At the inaugural show held in September 2021, CCBEC was a huge success with an exhibition area of 100,000 sqm establishing itself as one of the largest trade fairs of its kind in China, covering three major segments: suppliers, cross-border service providers and e-commerce platforms. This year’s CCBEC will serve as a convergence point for a large number of suppliers and buyers from across the country to conduct business. Together with the online format of GBATS, the two trade fairs will create additional business connections and help industry peers grasp the opportunities from the latest round of economic initiatives. Recently, the Chinese government released guidelines on cost savings and optimising business operations in the country[1]. This involves supporting local districts to build one-stop cross-border e-commerce service platforms which will oversee preferential policy applications, logistics tracking, dispute resolution and other services. Solving product return and exchange challenges, and streamlining import procedures for faster customs clearance are also priorities.
Under the theme of "trade in services fosters development, digitalisation promotes trade", the online ‘Greater Bay Area Trade in Services Fair’ (GBATS) promotes the development of trade and business services in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Held for three months starting from the end of December 2022, the show covers seven major segments: knowledge-based services trade, international transportation and logistics, international financial services; services trade for Hong Kong and Macao; corporation services trade for Qianhai-Shenzhen-Hong Kong; the international professional services industry, cultural tourism and other specialised business areas. A total of 500 local and overseas enterprises and institutions are participating in the online fair to demonstrate their latest trade in services solutions as well as branding services. Together with CCBEC, the two trade fairs are anticipated to create high business efficiency and a huge synergy effect.
The China (Shenzhen) Cross Border E-commerce Fair is co-organised by the China Chamber of International Commerce, China Merchants Exhibition Management (Shenzhen) Co Ltd, Messe Frankfurt (Shenzhen) Co Ltd, Beijing Talent International Exhibition Co Ltd and Shenzhen OCT Exhibition & Convention Management Co Ltd.
