The 16th EU-China Business and Technology Cooperation Fair will be held in Chengdu, Sichuan province, from September 17 to 19 and is co-hosted by the China Chamber of International Commerce and the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China. As one of the main activities of the 18th Western China International Fair, the EU-China Fair will build a platform for participants from China and Europe to exchange ideas and conduct business activities. Entrepreneurs, government officials and experts will gather in the Chengdu-based Business and Innovation Center of China-Europe Cooperation this month to share their views with 500 attendees on commercial topics related to China and the EU. This will include the digital economy, energy transition and urban green development, investment and legal services, geographical indication, vocational education, and other areas.
Zhao Ping, Deputy Dean of the Beijing-based Academy of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), said the fair will help boost imports from European countries, advance trade and economic cooperation between China and Europe, and serve the needs of China’s expanding consumption market. China replaced the United States as the EU’s largest trade partner in the third quarter last year, reflecting the resilience and potential of bilateral economic and trade ties, according to China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM).
