"I want to introduce more advanced agricultural production technology"

"I want our products and technologies to bring greater benefits to Asian countries"

"I think our cultural products are liked by more people"

"I want our technology products to guide people into intelligent life"

"I want to be able to get more financial help."

"I want to share the dividend of rapid economic growth in developing countries"

……

This undoubtedly represents the aspirations of tens of thousands of small and medium-sized entrepreneurs.

This year's sudden outbreak of new crown pneumonia has brought serious impact to all countries, as well as to the world industrial chain. Made in China has become an important part of the global industrial chain supply chain. Tens of millions of small and medium-sized enterprises in the chain need to "break through the blocking point and connect with the breakpoint" to establish new links with other parts of the world.

As a large state-owned bank with a network covering 61 countries and regions abroad, the Bank of China leans down to listen to the dreams of small and medium-sized enterprises, and takes the world-class exhibition of China International Fair as the "big stage", creating a trade and investment docking platform for SMEs to match transactions and promote investment.

On November 6, the Third International Fair Trade and investment docking conference, jointly sponsored by BOC, China International Import and Exhibition Bureau and National Convention and Exhibition Center, opened in Shanghai.

With "BOC global SME cross-border matchmaking service" as the core, the docking conference will carry out two-day "one-to-one" negotiation. The docking industry covers all six exhibition areas of the Expo. There are trade negotiation area, investment promotion area, procurement signing area, video docking area and other functional areas on the site, so as to build a service platform for trade negotiation and investment promotion for exhibitors and purchasers.

Through the newly upgraded "Bank of China cross border matchmaking system (GMS)" of BOC, a video docking area is set up on the spot of the docking meeting to connect the on-site exhibitors and domestic merchants who are unable to arrive. 18 domestic sub venues are set up outside the venue to carry out online cross-border docking with overseas exhibitors, so that matchmaking services can benefit more enterprises, cross the barriers of epidemic situation and share development opportunities. A total of 674 exhibitors and 1351 purchasers from 64 countries participated in the two-day docking meeting, and 861 cooperation intentions were reached.

On November 6, the trade and investment docking meeting of the third ICIF opened, with thousands of enterprises "touching" business opportunities online and offline. Information map

Set up a platform for 30000 enterprises

"After three years of development, ICIF has transformed exhibits into commodities, exhibitors into investors, exchanged ideas and ideas, connected China and the world, and become four platforms for international procurement, investment promotion, people to people exchanges and open cooperation, and an international public product shared globally." In his keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the fair, state leaders said that enterprises from all over the world have been actively participating in the fair, and the exhibition area has been expanded by nearly 30000 square meters.

From the first ICIF becoming the only "comprehensive banking service support enterprise" to the second ICIF upgrading to the only "strategic partner", BOC has continuously served three sessions of ICIF.

According to reports, as early as 2014, BOC initiated the "cross border matchmaking service" to build an exchange and cooperation platform for global enterprises. Cross border matchmaking service is committed to solving the difficulties faced by small and medium-sized enterprises in cross-border operation, exploring solutions to the problem of "difficult and expensive financing" of small and medium-sized enterprises, building an interconnection platform for global small and medium-sized enterprises, better helping them integrate into the global capital chain, value chain and industrial chain, and playing a bridge role in economic cooperation and exchange among small and medium-sized enterprises in the world.

Up to now, BOC has held 70 cross-border matchmaking activities around the world. Through its cross-border matchmaking service, 30000 Chinese and foreign enterprises from 125 countries and regions around the world have helped enterprises successfully achieve a series of business cooperation in trade, investment and technology introduction, which has been widely praised by governments and business circles of various countries. China International Fair, a world-class economic and trade event, undoubtedly provides a greater stage for the "cross-border matchmaking service" of Bank of China.

It is understood that this year, BOC will continue to act as the strategic partner of ICIF and prepare for the exhibition docking meeting for three consecutive years. In the first two sessions of the docking meeting, we have provided "one-to-one" precise docking service for more than 2500 exhibitors and 4500 buyers from more than 100 countries and regions. More than 3400 transaction intentions have been reached, which are widely praised by participating enterprises.

Compared with the previous two sessions, this year's docking meeting has achieved two major upgrades: one is to upgrade the connotation of docking, and on the basis of supply and demand docking, new investment promotion theme has been added, providing matchmaking services for foreign and Chinese "Parks" to attract investment, and promoting cooperation among countries in the field of cross-border investment. Second, the docking mode has been upgraded. Relying on the Bank of China cross-border matchmaking system, on the basis of the video docking area of the main venue, real-time linkage of 18 off-site domestic online sub venues has been realized, allowing matchmaking services to gather more enterprises.

On the evening of November 6, during the trade and investment docking meeting, BOC successfully held a special online docking activity in Argentina, which is "China Argentina red wine, Malbec". In the nearly three hours of online docking activities, dozens of domestic enterprises and foreign exhibitors thousands of miles away launched "one-to-one talks", and the atmosphere was warm. After the meeting, exhibitors and merchants are still in their minds. They will continue to sign up for the docking activities on November 7 to seek more cooperation opportunities.

As a world-renowned financial institution, BOC's specialty is financial services. Over the past three years, the bank has issued a comprehensive financial plan every year, and constantly optimized and upgraded.

In response to the first ICIF, BOC made a series of special financial products for domestic and foreign merchants including basic products, special products and exclusive products. In the second ICIF, BOC will focus on upgrading its cross-border matching efficiency, building smart outlets and improving mobile banking functions by introducing more scientific and technological elements.

During the Expo, BOC's latest comprehensive financial service plan focuses on more accurate, efficient and convenient cross-border matchmaking services, providing upgraded financial service support for the fair in an all-round way. For example, to strengthen the online financial products service, help exhibitors and merchants to participate in the meeting conveniently and efficiently. For participating enterprises, various online financial service platforms such as "Bank of China global smart transfer" (GPI cross-border remittance), online supply chain, online paperless documents and other online financial service platforms were deeply customized. In line with the financial service plan, BOC also relies on the on-site outlets to provide consulting services and financial service support.

"Praise" by big men from all walks of life

The supply and demand docking meeting held by BOC, by precisely matching the bilateral demands of exhibitors and domestic purchasers, facilitated the completion of the transaction and returned home with full load, which solved the pain points of enterprises in the industrial chain, and won widespread praise from all walks of life.

Shiniko Sasaki, President of Japan's trade promotion agency, said that about 20 enterprises in the field of medical devices and health care and about 50 enterprises in the field of food and agricultural products participated in the meeting. For Japanese enterprises, the activity is a valuable opportunity for docking.

In his speech, Betty alexandroprou, executive director of the Greek enterprise bureau, said, "at present, the global economic growth is slowing down and trade protectionism is intensifying. This background provides important opportunities for Greece and China to develop two-way import, export and investment. In 2019, the new three-year cooperation plan signed by the two countries will extend the cooperation framework to 2022, which can fully reflect the continuous important progress of bilateral relations between China and Greece. ".

"Many companies benefit directly from the cross-border matchmaking services provided by Bank of China. Therefore, we firmly believe that we will continue to provide more high-quality business relations and support for our customers in China. He Mingjie, executive director of Singapore Federation of industry and commerce, said.

Li Ziwen, chairman of the Asia Pacific region of Mexico's Foreign Trade Commission, also said that since the first docking meeting was held in 2018, the event has been a supporting activity with leading scale of Import Expo. The trade and investment docking fair covers all exhibition areas of the fair, including service trade, automobile, equipment, scientific and technological life, lifestyle, medical equipment (including health care products) and food and agricultural products. It arranges daily and various forms of "one-to-one" negotiation for exhibitors and merchants from China and other countries and regions in the world. I believe it will be a very successful event for companies from China, Mexico and other parts of the world.

Wilson Mello, director of Sao Paulo Investment Promotion Bureau, said that Sao Paulo state is the only state government in Brazil to set up an official representative office in China. The representative office will be opened and put into operation in Shanghai in August 2019. Today, we have the ability to connect the business circles of China and Brazil, help Chinese enterprises invest in Brazil, and help Brazilian enterprises export to China and find Chinese partners. The cooperative relationship with China is very important for us.

Set up the "banner" of opening up

The intimate and pragmatic docking meeting is only a microcosm of BOC Service Expo.

From attracting business before entering the Expo to organizing supporting activities during the exhibition, BOC has made full use of the advantages of global outlets and financial technology to create "cloud" services to meet the needs of all parties to the maximum extent and efficiency.

In the past three years, BOC has held a pledge to serve the Expo before each Expo. The closing ceremony of ICIF every year is the "assembly number" for BOC to start the service work of the next ICIF. The "admission time" of Bank of China is open all year round.

Over the past three years, BOC has made continuous contributions to its global and comprehensive service strength, given full play to its professional advantages in foreign exchange and foreign trade, and helped the Import Expo "to achieve its level, effectiveness and better performance" in all aspects before, during and after the exhibition.

At the same time, the Bank of China is also a model of higher-level economic development.

In the past two years, China's financial industry has taken a landmark step in opening up, and more than 50 opening measures have been announced.

As the pioneer of China's financial industry's opening to the outside world, the higher-level opening-up pace of BOC determines the results of China's financial industry's opening to the outside world. Bank of China has set up overseas branches in more than 60 countries and regions, including more than 20 countries along the "belt and road". Its international settlement volume and cross-border RMB settlement volume rank first in the same industry. BOC is a leading commercial bank in China in terms of globalization and integration, and is also the main channel and service bank for domestic import and export trade settlement.

Olympic Games, Asian Games, Davos forum, service trade fair, China International Fair In every world-class "stage", there is the figure of BOC, and there are also the figures of Chinese enterprises who have stepped onto a bigger stage with the help of BOC. The Bank of China is striving for a higher level of opening to the outside world with a series of actions!
