The exhibition is a leading platform for international entities and companies to present their latest solutions and products, and gain exposure to innovative technologies from around the world.
The UAE and China have a long-standing relationship based on strategic partnership and fruitful cooperation.

Moreover, the UAE is China’s top Arab trading partner as it accounts for 30 per cent of China’s total non-oil trade with Arab countries. China remains the UAE’s largest trading partner globally as of 2022.
