Hey fam 👋, the 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE) is happening from November 5 to 10, 2025 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai, on the Chinese Mainland. It’s the go-to global hub where businesses, innovators, and students meet to explore the latest in tech, green solutions, and smart services.
This year’s theme, "Opening Up for Shared Opportunities, Cooperation for a Shared Future," sets the stage for big announcements like the World Openness Report and the latest World Openness Index. Expect forums on multilateral collaboration, digital intelligence (think AI, IoT, data-powered insights), green and sustainable growth 🌱, and more ways the Chinese Mainland is going open.
Meet Remmel Jasmin, a German student at Nanjing University of Science and Technology. She’s buzzing about green and smart products and the shift to digital intelligence. "CIIE is a one-of-a-kind platform," she says, "where Germany and the Chinese Mainland can deepen ties, link up with global markets, and push forward a green transition."
For our South and Southeast Asian tech-savvy crew, this is like that hackathon in Bangalore meets the startup pitch fairs in Jakarta. It’s proof that when young minds from different regions come together 🌏, we can drive real change—whether it’s smarter cities, eco-friendly gadgets, or next-gen payment apps you already use on your phone.
Stay tuned for updates from Shanghai! This is where ideas turn into action, and where green dreams get a global stage. Ready to join the conversation? Share your thoughts 👇
