During the period of tenth five-year plan the Chinese academy of sciences system will purchase a number of scientific testing instruments with a market capacity not less than US$1.5 billion
Developing Cisile, the China International Scientific Instrument and Laboratory Equipment Exhibition, is a large-scale exhibition authorised by the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China, supported by Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Machinery Industry Federation, Chinese Chemical Society and China Educational Instrument and Equipment Association, organized by China Instrument Manufacturer's Association and undertaken by Beijing Lamp Exhibiti.
Cisile is a sole international conference fully supported and sponsored by China's state authorities concerned and national industrial associations, which is one of the most important events in Asia.
The rapid development of Cisile has drawn great attention and concern from the global instrument and meter industry.
Since Cisile was founded in 2003, the exhibition office has always upheld the operational purpose featuring 'large scale, high standard and high ROR' for participants.
The last two exhibitions have become brand exhibitions in China's instrument and meter industry by the most participants, the scale of exhibitions and excellent results for participants.
The third exhibition held at Beijing Exhibition Centre in 2005, whose exhibiting area was increased to 10,710m2, attracted 322 manufacturers from over ten foreign countries such as the USA, Germany, the UK and Japan.
Professional audience was not only from provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities all over China but also from five continents of the world, especially from Asia.
Therefore, the current exhibition does not only face China but the world at large, especially masses of customers in Asia.
The 4th China International Scientific Instrument and Laboratory Equipment Exhibition (Cisile 2006 for short) is to be held at Beijing Exhibition Centre on 9-11 March 2006.
The current exhibition is expected to have an exhibiting area up to 15,000m2 and over 30,000 visitors.
With the theme of 'Show the Most Advanced Instrument and Promote the Most Leading-edge Technology', the exhibition helps international precision instrument manufacturers with the market expansion in China to strengthen exchanges and cooperation between domestic and foreign instrument and meter industries with a view to improving the overall equipment level of China's scientific research institutions.
Build up Asian trading platform of scientific instruments.
According to statistics, the audience of the last exhibition also included technicians, researchers and purchasers from the scientific research institutes, universities, labs, check and testing departments, manufacturing and processing units, etc, in the USA, Germany, the UK, Singapore, Indonesia, Turkey, Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Iran, besides those in the north, east, south, centre, northeast, northwest, and southwest of China as well as Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
Nearly half of the audience of the last exhibition aimed at selecting goods and ordering on the site by visiting the exhibition.
Also some of them came for understanding information on the instrument and meter industry, seeking cooperative partners or purchasing on the site.
With the ever expanding professional audience which is increasing year by year, Cisile is becoming a transnational trading platform of advanced scientific instruments step by step in Asia and even in the world at large.
China's scientific instrument market with huge potential.
Thanks to the ever increasing investment in science and technology, continuous emerging of innovative fruits and substantial rising of the international thesis number, the overall strength of China's science and technology has been ranked in the front of developing countries.
It is estimated that it will have a scientific instrument market with huge capacity and extensive application fields during the period of the tenth five-year plan.
In the educational system, several thousand colleges and universities will increase instruments and lab equipment year by year for educational purpose as the state is expanding investment in the education.
So will those scientific institutes.
It is estimated that the annual market capacity in the education field will be about US$3 billion.
The academy of sciences system has always been major customers of scientific instruments.
It is learned that during the period of tenth five-year plan the academy of sciences system will purchase a number of scientific testing instruments with a market capacity not less than US$1.5 billion excluding the local and military scientific research institutions.
In addition, improving the environment greatly is one of important tasks for China's social development during the period of tenth five-year plan.
Numerous environmental monitoring instruments will be needed to improve the monitoring technology of environmental protection.
The annual demand will exceed US$1 billion.
Besides, there is also huge demand and potential for scientific instruments in China's public health institutions, agriculture system, trans-century projects, key projects and check and testing departments in all industries, etc.
Beijing is home to the most and excellent elites and scientific research institutions whose talent competency and capital index of financial institutions are ranked while capital competency second in China.
Its scientific and technological strength is listed at the top of the country regarding competency in science and technology.
It has a strong basic research capacity.
Its innovative competency in science and technology is ranked top of the country.
Beijing has the largest scientific and technological research base in China, such scientific research institutes as CAS and Zhongguancun Science Park known as China's Silicon Valley.
There are 503 independent scientific research institutions with municipal level or above in the city which is ranked first in the country.
Every year it takes up one third of the fruits with state-level awards in the country.
In 2003 there were 274,000 people engaged in scientific research with RMB yuan 45.75 billion funds in science and technology activities.
Its R and D expenditure reached up to 25.28 billion accounting for 7.0% of GDP.
The year of 2003 also saw the registration of 32,173 technological contracts with a contractual turnover totaling RMB yuan 26.54 billion, of which RMB yuan 22.66 billion was related to technology trading.
Beijing is also the most developed region regarding the education in China.
In 2003 there were altogether 73 colleges and universities including the most renowned universities in China like Peking University, Tsinghua University, Renmin University of China and Beijing Normal University.
