The healthcare section further highlighted the city’s innovation in high-end medical equipment and precision healthcare services, with exhibits from UKS Medical attracting sustained interest from industry professionals and potential partners.

Chongqing also put its food and beverage industry in the spotlight, with local brands showcasing products including plum wine, hotpot seasoning and NFC orange juice. A busy tasting zone became one of the pavilion’s most popular attractions, giving visitors a chance to experience Chongqing flavors while connecting with exhibitors over potential business opportunities.

“Food is the best international language,” a representative of the Chongqing delegation said, noting that immersive tasting experiences help overseas buyers discover Chongqing, remember the city, and consider future investment opportunities.

Counties across Chongqing also showcased their unique agricultural and cultural products. High-altitude edible mushrooms from Chengkou’s Rongbin Agriculture and eco-friendly teas from Jiming Tea Industry drew strong buyer interest for their quality and sustainability. Traditional horn carvings from Dianjiang Yingchun Arts and Crafts also stood out, highlighting Bashu-region craftsmanship. Direct interactions at the booth helped connect buyers with exhibitors and resulted in several cooperation deals.

Chongqing’s participation in the expo demonstrated the city’s progress in building modern manufacturing clusters and developing itself into an inland hub for open economic growth, officials from the Chongqing Municipal Commission of Commerce said. Leveraging its strengths in logistics, industry, and connectivity, Chongqing aims to expand practical cooperation with Russia in areas such as intelligent manufacturing, healthcare, and agricultural processing.
