Messe Stuttgart, together with its
joint venture partner Nanjing Stuttgart
Joint Exhibition Co. Ltd. or
“Messe Nanjing”, succeeded in
bringing a high-ranking delegation
from Nanjing’s municipal government
to an information and networking
event in Stuttgart. Led by
Song Lu, Deputy Secretary-General
of the Nanjing municipal government,
Chinese delegates showcased
the potential of one of the most modern
industrial locations in China to
a number of representatives from
the economic, political and adminisproduct
is generated in the province
of Jiangsu alone,” he continued. “That
is a significant contribution, especially
when one considers the sheer size of
the country. Messe Stuttgart, as the
only foreign trade fair company
involved in the Nanjing Stuttgart
Joint Exhibition Co. Ltd. cooperative,
is proud to be organising trade and
consumer fairs together with its
Chinese partners in Nanjing.”
Nanjing, as one of China’s most important
industrial hubs, is an ideal
location for international trade fairs,
much like the region of Stuttgart.
There has been a very positive performance
from events taking place
here, such as the tourism and caravanning
trade fair CMT China, the
machine tool trade fair AMB China,
and the agricultural engineering trade
fair AGMET.
Companies from the Stuttgart region
and from all over Baden-Württemberg
will find ideal conditions for
expansion in Nanjing thanks to
its modern infrastructure and the
many tax advantages and customs
benefits.
