This year's expo is in Changsha, the capital of central China's Hunan Province, and it has attracted the participation of over 1,000 businesses from 32 countries and regions, according to organizers.
"Opening-up and innovation for the rise of central China" is the theme of the 2024 event, which has an exhibition area of approximately 40,000 square meters. It features a variety of areas covering fields such as digital finance, the low-altitude economy and biomedicine.
China's central region is comprised of the six provinces of Shanxi, Henan, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan and Jiangxi. The country has highlighted the need to accelerate the rise of its central region as part of its efforts to promote coordinated regional development.
