In August, the CCPIT unveiled a mascot at a 100-day countdown launch ceremony.
"Its name is Linky, meaning we are all closely linked by the global supply chain," said CCPIT chairman Ren Hongbin.
"We aim to let world business leaders see more of how upstream, midstream and downstream enterprises work together at our supply chain expo. Such collaborations, once formed, will be the most long-term and sustainable," said Ren, adding that "we are all connected for a shared future."
