The goal of Wuxi Convention and exhibition industry in 12th Five-Year is to create "business exhibition city".

To this end, Wuxi recently launched a high-profile.

According to people familiar with the matter, Wuxi

Listed in the four line city

In an internal research report of international exhibition organizations such as Frankfurt exhibition company, Wuxi is listed as the four line city of China's Convention and Exhibition economic development.

Stimulated by this, Wuxi Convention and exhibition industry intends to change this situation in the short term.

According to the development plan of Wuxi Convention and exhibition industry, we strive to form 3 to 5 international brands during the "12th Five-Year" period.

Therefore, Wuxi and Shanghai will enhance the comprehensive carrying capacity and service function of Wuxi's MICE industry.

In fact, Wuxi's MICE industry is not too late to start.

In the 80s of last century, Wuxi began to participate in exhibitions and exhibitions, and held many large-scale national exhibitions, important international and domestic conferences, and a certain scale of tourism and cultural activities.

With the first "Wuxi Taihu Expo" held in 2003, in recent years, Wuxi has held exhibitions such as Lingshan holy meeting, Wu Culture Festival, Xu Xiake Tourism Festival, Agricultural Expo, Industrial Expo, new energy conference, forum and Asian stamp exhibition.

However, compared with other cities in the Yangtze River Delta, Wuxi's Convention and exhibition industry belongs to the latter type. Compared with the advanced exhibition cities in China, Wuxi's Convention and exhibition industry is still at its initial stage, with a low degree of marketization and limited influence.

The Yangtze River Delta Regional Planning clearly points out that by the year 2015, the Yangtze River Delta will become an important international gateway and an important global service center in the Asia Pacific region. The Wuxi Convention and exhibition industry, which is still at its initial stage, will seize the opportunity and integrate into the Yangtze River Delta integration economic circle with Shanghai as its leader. This is a new topic for Wuxi's MICE industry.
