Ren Hongbin, chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), and Anhui's vice governor, Li Zhong, attended the roadshow in the provincial capital, Hefei, discussing production, international cooperation and expo preparation with participating companies.

Seventeen Anhui-based companies, including iFLYTEK and Gotion High-tech, signed agreements with China International Exhibition Center Group to join the expo.

Yu Zhuyun, chairman of Central Holding Group, described the CISCE as a window for high-level international engagement. He expressed the company's readiness to participate, aiming to connect with overseas markets and jointly build Anhui's characteristic industrial cluster.
