As an industrial organization to provide services in import and export trade, statistics and analysis of China consumer electronics, CCCME is active in promoting the healthy development of China consumer electronics industry. Over the years, CCCME has been attaching great importance to the development of SINOCES. CCCME has been one of the organizers for SINOCES for three successive years.
The show is boosting the development of industry and trade. They complement and promote each other. The improvement of industry needs the promotion and cooperation of a fully developed show，and the rising and high-speed development of industry will also make the show more and more specialized and professional. Therefore, the developing consumer electronics industry in China needs a show in a corresponding position to display. With the increase of our economic power, the position of Chinese consumer electronic enterprises is improving in global trade system. However, Chinese enterprises don't have the power of influence and right to speak corresponding to our economic power in global trade. For example, although Chinese enterprises have made more and more frequent attendance in world first-class electronic shows such as CES, CeBit, and IFA, it is still difficult for us to play the leading role in such shows for various reasons. A successful exhibition not only sets a gathering place for attracting people's attention, and builds a bridge between the enterprises to finalize a transaction, but also reflects the market characteristics and trend of the industry. Relevant enterprises can obtain the latest trend of the markets concerned through SINOCES, so as to be clearer about their own strategic management concepts and medium and long term working goals.
In the past ten years, the organizing committee of SINOCES has cooperated with exhibitors, traders, media and associations, with the ideas of specialization, marketization, opening and sharing. It insists on innovating by exploring continuously, perceiving the market changes observantly, and providing motive power for creating core value as well as the latest and most authoritative market information for enterprises, in order to become the significant driving force for the development of global consumer electronics industries. We will try our best to build it into an exhibition of the latest technologies and products in Asia, the biggest platform for business cooperation, a gathering place for highest-level industrial exchange and the most influential platform for optimizing the industry chain. SINOCES has become the best stage for China's Consumer Electronics enterprises to show themselves completely.
