On 4 December, a delegation of CPO visited Automechanika Shanghai 2024, the annual trade fair, this year at its twentieth edition, hosted at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai. The 2024 edition, held from 2 to 5 December, saw the confirmed participation of 6,763 exhibitors, including 17 pavilions dedicated to specific international countries and regions.

A reference point in the auto-motorcycle sector for domestic and international exhibitors and buyers interested in exchanging information, connecting with key market players and negotiating business agreements, Automechanika covers a wide range of industry sectors, from components to electric vehicles, from repairing to customization.

CPO has among its clients business enterprises that are excellencies in the sector, and therefore considers the participation in this year’s fair to be positive, especially in terms of networking with the companies present, international and Chinese, among which there were also some Italian companies gathered in an Italian Pavilion set up for the occasion.

Yesterday, 6 November, the meeting “Shanghai and Jiaxing: a New Opportunity” was held as part of the CIIE currently underway in Shanghai at the National Exhibition and Convention Center, a new opportunity for exchange and dialogue between entities linked by common views.

Sponsored by Nanhu District, located in the Chinese city of Jiaxing, China-Italy Chamber of Commerce, Intesa Sanpaolo Bank, Dragon Bridge Investment, and CPO, the event saw the participation, in addition to representatives of the sponsors, of some representatives of Italian companies present in China. The theme of the meeting, a follow-up to the event held last 5 September in Milan with the participation of a delegation from Jiaxing, was the presentation of Nanhu District as an ideal investment hub for foreign players seeking a strategic positioning within the Chinese market.

2024 Shanghai Book Fair

The 2024 edition of the Shanghai Book Fair, one of the most important yearly book fairs in Mainland China, organized since 2004, is being held from 14 to 20 August in the heart of Shanghai, hosted again this year at the Shanghai Exhibition Center, the venue of numerous prestigious international and non-international fairs, located directly in front of CPO Shanghai offices.

Offering a vast selection of foreign language books, among the almost 30,000 titles on display, the Fair promotes the interaction between different cultures and languages, presenting itself as a point of reference for anyone who wants, through reading, to begin learning about China or deepen specific interests. Another reason for attraction, perhaps not known to everyone, is the cost of books in China, extremely low, with university texts that for example cost 5-10 euros per book for new editions just printed. For those who happen to be in Shanghai during this period and love reading, visiting the Fair is highly recommended.
