The 5th China International Import Expo set up a special area of "Exhibitors to Investors" for the first time, with more than 30 exhibitors participating, most of them among the world's top 500 and leading enterprises. Since the first China International Import Expo was held, many overseas exhibitors have become firm investors in the Chinese market.
The booth of the German cleaning brand Kach clearly records its continuous investment in China. Two months after attending the first Import Expo, the German enterprise set up its regional headquarters in Jiangsu, completing the transformation from an exhibitor to an investor.
The company has invested 2 billion yuan in four years, and is about to put into operation the global high-tech research and development center in Suzhou to develop new products and technologies globally.

China's big market is a great opportunity for the world. China International Import Expo makes exhibitors feel the strong attraction of China's huge consumer market.
Jiangsu magnified the spillover effect of the Expo through a series of activities by actively publicizing the new round of Jiangsu's opening up policies and measures to multinational companies, promoting economic and trade exchanges and cooperation all over the world, and signing a series of expanded import cooperation projects.
Roche Group, ZEISS and L'Oreal brought the content of in-depth cooperation with Jiangsu to the booth to cast a vote of confidence for Jiangsu with practical actions.
Shiseido, a Japanese cosmetics company, has set aside half of its space to display the research and development achievements of a Jiangsu technology company.
