This opportunity will allow the selected SMEs to showcase their products and network with potential partners and clients at one of China’s foremost tech fairs of the year.
The China Hi-Tech Fair (CHTF) is an annual event in Shenzhen jointly held by China’s Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, National Intellectual Property Administration, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese Academy of Engineering, and Shenzhen Municipal People’ s Government. The CHTF has been successfully held for 24 consecutive sessions, and is the largest and most prominent science and technology exhibition in China, known as “China’ s No. 1 Technology Show” .
CHTF focuses on advanced technologies and products in such fields as Al, smart home, smart manufacturing, internet of things, intelligent drive, internet of vehicles, commercial 5G, 8K ultra HD, blockchain technology, next generation IT, big data, cloud computing, and emergency security. Years of growth have led CHTF to become a node in the opening of China’s hi-tech sectors to the world and to promote economic and technological exchanges and cooperation.
