Setting the Stage to Empower Exchanges and Deepen Open, Pragmatic Cooperation

This three-day BRICS New Industrial Revolution Exhibition focuses on the intelligent transformation needs of industries across countries, featuring four core exhibition areas: Smart Factories, Smart Healthcare, Smart Agriculture, and Smart Mobility. Bringing together over 120 leading enterprises from 10 countries, the exhibition showcases more than 2,000 cutting-edge technological achievements, including industrial large-scale models, low-altitude equipment, embodied robots, AI-powered diagnostic devices, intelligent agricultural machinery, and unmanned driving systems. It also highlights the development outcomes and supporting service capabilities of the BRICS Innovation Base and the Science and Technology Incubation Park.

 

At the exhibition, C&D Group, under the international brand positioning theme of "Trusted Partner for Resilient Global Supply Chains," presents its international development achievements in the supply chain operations sector, the LIFT supply chain service system, and its core business layout. A BRICS coffee exchange area is also set up, vividly demonstrating its "Buy Global, Sell Global" international supply chain operational capabilities.

 

On the afternoon of the opening day, subsidiaries of Xiamen C&D Inc. signed multiple cooperation agreements on-site with international partners, jointly expanding collaboration across various sectors and supporting the coordinated industrial development of BRICS and partner countries. On the 28th, Xiamen C&D Inc. will also share practical case studies at the BRICS Industrial Capacity Cooperation Industry Matchmaking Event, focusing on the theme of supporting enterprises in their overseas operations.

 

After years of deep cultivation, C&D's business has now reached over 170 countries and regions worldwide. In 2025, its total international business exceeded 42 billion U.S. dollars, with BRICS-related trade accounting for more than 40%. The company's operations cover over 95% of BRICS countries and partner nations, and local employees make up over 70% of its workforce, steadily advancing its global expansion.

 

Currently, C&D's trade portfolio in BRICS markets encompasses nearly 100 product categories, including the new energy industry chain, consumer goods, agricultural products, metals, minerals, and steel, energy and chemicals, as well as pulp and paper. It has established stable partnerships with leading enterprises in multiple BRICS countries. In recent years, C&D has steadily deepened its involvement in BRICS countries' mineral resources and further collaborated with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd. (CATL) to expand the full new energy industry chain. Meanwhile, it has engaged in livelihood-focused cooperation, such as exporting electric buses to Ethiopia and providing aid vehicles for the United Nations World Food Programme, leveraging Chinese manufacturing to support local development.

 

Comprehensive Full-Chain Expertise to Support the BRICS Summit

C&D's subsidiaries, Xiamen Conference and Exhibition Group Inc. and Xiamen C&D Culture and Tourism Co., Ltd., provided full-spectrum service support for the forum and exhibition.

 

The BRICS New Industrial Revolution Exhibition is jointly organized by the International Economic and Technical Cooperation Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and Xiamen Conference and Exhibition Group Inc., marking the first time the exhibition has adopted a market-driven operational model.
