Global 500 multi-national corporations, including L'Oreal, Nestle, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Microsoft, MSD and HSBC, as well as industry leaders such as Cargill, Becker Hughes, Lego, AstraZeneca and Orix, are listed.

Based in the US, Japan, France, Italy and New Zealand, these exhibitors are engaged in the businesses of service trade, automobiles, equipment, consumer goods, medicine and food. They are expected to showcase their newest products and technologies at the fourth CIIE.
