The event was sponsored by China Fortune Land Development Co (CFLD), and Techcode, an incubator management and global innovation and entrepreneurship company.

The roadshow is a platform for global investors to seek out partners and open Chinese markets. Participants from countries such as Germany, Finland, the US and Israel, showcase their cutting-edge industries, including internet of things, artificial intelligence (AI), smart home and virtual reality (VR).

A dazzling display of high-tech products awaits Chinese investors on site.
