WTCA China International Import Expo (CIIE) Program
Dear Members,
The 4th annual China International Import Expo(CIIE) will take place in Shanghai -- China's business and trade hub -- from November 5-10, 2021.
Following the successful participation in the past two years, the WTCA is partnering with WTC Shanghai to launch the 2021 WTCA CIIE program -- an initiative to support WTCs and their business members in expanding their global reach to the China marketplace. This year's hybrid approach provides online participation for convenient and cost-effective access by overseas WTCs and their business members, as well as an in-person booth managed by WTCA staff, which allows onsite face-to-face interaction with potential buyers.
