Latest consumer tech takes center stage

William Huang, managing partner of EY China South, said the expo's platform value and the opportunities in China's market are the core drivers that attract exhibitors.

"Over the past six years, we have seen the scale of the expo continue to expand, and consumption scenarios become richer and smarter. Connected vehicles, smart home devices, AI glasses and intelligent robots are making a strong showing this year," Huang said.

"Market attention has shifted from early policy inquiries to long-term development plans, such as how to establish industrial chains in Hainan," he added.
