Under the inspiring theme \"Share Open Opportunities, Co-create a Better Life\", this year's expo was bigger and better than ever before, welcoming participants from every corner of the globe. 🌐
Spanning a massive 128,000 square meters (that's like 18 football fields! 🏟️), the expo showcased a staggering 4,019 consumer brands from 71 countries and regions. 🚀 That's a 9% jump in participating countries and a 19% increase in brand representation compared to last year. Talk about leveling up! 💥
This year, Ireland took center stage as the guest country of honor ☘️, adding some Celtic charm to the mix. Plus, representatives from twelve RCEP countries—accounting for a whopping 80% of the bloc's membership—brought their A-game to showcase amazing products. 🌺🎎
