This immersive initiative brought together international buyers and leading manufacturers across Foshan and Guangzhou, fostering direct engagement through factory visits, technical demonstrations, and tailored business discussions. The tour highlighted CIFF’s commitment to driving practical trade outcomes, with participants praising its efficiency and value in building lasting partnerships.

1. Buyers Hail Unmatched Sourcing Experience

International buyers consistently emphasized the tour’s role in streamlining their procurement strategies. From Southeast Asia to the Middle East, delegates highlighted CIFF’s ability to connect them with high-quality suppliers and innovative products.

2. Exhibitors Praise Targeted Engagement and Growth Opportunities

Suppliers participating in the factory tours reported highly positive experiences, citing precise client matching and meaningful interactions. Companies emphasized the tour’s role in expanding their international reach and fostering tangible business opportunities.

3. IBC’s 3M Services: The Engine Behind Seamless Connections

As Deng Jingjing, Deputy General Manager of China Foreign Trade Guangzhou Exhibition Co., Ltd., pointed out, “Global buyers can seek opportunities, foster collaboration, and explore future-oriented solutions at CIFF.”

This vision is realized through the success of the M2M Factory Tour, underpinned by CIFF’s InterBiz Club (IBC)—a dedicated community for international buyers that delivers integrated “3M Services”: Business Matching, Media Information, and Trip Management. The IBC model ensures that every interaction—from pre-tour need alignment to on-site logistics—is optimized for efficiency.

Business Matching: IBC’s pre-screened pairings between buyers and suppliers minimized mismatches, enabling focused discussions on product quality, pricing, and technical specifications.
Trip Management: Seamless coordination of factory visits, accommodations, and meetings allowed participants to concentrate on building trust and exploring innovations.
Media Support: Real-time updates and post-event follow-ups facilitated continuous engagement, turning initial contacts into long-term collaborations.

This holistic approach exemplifies CIFF’s mission to bridge global supply chains, whether online or offline, and positions the March 2026 fair as the next hub for transformative opportunities.
