The China International Big Data Industry Expo 2025 will debut a "Digital Silk Road" matchmaking zone in the W1 Intelligent Drivers Pavilion, highlighting trade-driven collaboration and the digital transformation needs of countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative. Twenty-five overseas companies from the United States, Zimbabwe, Pakistan, and beyond have confirmed their participation.

Covering 192 square meters, the zone will include a 120-square-meter exhibition area and a 72-square-meter networking space. Exhibitors will showcase innovations in AI, blockchain, and smart manufacturing, and connect with more than 150 domestic companies, including Huawei, China Southern Power Grid, and Global Big Data Exchange.

Throughout the expo, the zone will host demand release events, open networking sessions, and on-site agreement signings. Results will be compiled into a directory of participants, cooperation lists, and demand-matching analysis to support future expos.
