Malaysia's involvement in the three-day event is aimed at offering a platform for both local Chinese and Malaysian companies to forge joint ventures, set up wholly foreign-owned enterprises and acquire master franchising.

The CFE is considered China's premier exhibition for franchises and is a launch pad for international brands to grow their franchise business in China. The CFE has been organised for the past 16 years and has been attracting thousands of franchisors from across China and around the world to display their concepts, products and services to the Chinese investors. Among the franchisors attending the event are those from Americas, Europe and Asia. The event also attracts over 300,000 attendees comprising investors looking for franchising opportunities.

Given China's status as Malaysia's main trading partner, MATRADE has set up five trade offices in China namely in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Guangzhou and Hong Kong (Greater China) -- to facilitate import of Malaysian products and services from the Chinese companies.
