Unlike the previous two expositions, this year’s event is divided into two parts – major sessions and exhibitions. Important officials from the central and provincial governments of China as well as foreign dignitaries joined the opening ceremony and delivered keynote speeches afterward.

To break down the boundaries between countries and industries, the exhibition venue has combined the display areas of different companies. High technology – including in the form of aerospace, intelligent manufacturing and electronic information technology products -- has become a highlight of this international gathering.
