With the theme of "Advanced Manufacturing" at the first phase of the exhibition, high-tech and high-value-added products such as electric suitcases were showcased to the world, demonstrating the charm of Made in China.

Data shows that the number of participating companies in the first phase reached 10,898. Enterprises engaged in high technology industries such as smart living, "New Trio" (electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries, solar cells), and industrial automation increased by 24.4%. New products, technologies, materials, techniques, and ideas have emerged rapidly, and high-end, intelligent, and green products such as intelligent bionic hands, new medical equipment, transformable TVs, cleaning robots, and new energy vehicles are favored by the international market.

At this Canton Fair, 85 leading companies such as American Harbor Freight Tools, British Kingfisher, German METRO Group, French ADEO, and Japanese Daiso organized buyers to attend. Multinational companies from 9 countries, including France's Schneider, America's Staples, and Turkey's Arzum, have come to the fair for on-site procurement.

In front of a booth selling new energy vehicles, a purchaser from Egypt generously signed an order for 50 new energy vehicles, reaching a transaction of $550,000.

"I have been doing other trade businesses in China before. Since two years ago, I have been paying attention to the performance of Chinese new energy vehicles in the international market and started to import them last year," he told reporters. He visited the booth for inquiries last year and gradually tested the market in Egypt, with very positive market feedback, whichstrengthened his confidence in expanding cooperation with Chinese companies this year.
