The 32nd China Lanzhou Investment and Trade Fair concluded on July 13, with a notable shift in the scale of signed projects. According to a press conference held by the Gansu Provincial Government, projects exceeding 1 billion yuan accounted for 61% of all signings, and projects invested by 'Top 500' enterprises and listed companies reached 47%.
Held under the theme 'New Opportunities for Pragmatic Cooperation, New Patterns of Open Development,' the fair drew nearly 42,000 guests and over 4,000 enterprises. The exhibition area spanned 54,000 square meters across five major zones, including regional cooperation, distinctive industries, and local 'Gansu Flavor' products. Nearly 40 product categories were displayed, covering new energy, new materials, artificial intelligence, equipment manufacturing, biomedicine, modern agriculture, cultural tourism, and consumer goods. All 14 cities and prefectures in Gansu set up independent pavilions to showcase their industrial resources, investment opportunities, and achievements. A total of 46 product promotion and new release events were held, attracting over 150,000 visitors.
On the investment promotion front, 26 thematic events focused on Gansu's 14 key industrial chains. The fair released 1,065 industrial chain projects and 412 scenario application projects, which were publicly accessible via the 'Gansu Quick Investment' digital system and the fair's official website. Various methods including central-local cooperation, chamber of commerce, alumni, sci-tech, and scenario-based investment attraction were employed, with targeted promotions directed at green economy, equipment manufacturing, modern agriculture, electronic information, low-altitude economy, biomedicine, and new energy.
The fair also introduced an 'exhibition plus consumption' model, launching a month-long campaign with measures such as financial benefits from ticket stubs, Gansu specialty product sales, and cultural tourism discounts, aiming to convert fair traffic into consumption growth. Additionally, AI technology upgraded the official website and mobile applet, enabling online project searches and 'point-to-point' matching. An investment matchmaking intelligent agent further provided tailored project recommendations and policy support, transforming the fair into a year-round platform for ongoing cooperation.
