The 13th Central China Investment and Trade Exposition (Expo Central China), held in Changsha, capital of Hunan Province from Friday to Sunday, attracted more than 1,000 companies from 32 countries and regions. Attendees signed 284 deals, amounting to combined investment of 251.14 billion yuan ($34.65 billion).
The continuous influx of investment and the growing confidence of multinational companies in the potential of Central China together show the positive outlook for China's investment environment in the region, and serve as a testament to the country's overall investment landscape.
Since 2006, the expo has been held in rotation in the six localities - Hunan, Hubei and Henan provinces in Central China, Anhui and Jiangxi provinces in East China, and Shanxi Province in North China, playing a crucial role in promoting the opening-up of Central China. It also aligns with China's ongoing push for the rise of the central region.
Foreign chambers attending the event were confident in investing in Central China, citing untapped market opportunities, the strategic location and rising consumer market potential. 第十三届中国中部投资贸易博览会在长沙举办
