. The CEFCO provides a crucial platform for aligning the exhibition industry with China's broader goals, particularly in the realms of innovation, sustainability, and high-quality industrial development.
The International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE), a leading voice in the global exhibition sector, is instrumental in fostering collaboration and advancing China's exhibition industry on the world stage. By leveraging new technologies, sustainable practices, and strategic partnerships, the forum enhances China's economic competitiveness, attracts international investment, and solidifies its role as a key global player.
Driving High-Quality Development in the Exhibition Sector
China's exhibition industry is undergoing a significant transformation, and the CEFCO is at the forefront of this evolution. The forum offers a platform for industry leaders to exchange ideas on enhancing event quality, digitalizing operations, and promoting green initiatives.
With a strategic focus on innovation and sustainability, the forum is nurturing the next generation of exhibition practices that emphasize not only growth in scale but also improvements in quality and global relevance. This shift complements China's broader economic strategy by integrating new technologies and business models that ensure long-term sustainability and global competitiveness.
