This year's West Expo has launched more than 10,000 projects, of which medical and health care, education, water conservancy and other projects related to people's livelihood account for about 28%, and the investment amount also accounts for nearly 30% of the total. It can be said that the cooperation between the east and the west is fully reflected in form and content. Another interesting feature is that this year's West Expo specially put forward the slogan of paying attention to practical results and not holding retreats, and all investment promotion activities were integrated into 48 items. Compared with previous exhibitions, the number of exhibition halls is greatly reduced, and all exhibition halls do not engage in pure image display, but display their own cooperative projects and advanced technologies, which is more substantial.

This is an exchange platform full of business opportunities. The Western Conference is not only a platform for economic and trade exchanges between eastern and western provinces, but also an important platform for domestic absorption and utilization of foreign capital. Every year, a group of Fortune 500 companies attend the conference. The Western Conference established the International Trade Pavilion for the first time, with more than 500 booths. The reporter interviewed a number of representatives of foreign companies, and they all expressed great optimism about the economic prospects of western China. In addition to these big companies and enterprises, many individuals with their own entrepreneurial dreams are looking for business opportunities. For example, Ann has a retired teacher, Mr. Xiao, who used to be a physics teacher in a middle school and was very interested in solar energy. He designed a solar fish pond and a solar dryer, and he really wanted to find an investor at the West Expo to make these projects into objects and serve the society. * * * 56 centralized contracted projects with a total investment of 65.78 billion yuan and foreign investment of 60.969 billion yuan.
