Shaping a new landscape
Jochen Witt and
Jochen, we last met as Shenzhen World readied for launch, a giant convention centre project (main photo) which your company played a key role in realising. Ironically, it is the Chinese market that is leading the way back for exhibitions post-Covid. How do you see that path in China and how have the last eight months affected your business plans?
Shenzhen World has set new standards in venue quality and it is a privilege for us having had the possibility to contribute to such standards over the last five years.
We are happy to see that the Chinese exhibition industry is recovering swiftly, mainly due to strict control measures and contact tracing. In any case, this trend is a good indication for the industry as a whole.
