A significant part of the event was dedicated to the promotion of the China-Europe Industrial Innovation Zone. This zone is planned to cover an area of 24.5 square kilometers, and construction is already underway on a 100,000-square-meter high-standard facility, which is expected to be completed by May next year.

The zone is set to serve as a hub for international cooperation with countries such as Germany, France, and Switzerland, focusing on attracting advanced European companies in sectors like intelligent equipment, automotive components, and new energy.
