To further enhance the ongoing operation of the Canton Fair’s online platform and actively build a “never-ending” and “market-leading” fair that supports enterprises in stabilizing orders and expanding markets, the China Foreign Trade Centre, in collaboration with global partners of the Canton Fair, leading multinational companies, and “Trade Bridge” partners, has integrated domestic and international resources and meticulously planned and organized supply and procurement matching activities. In August, the “Trade Bridge” vehicle and parts matching series successfully took place, featuring one-on-one precise matchmaking discussions between 86 vehicle and parts buyers and 87 high-quality Chinese suppliers. Among them, 79 were exhibiting companies, 8 were brand enterprises, 6 were online platform package companies, and 2 were CF Award-winning companies. Preliminary statistics indicate that the intended procurement amount exceeded $63 million. The series of activities has achieved remarkable results and highlighted features!
Highlight 1: Global Coverage with Regional Matching Events. Before the event, extensive collection of buyer needs in the vehicle and parts industry was conducted, followed by multiple rounds of intensive pre-matching. While serving large buyers, the event also organized matching activities for small and medium-sized industry buyers. This month’s industry-themed activities covered five continents, including nearly 20 countries such as the UK, Malaysia, Brazil, Kenya, and Australia. Regional matching events were held for small and medium-sized industry buyers in Asia, Africa, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania, creating more cooperation opportunities for Chinese and foreign enterprises.
Highlight 2: Platform Empowerment with a “One-Stop” View of Quality Enterprises’ Popular Products.
Buyers can use the Canton Fair online platform to view a “one-stop” selection of over 150 quality enterprises in the fields of new energy vehicles, smart mobility, vehicles, auto parts, motorcycles, and bicycles (including Canton Fair brand enterprises and B/C package companies on the online platform). They can explore popular products, submit intended orders, and engage in online matching discussions with suppliers. Based on personalized matching needs from buyers, the event organizers specifically invite target suppliers and arrange “screen-to-screen” one-on-one supply and procurement matching activities.
Highlight 3: Demand-Driven Participation, with Active Involvement from Small and Medium-Sized Buyers and Brand Enterprises.
Small and medium-sized buyers such as Importadora De México Sa de CV from Mexico, Arivjikh-Ekh from Mongolia, Masawara Group from Zimbabwe, and China Duty Free International from Hong Kong brought diverse procurement needs, covering over ten product categories including automotive parts, accessories, automotive electronics, maintenance products, and vehicle repair equipment. The Foreign Trade Centre, guided by procurement needs, meticulously arranged for precise matching of various procurement requirements with Canton Fair brand enterprises, new product companies, and online platform package companies such as Guizhou Tire Import and Export, Guangzhou Dayun Motorcycle, Xi’an Wanpu Import and Export, and Juneng Motorcycle, saving time and improving efficiency for both suppliers and buyers.
