Latest tech set to shine at expo

SHANGHAI - High-tech products and technology are set to draw the spotlight at China's upcoming import expo, the first of its kind in the country.

From industrial robots and aviation electronics to machine tools and radiation therapy equipment, overseas companies are rushing to bring their latest technology to the China International Import Expo from Nov 5 to 10 in Shanghai. They hope to tap into an expanding market amid China's economic upgrading.

"We hope the CIIE platform can create more interest from the government, experts and hospitals in cancer treatment and help the industry grow," said Gong Anming, executive vice-president and China CEO of Swedish medical equipment producer Elekta.
