Get ready to dive into the future of trade and tech! From September 17–21, Nanning in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of the Chinese mainland is hosting the 22nd China-ASEAN Expo (CAEXPO) and Business & Investment Summit. With the theme Digital Intelligence and Innovation Empower Development, this year's event is turning up the cool factor on cross-border collaboration.
Over 3,200 companies from 60 countries and regions are on board, but the real star is the brand-new 10,000m² AI pavilion. Imagine nearly 200 top tech names 🤖💡 like Huawei, Alibaba Cloud and iFlytek alongside nimble startups, all under one roof. Exhibits go beyond gadgets, covering manufacturing, energy, shipping and even smart agriculture. It’s a sneak peek at how digital tools are reshaping industries.
This year also marks the 15th anniversary of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area. With CAFTA 3.0 on the horizon, hopes are high for smoother trade, stronger supply chains and bigger wins for businesses on both sides. In a world facing rising protectionism, the expo is a bold reminder that openness drives growth.
Thanks to shared geography and cultural vibes, the bond between the Chinese mainland and ASEAN runs deep. While some global powers push “America First,” this expo shows how teamwork can fuel innovation. By boosting digital intelligence and easing trade barriers, China and ASEAN are setting an example for the rest of the world 🌏✨.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur scouting new markets, a student exploring global trends, or a traveler planning your next adventure, CAEXPO is your backstage pass to the future of Asia-global ties. Stay tuned as tech and trade collide to write the next chapter of regional cooperation!
