2013 International Sourcing Fa (Shanghai, China)

Hastening the Birth of an Upgraded Chinese Manufacture
The world financial crisis caused incredible damage to economies all
over the world, and today its impact can still be felt. In the wake of this
crisis, across the globe and especially in developed economies, a
spotlight has been placed back onto the real economy.
Under the guidance of leaders from the Ministry of Commerce and
officials throughout Shanghai Municipal Government, with support
from international organizations and enterprises and on the foundation
of our 12 years of experience and innovation; the International
Sourcing Fair (Shanghai, China) links all aspects of international
sourcing into a connected chain and accurately unites buyers and
suppliers; upgrading its value as a international sourcing service
platform.
Against a backdrop of an urgently changing environment in the wake
the international financial crisis; the International Sourcing Fair
continues to push forward Chinese manufacturing’s transformation
and development. As part as the building of the Shanghai international
trade center, we are fighting to build “Made in China v2.0”.

Sourcing Meetings
The ISF continues to implement its unique model of “buyers exhibiting
and suppliers attending and negotiating”. Buyers and supplier have
the opportunity to meet and discuss directly, greatly increasing
negotiation efficiency and shortening buyer’s search for good
suppliers and cutting costs. Use of the pre-event matching service is
particularly good for raising affectivity.
Time: 11th to 13th September 2013, 3 days.
Location: Shanghaimart
4 Buyer Zones: “International Buyer Zone”, “UN and International Organization
Buyer Zone”, “Supply Chain Service Provider Zone” and “Chinese Industrial Parts
Zone”
Incomplete statistics for total China sourcing in 2013-2014 suggest a figure of 24
billion USD
