Further, the fair is committed to exploring new business formats and models that fully integrate intelligent interactive technologies—such as artificial intelligence, 5G communications, the Internet, big data, and blockchain—into the exhibition industry. In doing so, it aims to improve itself as an international technical exchange and cooperation platform and a professional science and technology center service system that serves the national strategy, ultimately creating an intelligent online digital exhibition platform with international influence in the field of technology trade.
