as the world is undergoing major changes and adjustments, there are quite a lot of uncertainties for international trade. in addition to confusions and worries, exhibitors of jinhan fair are further convinced that innovation is the core driving force for development. on the one hand, they strengthen product r&d and increase the added value of products on strength of new materials, new designs and new functions internally. on the other hand, they get access to international certification and apply for patents to strengthen brand value and enhance competences in pricing and risk defense.
