What is CIIE 2020?

CIIE is China’s flagship import exhibition and is
operated by the China Ministry of Commerce
(MOFCOM) in collaboration with the leading
national associations for each major trade sector. In
2019, CIIE exceeded 240,000m2 in floor space and
attracted 150,000 professional visitors from 100+
countries, leading to $71.13bn of deals signed.

A State-level leader from China is due to attend the
first day of the exhibition to speak and tour key CIIE
pavilions.

The exhibition covers eight halls (several of which are duplex). The Food & Agricultural
Products hall has increased to 2.5 halls this year due to demand.

In previous CIIEs, this hall has hosted pavilions from leading F&A countries and sector
associations including Australia, New Zealand & American Dairy. Top leading UK brands
have also been represented including Weetabix, Twining’s, Chivas Brothers, Lakeland
Dairies, Ahmad tea and Kendal Nutricare.

UK Pavilion at CIIE
DIT has secured a 300sqm multi-sector pavilion located in the Food and Agricultural
Products hall.

We will create a mixed-use space, co-operating with key trade associations and industry
partners to create a best-in-class pavilion. It will showcase the UK as a leading trading
partner in quality, sustainability and innovation.

The stand will consist of individual company exhibitors, a bar/café and kitchen area, and
space for networking, meetings and presentations. If you are also interested in exhibiting or
hosting events at the UK Pavilion please contact: Samuel.nixon@fco.gov.uk
