The key industries listed in the national industrial restructuring and revitalization plan will be highlighted in the exhibition area of the National Development and Reform Commission at the upcoming China Hi-tech Fair 2009.

The China Hi-tech Fair 2009 will be held in Shenzhen, Guangdong province from November 16 to 21, showcasing the country’s cutting edge hi-tech products.

Over the course of the last 10 years, the event has evolved into the largest and the most influential science and technology exhibition in China, serving as an important platform for economic and technological exchange. According to the organizers, the fair also plays an important role in globally promoting the country’s burgeoning hi-tech sector.

The 2009 event is set to take proprietary innovation as its theme and look to encourage companies to develop their own unique products and services.

Against the backdrop of the current economic turmoil, innovation and intellectual property rights (IPR) are seen as key to industrial restructuring, changing development patterns and maintaining stable and rapid economic growth.

Assessing the importance of the event, a spokesman for the organizers said such a high-level hi-tech event will be an important way of showcasing China’s technological progress in recent years, as well as promoting industrial restructuring and revitalization and bolstering Chinese companies’ commitment to self-owned innovation.
