(Yicai Global) April 28 -- The China International Import Expo’s exhibition space for technical equipment will focus on energy conservation and environmental protection this year, according to the event’s organizers.

The technical equipment area will be much larger this year, covering over 60,000 square meters, the organization bureau said at a press briefing in Shanghai yesterday. The annual event is coming up for its third iteration after starting in 2018 and taking place in Shanghai each year.

IKEA’s parent Ingka Group and Japanese robot firm Nachi-Fujikoshi are among over 1,100 companies to have penned deals to participate so far, and over 70 percent of the contracted exhibition area has been signed out, said Sun Chenghai, deputy director of the China International Import Expo Bureau.

Ingka sees China as one of its most important markets and there is a huge potential for the energy conservation and eco-protection sectors, according to Stéphan Deville, president of its China real estate arm. His company plans to discuss future home concept ideas and renewable energy with several parties at this year’s CIIE, he added.

The two sectors in China are growing at an average annual rate of about 15 percent, added Yang Bo, vice director of the National Energy Conservation Center. He expects the country’s green and low-carbon industries, including new-energy equipment and vehicles, to output more than CNY10 trillion (USD1.4 trillion) this year.

The NEEC will also help build a special area for energy conservation and environmental protection at the CIIE, Yang added. The zone will span 10,000 square meters and focus on water conservation, recycling and resource utilization with an interactive area covering clean energy heating.
