At this year’s expo, an exhibition booth will be set up in Hall 2 of KINTEX Exhibition Center 1, providing ▲full coverage of exhibition participation fees, ▲production of promotional materials such as catalogs for each participating company, ▲placement of interpreters and guides during the exhibition period, and ▲support for other supplies.
