The event takes place at the China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai. The first-ever import trade fair is one of President Xi Jinping and the Chinese government’s flagship diplomacy activity in 2018, attracting over 3,000 exhibitors from all over the world. Arup showcases its strong international project experience at the UK National Pavilion, together with other world-leading companies, to demonstrate how the UK’s innovation and pioneering technologies can support China’s further domestic and international development.

CIIE demonstrates China’s desire to further open up its markets, increase trade, and encourage Chinese consumers and businesses to buy more products and services from across the globe. The UK is the ideal partner in these objectives: our companies, human capital and institutions are recognised world leaders in many of the areas needed to power the next stage of China’s development. ” Richard Burn HM Trade Commissioner to China and Hong Kong
