Darren Guo, managing director of NuernbergMesse China, added: "Nothing is happening accidentally in China. There is a clear pathway or road map for the coming years, which is very valuable for us as an exhibition organizer."

With an increasing number of Chinese companies speeding up their global expansion in recent years, the vast opportunities offered by China have also been extended beyond the nation in sectors such as logistics, consultancy and financial services.

DSV, a leading global transport and logistics company, remains committed to supporting Chinese businesses' efforts to put down roots in international markets through its extensive global air, sea, road freight networks, advanced warehousing capabilities and customized supply chain solutions.

Robin Song, senior director of commercial at DSV, said they are seeing more Chinese companies with innovative capabilities and global competitiveness accelerating their expansion into the global market.

"To better support their expansion, we have built special teams focusing on key sectors including semiconductors, batteries, photovoltaics, energy storage, automotive, e-commerce, home appliances and consumer electronics, aerospace, and healthcare," said Song.

Jiang Ying, chair of Deloitte China, said two-way investment and cooperation are offering even more opportunities. As domestic firms are encouraged to go global and make overseas investments to proactively shape the global layout of industrial chains, the company expects to help bridge Chinese companies with global markets, with the focus on key areas such as corporate globalization, AI-driven industrial empowerment and green transition.

Zhou Xing, vice chair and public affairs leader of PwC China, said as multinational companies establish and upgrade their capabilities in China, and Chinese companies leverage their proven capabilities overseas and share opportunities with global partners, the synergy between these two trends is creating incremental global value.

As more Chinese companies with innovative capabilities expand overseas, cross-border operations require more diverse solutions to support financial services, which creates significant opportunities for global banks like Standard Chartered.

Leveraging its business network spanning 55 markets worldwide, which aligns with much of the Belt and Road Initiative, the bank is set to continue integrating its expertise in financing, compliance, treasury management, cross-border fund allocation and risk hedging, to help Chinese companies reduce the costs of cross-border transactions and steadily expand into overseas markets.

"As a CIIE exhibitor for nine consecutive years, we will also continue to play the role of a 'super connector', facilitating cross-border economic and trade flows, expanding the use of the renminbi in international trade, and promoting the two-way flow of industries, capital and innovation," said Jean Lu, CEO of Standard Chartered China.

Official data showed that China's trade in services totaled 8.08 trillion yuan ($1.18 trillion) in 2025, up 7.4 percent year-on-year, and its services imports recorded 4.46 trillion yuan, increasing 2.5 percent year-on-year.
