The ongoing 8th Silk Road International Exposition (SRIE) in northwest China's Xi'an City is showcasing its sophisticated and cutting-edge manufacturing to global participants, aiming to further expand international markets for this industry.
The five-day event, which opened on Friday, features five exhibition areas focusing on international exchange, inter-provincial cooperation, transportation logistics, advanced manufacturing, and modern energy. It has drawn exhibitors from 41 countries, along with 73 international business associations and enterprises.
The advanced manufacturing exhibition at this year's SRIE covers a variety of fields, including new energy vehicles, photovoltaic electronics, high-end equipment, and 3D printing. This exhibition not only highlights the technological innovations in manufacturing made in Shaanxi Province and across the whole country, but also fosters collaboration between domestic and international companies in this sector.
Xi'an Tianhe Defense Technology Co., Ltd., a high-tech enterprise specializing in dual-use electronic equipment, showcases its latest products in low-altitude air defense systems and big data sensing and service at the expo.
"We have specially brought some new technologies and products to the SRIE. Our advanced solutions for low-altitude flight and airspace management are quite unique, and we look forward to collaborating with potential clients in these areas," said Yang Shihai, technical director from the company.
As one of the leading enterprises in the photonics industry in the province, Shaanxi Optoelectronic Pilot Institute of Science and Technology Co., Ltd. also stands out at the event with their latest four types of wafer products, which are core materials for semiconductor manufacturing.
"Currently, we want to strengthen our advantages in the photonics industry in Xi'an City and Shaanxi Province, and we hope to use the expo to showcase our strengths to the Belt and Road countries. This will create new development opportunities for Shaanxi Province and give us a chance to expand our photonics industry chain," said Yang Junhong, general manager of the photonics company.
The SRIE has achieved fruitful results since its launch. The previous seven expositions attracted over 800,000 visitors. The total contracted investment amount for foreign-funded projects and for domestic joint projects reached over 54.4 billion U.S. dollars and nearly 1.3 trillion U.S. dollars, respectively.
