The 4th China International Import Expo (CIIE) will set up a special section for biomedical products for the first time, the organizer said on Thursday. 

The new section, situated inside the Medical Equipment & Healthcare Products Exhibition Hall, will not only help industry leaders to showcase new products and promote cooperation, but also enable domestic institutions to learn about cutting-edge technologies and industry trends, according to Liu Fuxue, deputy director of the CIIE Bureau.

During the 3rd CIIE, the Medical Equipment & Healthcare Products Exhibition Hall covered an area of 69,000 square meters, with more than 120 new products and technologies debuted.

The CIIE is the first dedicated import exhibition in the world and has seen fruitful outcomes in the past three expos. The 4th CIIE is slated to be held offline in Shanghai from Nov. 5 to 10 this year.
