The fair drew nearly 42,000 participants from China and abroad, including more than 1,900 enterprises from 30 countries, Shanghai Cooperation Organization member states, and 18 Chinese provincial-level regions.
"Projects worth over 1 billion yuan ($139 million) accounted for 61% of the deals signed at this year's fair," said Liu Dong, director of the Gansu Provincial Economic Cooperation Center. "Investments from Fortune Global 500 and China's top 500 companies, as well as listed firms, made up 47%."
The fair featured five major exhibition zones spanning 54,000 square meters, showcasing products in nearly 40 categories, including new energy, new materials, AI, equipment manufacturing, biomedicine, modern agriculture, and cultural tourism. The exhibitions drew 151,000 visitors.
