Su Zimeng pointed out in his speech that BICES, based in China and facing the world, not only provided assistance for the technical progress, brand improvement and market expansion of all exhibitors, but also provided a high-end platform for the global engineering machinery, building materials machinery, mining machinery, special vehicles and other related enterprises in the whole industry chain and supply chain to realize value added and cooperate and exchange with users. It has been widely recognized and actively reported by more than 200 news organizations, including mainstream media at home and abroad, as well as key publicity on the Internet, WeChat official account and so on. BICES has become a benchmark for industry enterprises and institutions to showcase innovative achievements and demonstrate sustainable development capabilities, and has become a globally influential event in the construction machinery industry.
Regarding the operation of the construction machinery industry in 2024, Su Zimeng stated that the industry conscientiously implements the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, actively responds to the impact of various factors such as the continuous decline of the domestic real estate industry and changes in the international market environment, overcomes difficulties, and strives for progress. The overall economic operation of the industry is stable, high-quality development is solidly promoted, and the achievements of high-end, intelligent, and green development are fruitful. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and a crucial year for the implementation of the 14th Five Year Plan.

During this period, the industry has experienced highs and lows, and the total sales scale of the construction machinery industry has grown from about 20 billion yuan to about 900 billion yuan now. This is inseparable from the help and support of friends from various sectors such as host enterprises, supporting enterprises, users, and news media in the industry. For the future, Qi Jun stated that the BICES organizing committee will continue to provide better services to everyone, making BICES a better platform for supporting and leading industry exhibitions and exchanges, promoting industry progress, especially in the development of technology, green innovation, and the creation of new quality productivity, playing an active role, and making BICES a world-class and authoritative event in the construction machinery industry.
