Advances in innovation, sustainability on display

Multinational corporations are showcasing technology, innovation and sustainability at the first China International Import Expo in an effort to better serve rising demand in China.

Global mining giant Rio Tinto is partnering with the Australian and British country pavilions to display its Pilbara operations through virtual reality.

Visitors can experience the whole iron ore supply chain, from mine operations, rail, ports and the operation center that remotely operates the integrated system. The 3D immersive experience allows people to see the origin of the metal that goes into their households and communities across China.
