The reporter learned from a press conference hosted by the Hainan Provincial Information Office on the 18th that the 6th China International Consumer Products Expo will be held in Haikou, Hainan from April 13 to April 18. The number of participating countries and regional exhibition groups has reached a new high, and the display-and-trade function for global high-quality consumer products has been significantly strengthened.

The 6th CIEP is the first expo held after the official start of full-island customs clearance operations for Hainan’s free trade port. The theme of this expo is “Opening Leads Global Consumption, Innovation Drives a Better Life.” The main venue will continue to be set at the Hainan International Convention and Exhibition Center. An international yacht exhibition area will be set up in Sanya, and an international health consumption exhibition area will be set up in the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone. Canada will serve as the guest of honor for this expo.

According to the introduction, preparations for this expo are progressing smoothly, and the work of attracting businesses and organizing exhibition groups has been completed. The expo targets cutting-edge sectors, embraces trendsetting technology, and has widely invited high-quality consumer products from both China and abroad to participate. It will organize more global debuts, Asia-Pacific first exhibitions, and China premieres to build a debut platform for international new products to get a foothold in the Chinese market and for high-quality domestic brands to reach the world.

A series of supporting events will also be held during this expo. Focusing on the needs of exhibitors and purchasers, it will hold a series of new product first-release and first-show events, as well as a series of supply-and-demand matchmaking activities, among others. Focusing on the theme of boosting consumption, it will hold more than 10 themed promotional activities, such as “Made for China’s Export” and “Shop in China.” Focusing on the construction of Hainan’s free trade port, it will hold series events such as “Global Good Gifts at CIEP: Good Things from Hainan’s Free Trade Port,” and a “Policy Direct Line” consumer special event for Hainan’s free trade port.
