China, or the ‘land of the red dragon’, is a lucrative market for business all over the world. Besides being the world’s largest population, it is also credited to be the world’s second-largest economy. To add to this, the Chinese creative economy is cited as a core element in making the transition to an innovation and knowledge-based economy.

Recognizing the value of these trends in the startup ecosystem, CBC is proud to host the first Global Finals China Special at the CIIE. This will allow startups to gain exposure not only at CIIE but also through CBC’s international network and get the opportunity to network with successful startups and investors from around the world. Companies from more than 100 countries and regions are expected to participate in the first edition of CIIE in 2018.

The exhibition is spread out across 8 halls, with different sectors in each. CBC will be located at the south tip of the four-leaf clover, Hall 6.2 which connects the NECC with the VIP hotel, The InterContinental Shanghai. Through the support of local partners, we will be hosting a 1-day event where key partners will be able to exhibit, speak and network.
