The 24^th China Beijing International High-tech Expo (CHITEC), co-sponsored by China's Ministry of Science and Technology, China National Intellectual Property Administration, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), and the People's Government of Beijing Municipality and organized by CCPIT Beijing Sub-Council, will take place from September 24 to 28, 2021 in Beijing. To serve the national strategy of innovation-driven development and the ambition of building international sci-tech innovation centers, the 24^th CHITEC will echo the theme of the 2021 Zhongguancun (ZGC) Forum, giving local and international visitors an impressive experience of China's sci-tech excellence, especially our sci-tech innovations during the 13^th Five-year Plan (FYP) period from 2016-2020. The event will help micro/small/medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) connect with the capital market, facilitate the mobility and industrial application of sci-tech resources, and promote strategic cooperation.

As a continuity of the 2021 ZGC Forum, the 24^th CHITEC will include a 5-day exhibition in a temporary hall on the west of Haidian Park Road which accommodates some 300 exhibiters in a 15,000 m² area of five sections. It will also feature regular online displays on the ZGC Forum e-portal, CHITEC official website, CHITEC related mobile app, and other platforms to introduce some of the best companies and products and support business and cooperation opportunities. The CHITEC will never end.

As preparations get underway, the 24^th CHITEC will exhibit the following characteristics:

It will carry on the theme “Intelligence, Health, Carbon Neutrality” of the 2021 ZGC Forum. The exhibition area will cover sections of smart technology, comprehensive health, science and technologies of Winter Olympics, carbon neutrality, and sci-tech innovations of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. To be specific, the "smart technology" section will invite leading industrial players, together with their cutting-edge innovations, to promote industrial digitalization and digital industrialization progresses. The "comprehensive health" section will present the latest biomedicine and traditional Chinese medicine developments, smart health-care solutions, and new wearables to promote in-depth upstream and downstream integration along the industrial chain in addition to sustainable development of the health-care industry. Organized under the leadership of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the “Winter Olympics” exhibition will showcase state-level high & new technologies, innovative solutions and exemplary projects that help ensure the success of the Winter Olympics, as well as winter sports information and other contents of the sports industry. The “carbon neutrality” section will reveal the latest achievements in efficient energy use, renewables, novel power systems, pollution and carbon reduction, and green manufacturing. The “sci-tech innovations” section will display sci-tech innovations of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities to attract investment and strategic cooperation opportunities.

It will highlight the achievements of the 13^th FYP period. Science and technologies have played quite a role in promoting China’s economic and social progress and guiding high-quality national development during the 13th FYP period. The 24th CHITEC will enable visitors to gain an understanding of the achievements of building Beijing into an international sci-tech innovation center by presenting new technologies, new products and their new applications in diverse models and scenarios. For example, the “sci-tech in culture” exhibition will explain how recreational and cultural activities would be changed by the 5G evolution; the “model city of digital economy” exhibition will highlight digital technology innovations and help foster data-driven industries of the future.

It will highlight the development of MSMEs. The 24^th CHITEC is not designed only for high-end sci-tech industries; it is also a stage for MSMEs to showcase their innovative ingenuity.
