China’s first marine economy investment fair is scheduled to open in Ningbo from November 10th to 12th. This is another big event after Zhejiang was designated as a national demo zone of marine economy. 
This fair, with the theme of “scientific usage of blue territory and quick upgrading” is cosponsored by the People’s Government of Zhejiang Province and SOA. On the agenda there are activities of image promotions, exhibitions, contract signing ceremonies, forums, job fairs, etc. It is aimed to gather resources abroad and home for developing marine economy and build a comprehensive platform for cooperation, exchange and investment. It is also expected that the fair can promote the development of national and Zhejiang’s marine economy.
It is learned that the Fair will place its main venue at the Ningbo international conference and exhibition center and other sub venues at Zhejiang, Shandong, and Guangdong. Promotions and trade talks will be held at Ningbo Shangri La Hotel where a large number of major projects will be signed. In addition, a talent fair will be held, aiming to recruit talents from higher institutions and corporations from around the province. Also, some academicians and experts will be invited to offer counseling services to related companies. Concurrently, the 2011 China’s marine economy summit will be held in Shipu, Xiangshan County.
Sources say that the Fair is an important platform for Zhejiang to advance marine economy staged by the provincial government as a move to implement the national strategy of developing marine economy. Ningbo will spare no efforts to make it successful, says an official.
In fact, in building the demo area of marine economy, Zhejiang has made ambitious plans: to establish an international bulk-stock logistics center, a demo zone of island exploration, a demo zone of marine industrial development, as well as demo zones of land-sea coordinated development, good oceanic ecology and clean energy. The recently established Ningbo bulk-commodity exchange center is a case in point in the blueprint for marine economy.
