On April 15th, the 133rd China Import and Export Fair, also known as the Canton Fair opened grandly in Guangzhou. Numerous merchants and visitors gathered at the largest Canton Fair in scale, with record-breaking exhibition areas and participating companies. Visitors are also much more than the past fairs before visibly.

In addition, there is also another significant change: more foreigners have attended the Canton Fair this year. With the assistance provided by the interpreters, they are discussing heatedly with Chinese exhibitors.

More importantly, journalists from Yangcheng Evening News also found out that exhibitors hold more optimistic views of the Canton Fair this year.

At the newly established Industrial Automation and Intelligent Manufacturing Exhibition of the Canton Fair, Guangzhou Shipeng Technology Co., Ltd. exhibited its eye-catching exoskeleton products. An exoskeleton is mechanical auxiliary equipment that can be worn outside the human body, which stores energy through mechanical devices to increase a human's load-bearing capacity and provide powerful assistance. As a professional exoskeleton manufacturer in Guangzhou, Shipeng Technology was established in June 2022, and it also sells and provides service for its self-developed products.

It is the first time for Shipeng Technology to participate in the Canton Fair. Its director said, "Our buyers mostly come from the business market. However, this year, we mainly want to expand to the customer market to let more consumers know about our products. Judging from this morning, our exhibition turns out to be good, because many domestic and foreign companies have shown strong interest in us. We hope to increase our popularity through the Canton Fair."

New exhibitors are full of expectations, while old ones are also confident.

As a loyal exhibitor of the Canton Fair, Guangzhou Zhuo Yi Trading Co., Ltd. is very optimistic about the Canton Fair this year and has made sufficient preparations. It exhibits ed not only charging lights, and household appliances but also new energy and environmental-friendly products such as monocrystalline silicon solar power systems.

Zhuo Yi's financial director Liang Yayan said, "With global merchants gathering in the fully-resumed offline Canton Fair, a positive signal has been sent. Having participated in the Canton Fair for 20 consecutive sessions, we have met many new customers and explored new markets no matter in the offline fairs or in the online Cloud Canton Fair in recent years."

除了客流猛增，第133届广交会还有一个显著变化

万商云集，人流如织。4月15日，第133届广交会在广州隆重开幕。作为历史上规模最大的一届广交会，本届广交会展览面积和参展企业数量均创历史新高，参展人数也是肉眼可见地比过往几届多出许多。

除了人数增加，还有一个明显变化——人群中外国面孔比例高了很多。他们在翻译陪同下，与国内参展商热烈地交流着。

更重要的是，记者走访发现，与过往几届相比，本届广交会除了参会人数大幅增长，参展商的心态也更加积极乐观。

在新设的工业自动化及智能制造新展区，广州视鹏科技有限公司（以下简称“视鹏科技”）展出的外骨骼产品格外引人注目。视鹏科技是广州本土一家集研发、销售和服务于一体的专业人体外骨骼厂商。所谓外骨骼，是一种可以穿戴在人体外部，通过机械装置蓄能，从而实现提高负重、增强助力的机械辅助装备。

2022年6月才成立的视鹏科技是第一次参加广交会，其负责人表示：“我们客户多来自B端市场，今年来参加广交会，主要想拓展C端市场，让更多消费者知道我们的产品。从今天上午情况来看，参会效果很不错，不少来自国内外的企业向我们释放了浓厚兴趣。我们希望通过广交会这个大平台，打响我们的知名度。”

“新朋友”充满期待，“老朋友”也同样信心十足。

作为广交会的忠实粉丝，广州倬亿贸易有限公司对于本届广交会十分看好，也做好了充足的准备，其参展产品不仅有充电类照明产品、家用电器，还重点推出了单晶硅太阳能供电系统等新能源环保产品。

“线下展会全面恢复，全球客商云集，正在向我们释放一种积极的信号。连续参展20届广交会，无论是传统的线下展还是近几年的‘云广交’，我们都能结识不少新的客户，开拓新的市场。”该公司财务负责人梁亚燕如是说。
