The "Connecting Zhongshan to the World - Business Exchange" was organized on December 15 at the Torch Development Zone Technology and Finance Service Center.

Activities on that day included company display, free social interaction and elevator speech. About 10 different Chinese and foreign companies set up stalls on the spot to display their products.

The meeting was guided by the Zhongshan Bureau of Commerce, the Torch Development Zone Administrative Committee and the Torch Development Zone Industrial Development Co Ltd, and jointly sponsored by the Guangdong Datang Shengshi Science and Technology Industry Co Ltd, Zhongshan Brighty Infortech Limited, Bairuide Information Consulting (Shenzhen) Co Ltd and Zhongguancun e-Valley (Zhongshan) Creative World. 

It was held to build a platform for the government, foreign investment institutions, foreign companies and Zhongshan manufacturing companies to communicate with one another, in a bid to open up more opportunities for Zhongshan companies in finding international markets.

Lin Xiquan, deputy secretary of the Torch Development Zone Party Working Committee, said that Torch Development Zone is home to thousands of companies, including more than 500 listed companies and over 20 branch companies of the Global 500. The exchange meeting can help connect local companies to the world and at the same time attract quality foreign products into Zhongshan.

As of now, the Zhongshan Bureau of Commerce is stepping up the promotion of Internet plus, thereby attracting large-scale professional e-commerce platforms from Shenzhen and other cities to settle in Zhongshan and helping Zhongshan companies go global.
