Canton Fair: Where Ambitions Become Reality
GUANGZHOU, Mar 25 /PRNewswire-Asia-AsiaNet/ --
The path goods take to reach a buyer is often long. From thousands of raw
materials to hundreds of parts, parts to a final product, to a buyer ¨C it's a
road only possible because of the vision of entrepreneurs who see a computer in a
piece of silicon, a car in a piece of rubber, a house in a table lamp, or a
business in a case of printer's ink.
Turning a business idea into reality can involve sourcing from all over the
world. Or it can involve going to the Canton Fair. As the largest trade fair in
China, the Canton fair stands right in the middle of the global sourcing market,
and every year more and more attendants, from ambitious entrepreneurs to globe
spanning corporations, come there looking for a way to realize their goals.
Besides putting over 55,000 suppliers and over 170,000 buyers on the same
grounds, the fair offers numerous tools to put these two groups in touch.
Including comprehensive online tools for finding the goods you are looking for,
contacting the suppliers beforehand and setting up meetings -- a necessary
service if you are to navigate the massive selection on display. The fair will
also see a return of the "Cup-of-Joy Party" where buyers can find the supplier
they didn't know they needed. The website also provides detailed product
information, travel information as well as assistance with hotel booking and visa
applications.
Don't look all over the world for the goods your company needs; don't even
look all over China. With 55,000 stands, an exhibition area of over 1.1 million
square meters, and business turnover of tens of billions of US dollars, the
Canton fair is a perfect match for your ambitions.
