The Efficiency of "Exhibition as Factory" Paired with Buyer Subsidies to Secure Global Orders

Leveraging local cluster advantages, TiTE x IHT features an "Exhibition as Factory, Sourcing as Decision-Making" model. International buyers can confirm product specifications on the show floor and visit surrounding factories within 24 hours for on-site audits and capacity evaluations, compressing international sourcing cycles and lowering procurement decision costs.

Visitor registration for the 2026 TiTE x IHT and applications for the International Buyer Accommodation Subsidy are now officially open. The subsidy targets major distribution channels and key procurement representatives from Europe, North America and emerging markets, providing dedicated accommodation stipends and tailored one-on-one business matchmaking services designed to help enterprises capture new Asian sourcing opportunities.
