The total export of goods and services from China in 2001 was USD 266 billion whilst imports were USD 244 billion.
In the priority sectors set by the Chinese economy: chemical industry, pharmaceutical engineering, petrochemistry, food technology, biotechnology and environmental protection, there is a serious need for equipment, technologies and know-how.
Achemasia offers the best possible show case for the equipment provision sector and for new contacts and new collaborative ventures to be built up and expanded.
In 2004 more than 400 exhibitors from about 25 countries and 20,000 visitors are expected.
Achemasia has a much more international character than any comparable event and is especially important for China.
As the event organiser, Dechema (Society for Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, Germany) is preparing for Achemasia in close cooperation with its Chinese sister society CIESC (Chemical Industry and Engineering Society of China), with CCATA (China Chemical Anticorrosion Technology Association), with CCPIT-CIEC (China Council for the Promotion of International Trade - China International Exhibition Centre), with Chinese ministries and with some 20 further high-level specialist technical organisations from within Asia and throughout the world.
High technology, technology transfer, modernisation and the expansion of present capacity are the foundations that China is using on the way to being a global player.
This will open up huge opportunities not only for large international companies but also specifically for smaller and medium-sized companies and service providers.
The Exhibition and Congress of Achemasia are tailor-made to fulfil these requirements.
Exhibition themes include: Chemical Apparatus and Plant Construction, Process Technology, Petrochemistry, Maintenance and Qualtity Assurance, Environmental Protection, Water Treatment, Pharmaceutical Industry, Biotechnology, Food Industry, Agrochemistry, Laboratory and Analytical Techniques, Packaging and Storage Techniques, Resources Development.
The associated Congress will have as topics: Pharmaceutical Production Technologies, Separation Technologies, Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering.
