China's economy is growing, and its domestic market is rapidly expanding for global development. SIAL is an international trade platform for the food and beverage industry committed to promoting Chinese food and beverage enterprises globally and assisting international food and beverage enterprises in entering the Chinese market.
Over the past two decades, SIAL has established itself as the premier professional exhibition in the industry. With the benefits of China's visa-free policy, SIAL 2024 will further leverage its international advantages to facilitate connections between domestic and international food companies and between supply and demand markets.
SIAL Shanghai 2024 will host over 180,000 professionals from 110 countries and regions. SIAL Shenzhen 2024 will continue to focus on the Greater Bay Area, extending its influence into South China and linking with Southeast Asia under the "Belt and Road" initiative.
The Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) will be held this May and will chart a course for future development.
