To provide customized services to buyers, the fifth CIIE has set up a number of trade missions for different industries. Buyers can enter a referral code to join the industrial trade mission they belong to.

Visitors who have participated in the previous editions will receive a special registration link that allows them to directly submit applications to their organizations for approval without having to fill up required information again.

Visitors can call the service hotline +86-21-968888 or visit the Frequently Asked Questions page if there are any problems with registration.
