　　Supply and demand are facing each other, with a procurement demand of 50 billion yuan activating a pool of spring water for cross-border cooperation

This year's expo focuses on pragmatic matchmaking, promoting the principle of "visiting the exhibition while negotiating, and arriving to seek business opportunities". We have gathered procurement demands from six continents around the world, with a total identifiable project amount exceeding 50 billion yuan. The annual demand for centralized procurement exceeds 10 billion yuan, covering subcontracting, professional contracting, equipment and material procurement, centralized procurement, and overseas cooperation, as well as design, construction, bidding, and other aspects.

The demand involves more than ten fields such as housing construction, new energy and electricity, and municipal construction, with the three core fields accounting for over 60%; The procurement categories mainly include pipes and fittings, green building materials, engineering services, power equipment, and building electromechanical, and extend to the entire chain. Domestic representative projects include a certain ethylene project, a new high-speed line project, and the second phase of a certain Qingdao Metro line. The centralized procurement includes an annual total package purchase of 8 billion yuan, 200000 tons of steel bars, 50000 tons of steel, etc. Overseas projects account for nearly half of the total, which are distributed in Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, South America, Oceania and other "the Belt and Road" regions, and generally require international certification, export capacity, overseas performance and localized services.

During the exhibition, multiple matchmaking events were held for embassies and consulates, central state-owned enterprise general contractors, overseas owners, professional contractors and subcontractors, and the international engineering overseas supplier database was launched on the industrial procurement cloud chain platform. More than 1200 high-quality suppliers have been gathered, promoting the shift of cross-border supply and demand matching from "people looking for goods" to "data-driven". Face to face negotiations make exhibitions an incubator for cross-border cooperation, helping enterprises achieve the transformation from display to order, from technology to scene.

　　Forum gathering wisdom, ideological collision, and consensus building for industrial development

Adhering to the three in one exhibition mode of "exhibition+conference+docking", the Expo will hold 67 high-level professional forums and supporting activities, including the International Engineering Supply Chain Conference, Industrial Green and Low Carbon Development Conference, Hydrogen Energy Industry Dialogue, the 6th International Engineering Investment and Financing Case Seminar, and the Overseas Engineering Project Risk Control and Management Conference, to build a high-end think tank platform for ideological collision and experience sharing. Eight academicians from home and abroad conducted keynote speeches to guide the development of the industry.

The Zero Carbon City Forum, Middle East Green Infrastructure Forum, Indonesia Capacity Investment Forum and other heavyweight events were held in rotation, completing a series of important links such as mechanism framework signing, cooperation platform launch, industrial initiative release, and key project landing. Expert representatives from government agencies, international organizations, industry associations, research institutes, and domestic and foreign enterprises conducted in-depth discussions on topics such as supply chain collaborative innovation, green digital transformation, overseas project risk prevention and control, and high-quality "going global" of enterprises. They analyzed the overall trend of the industry, analyzed practical problems, and jointly discussed ways to break through the situation, gathering wisdom and strength for the high-quality development of the industry.

　　Bearing the overall situation in mind, serving the national strategy and enabling the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road"

This expo is a vivid practice of China's promotion of high-level opening up to the outside world and the construction of a new development pattern. It is also an important industry action to implement the "15th Five Year Plan", consolidate the modern infrastructure system, and build the security and resilience of the industrial and supply chains. Taking root in Tianjin, the exhibition fully relies on Tianjin's regional advantages as the sea land junction of the "the Belt and Road" and an important carrier of SCO industrial cooperation, deeply connects with the major tasks of the SCO green industry cooperation platform, and explores the formation of a new industrial paradigm of "green technology+engineering practice+international trade".

Currently, with ongoing geopolitical conflicts, rising trade protectionism, and multiple impacts on global supply chains, Chinese engineering companies are facing both broad opportunities and multiple risks and challenges when going global. The Expo takes the exhibition as the link to promote China's engineering technology, high-end equipment, green solutions and comprehensive services to the world, and help the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" go deep and solid; Promote domestic upstream and downstream enterprises to unite and go global, change the previous model of enterprises going global alone, and focus on enhancing the resilience, risk resistance, and global core competitiveness of China's engineering construction industry chain and supply chain.

This year's double exhibition innovatively promotes the concept of "green building integration", placing low-carbon technology suppliers and engineering application demanders on the same platform, allowing circular economy, new energy, and zero carbon technologies to find broad application scenarios in engineering construction, and also providing technical support for China's construction and intelligent construction industries to achieve green and digital transformation. The exhibition will simultaneously incubate characteristic IPs such as "Zero Carbon China", "National Exhibition Model", and "Green Building Pioneer", providing replicable and referenceable low-carbon transformation practice samples for the industry. The representative of the United Nations Development Programme in China stated that the Double Exhibition brings together government departments, research institutions, enterprises, and partners to build a highly valuable full chain platform.

The successful hosting of this double exhibition is a vivid practice of fully leveraging the role of the Ministry of Commerce and Tianjin in jointly building an exhibition platform. The exhibition links more than 20 national ministries and departments, national industry associations and alliances, from exhibition and investment attraction, guest invitation, event planning, to on-site reception, safe operation, and local guarantee. All parties work together to ensure the smooth and orderly process of the exhibition. The exhibition is not only a centralized review of industrial achievements, but also an important window to serve high-level opening up to the outside world. It not only serves the upgrading of industries in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region, but also builds a bridge for Chinese enterprises to "go global" and participate in global green infrastructure.

　　The grand event has come to an end, and cooperation is not limited

The grand event has come to an end, and cooperation continues; Limited extension, unlimited opportunities. Although the exhibition has come to an end, the link effect of the platform continues to be released. The organizing committee stated that it will conduct a comprehensive review and summary of this exhibition, and continue to deepen the cultivation of national level brand exhibitions rooted in Tianjin. In the future, it will further gather the main enterprises of the industrial chain, enrich the display scenes, strengthen the matching effectiveness, amplify the brand advantage of "green construction integration", help the coordinated development of Beijing Tianjin Hebei and the SCO green industry cooperation, and inject a steady stream of exhibition momentum into the comprehensive green transformation of China's economic and social development and the joint construction of green "the Belt and Road".

Facing the future, China's engineering construction industry will continue to anchor the direction of digital intelligence, greening and internationalization, continue to open up both domestic and international markets and resources, pool joint efforts with the industrial chain, polish the name card of China's construction with green digital intelligence innovation, and write a new chapter of China's engineering industry in the grand narrative of jointly building the "the Belt and Road" and global sustainable development.
