Zibo, known as China's capital of ceramics, is a major ceramic production area and its products are used in industry and architecture, as well as for everyday items.
We hope to take better advantage of the high-end exchange platform of CIIE to showcase Boshan's brilliant colored glaze and ceramic art to the world, said Yang Lei, director of the Boshan district commerce bureau.
As CIIE provides a comprehensive platform for companies from around the world to strengthen business ties and trade amid the global fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, other Zibo enterprises are also getting involved in the event.
According to statistics from the municipal commerce bureau, a total of 430 Zibo enterprises and units have registered and 1,251 people from 271 enterprises and units have applied for procurement at this year's CIIE involving medical equipment and health products, intelligent industry and information technology, and food and agriculture products.
Moreover, a series of investment promotion events were held in Shanghai to attract more high-level investment to Zibo.
