The Fifth Consumer Expo held its first supply and demand matching meeting
On April 14, the Fifth Consumer Expo held its first supply and demand matching meeting. More than 110 companies from more than 10 countries and regions actively participated in the promotion and reached a number of cooperation in procurement transactions, with a contract amount exceeding 6 billion yuan.
At the supply and demand matching meeting site, the reporter saw that the exhibitors sat together according to their needs and exchanged contact information. Some exhibitors even prepared translation machines in advance and discussed the details of the cooperation in a warm manner. Many companies on the scene reached cooperation intentions.
American exhibitor Francisco J. Nunes said: "We believe that the Chinese market is very important. Hainan has many opportunities as a resort, so we came here to discuss and cooperate with companies in the retail, hotel and entertainment industry."
French exhibitor Laura Bergen said: "The Consumer Expo provides a good opportunity for our brand to promote around the world. I think free trade is the key. Through joint cooperation and an open international market, we can develop together and create opportunities around the world."
During this Consumer Expo, three supply and demand matching meetings will be held in this global Good Products Special, e-commerce Special and country-specific special sessions, highlighting the "online + offline" channel method in design, and establishing a buyer alliance to promote the two-way empowerment of international brands to enter China and Chinese brands to go overseas.
Tang Ying, senior director of the Investment Promotion Department of Hainan International Economic Development Bureau, said: "At present, more than ten companies have signed contracts one after another, and many overseas buyers, such as France, Italy, and Switzerland, gather all our member units with procurement resources to build a procurement network."
