BEIJING - The third China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE), which concluded on Sunday in Beijing, has reinforced its role as a vital platform for promoting resilient, diversified and cooperative global supply chains, with a promising increase in international collaborations.

With over 6,000 cooperation agreements and partnership intents reached this year, the world's first national-level exhibition dedicated to supply chains is steadily transforming the global supply network into a chain of shared benefits for all.

"This event is much more than an expo. It is a forest of connections between economies, industries and people," John Denton, the secretary-general of the International Chamber of Commerce, said at the opening ceremony. "We are here together to advance our shared prosperity."

INNOVATION

After three editions, CISCE has built a reputation as a hub of technological innovation in supply chain and a striking showcase for China's new quality productive forces.

"Innovation is the defining feature of CISCE and the source of its vitality," said Yu Jianlong, the vice chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), organizer of the expo.

This year's expo showcased an array of standout technologies, including a humanoid robot equipped with Nvidia chips, an AI-supported car paint defect inspection system, and a hydrogen energy supply chain display based on liquid hydrogen technology.

Beyond the high-tech products dazzling eager audiences, this edition of the expo also spotlighted a deeper question: how to transform technological achievements into powerful drivers of industrial development.
