Carrying with it eight years of accumulated warmth and depth, the Expo once again illuminated the brilliance, hope, and promise of Australia–China economic and trade relations.
This was more than an exhibition—it was a dialogue across time and space, a vivid reflection of the two nations’ shared exploration of new paths to cooperation in a new era. From policy, business, and academic leaders engaging in brainstorming sessions, to dazzling brand showcases; from firm handshakes at contract signings, to sparks of thought in forum discussions; from cultural performances stirring emotions, to countless memorable moments—together they formed the ten highlights of this year’s Expo, painting a clear blueprint for deeper ties and a win–win future between Australia and China.
Here, we are not only looking back, but also preserving these moments—because every highlight is a prologue to the future.

Dazzling Moment 2: Grand Opening — Gathering of the Elite, A Celebration Together
On the morning of August 14, Melbourne’s sky was clear and bright, with a gentle breeze along the Yarra River. Outside the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, colorful flags fluttered and crowds gathered, as an atmosphere of joy and anticipation filled the air. With the resounding beat of majestic drums, the 2025 ACETIE officially commenced amidst great fanfare.
This was a celebration spanning oceans, connecting two nations; a journey continuing for eight years, jointly envisioning the future. Over the three-day exhibition (August 14–16), political leaders, business elites, cultural figures, and industry pioneers from both Australia and China gathered on this vibrant Southern Hemisphere stage to embark on a new round of cooperation and exchange.
The opening ceremony drew a galaxy of distinguished guests. Ambassador Xiao Qian of China to Australia attended in person, standing alongside His Excellency Andrew Robb, Chair of the ACETIE Organizing Committee and former Australian Minister for Trade and Investment; Danny Pearson, Victorian Minister for Economic Growth, Jobs and Treasury; Gareth Evans, former Foreign Minister, former Chancellor and Distinguished Professor at Australian National University; Fang Xinwen, Consul General of China in Melbourne; Li Mang, President of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce; Ma Lei, Chief Representative of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade in Australia; His Excellency Bruce Atkinson, Executive Chairman of ACETIE and former President of the Victorian Legislative Council; and Chijie Chao, Commercial Counsellor of the Chinese Consulate in Melbourne, among other dignitaries and business leaders.

With golden scissors in hand, they cut the ribbon together—marking the first stroke of a new chapter. Under the flash of cameras, this historic moment was captured countless times and engraved deeply in the hearts of all attendees.
As the exhibition hall doors slowly opened, a wave of applause surged through the venue. Stepping inside, one entered a vibrant garden of collaboration: hundreds of enterprises displayed exquisite booths spanning high technology, new energy, service trade, cultural and creative industries, tourism and leisure, and gourmet food and wine. The exhibition vividly showcased the vast prospects and dynamic vitality of multi-sector economic and trade cooperation between China and Australia.
炫目瞬间三：高峰论坛——思想激荡 携手共赢
如果说开幕式为本届博览会揭开了序幕，那么随后举行的主论坛与系列平行论坛，则是整场盛会的思想高峰与智慧盛宴。
主论坛现场座无虚席，来自政界、商界、学界的重量级嘉宾汇聚一堂，围绕双边经贸、政策趋势、产业合作等话题展开深入探讨。主持人张俪与澳大利亚中国工商业委员会维州及塔州首席执行官毕芮，在热烈的掌声中，正式揭开这场智慧交响的序幕。
安德鲁·罗布主席的致辞饱含深情。他回顾了澳中合作的辉煌历程，强调两国经济互补优势明显，并以亲身赴华考察的见闻，生动描绘出中国在人工智能、新能源等领域的飞速发展。他坚信，未来澳中必将在创新合作中继续书写共赢篇章。
中国驻澳大使肖千的讲话，则展现出大国外交的胸怀。他指出，中澳合作不仅能为两国经济注入新动力，更能为区域繁荣与全球发展贡献力量。在他的声音中，传递出对未来合作的坚定信心与深切期待。
作为每年都到场参与的老朋友，前外交部长盖瑞思·埃文斯教授则从国际关系角度，冷静剖析大国博弈中的不确定性。他强调，分歧不应成为阻碍，真正重要的，是通过务实合作与持续对话，找到共赢之道。论坛的压轴环节，是《澳中博览会宣言》的正式发布。宣言写道：“值此《中澳自由贸易协定》签署十周年之际，ACETIE 2025将致力于推动和深化澳中贸易与投资合作，助力两国在可持续增长、创新发展及相互理解方面不断迈进，开创合作新局面。”字字铿锵，既是总结，更是承诺；既是展望，更是行动。
除主论坛外，今年的平行论坛全面升级，议题广泛而深刻。从贸易与关税，到机器人、电动车与人工智能；从中国智能制造，到康养与健康；从经贸创投，到太空舱移动房屋创新；从企业出海，到华文文学……无论是经济硬核，还是文化软实力，都在这三天里得到充分展示与交流。论坛现场思维交锋、观点碰撞，思想的火花在不同领域之间交织闪耀。
有人说，展会让我们看见现实，而论坛则让我们看见未来。正是在这些高峰对话中，中澳双方彼此聆听、彼此理解，搭建起从经济到人文的多重桥梁。论坛结束之际，许多嘉宾仍意犹未尽，期待在接下来的合作中将思想付诸实践，将共识化为行动。
Dazzling Moment 3: Summit Forums — Inspiring Ideas, Pursuing Win–Win Collaboration
If the opening ceremony marked the curtain-raiser of this year’s Expo, the subsequent main forum and parallel forums represented the intellectual summit and feast of ideas for the entire event.
The main forum was packed to capacity, bringing together heavyweight guests from politics, business, and academia to engage in in-depth discussions on bilateral trade, policy trends, and industrial cooperation. With warm applause, hosts Zhang Li and Ms. Virginia Birrell, CEO of the Australia-China Business Council (ACBC) Victoria and Tasmania, officially opened this symphony of wisdom.
Chairman Andrew Robb delivered a heartfelt address, reflecting on the remarkable history of Australia–China cooperation. He highlighted the complementary strengths of the two economies and vividly described China’s rapid advancements in fields such as artificial intelligence and new energy, drawn from his own visits to the country. He expressed strong confidence that Australia and China will continue to write new chapters of mutual success through innovative cooperation.
Ambassador Xiao Qian of China to Australia showcased the vision of major-power diplomacy. He emphasized that Australia–China collaboration not only injects new momentum into both economies but also contributes to regional prosperity and global development. His remarks conveyed firm confidence and high expectations for future cooperation.
As a long-time participant, Professor Gareth Evans, former Foreign Minister, provided a calm and insightful analysis of uncertainties in great-power dynamics from an international relations perspective. He stressed that differences should not be obstacles; what truly matters is finding pathways to mutual benefit through pragmatic cooperation and sustained dialogue.
The forum’s culminating moment was the official release of the ACETIE Declaration, which stated:
"On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Australia–China Free Trade Agreement, ACETIE 2025 is committed to promoting and deepening trade and investment cooperation between Australia and China, advancing sustainable growth, innovative development, and mutual understanding, and opening new horizons for collaborative progress." Every word resonated with determination—both a summary and a commitment, both a vision and a call to action.
Beyond the main forum, this year’s parallel forums were fully upgraded, featuring a broad and profound range of topics: from trade and tariffs to robotics, electric vehicles, and artificial intelligence; from Chinese smart manufacturing to wellness and healthcare; from economic and trade venture investment to innovations in mobile “space capsule” housing; from international expansion of enterprises to Chinese-language literature. Whether focused on hard economic sectors or soft cultural influence, these three days provided rich opportunities for display, discussion, and exchange. Sparks of thought and clashing viewpoints illuminated the intersections of different fields.
As some observers have said, exhibitions allow us to see the present, while forums allow us to see the future. Through these high-level dialogues, both Australia and China listened, understood, and built multiple bridges spanning economic and cultural realms. As the forums concluded, many attendees remained inspired, eager to turn ideas into action and consensus into concrete cooperation.
炫目瞬间四：展商荟萃——随着政要巡馆的镜头，一览展会盛景

During the interval following the main forum, Ambassador Xiao Qian and a delegation of dignitaries toured the exhibition halls, sparking waves of excitement. Amid flowing crowds, the dazzling panorama of the Expo left an unforgettable impression.
This year, nearly 200 exhibitors from Australia and China participated, spanning multiple industries, including artificial intelligence, new energy vehicles, innovative building materials, education, tourism, wine, infant formula, and health products. Over a thousand products were showcased, ranging from China’s commercial aircraft, electric vehicles, intelligent heavy trucks, apple capsules, modular homes, smart RVs, intelligent forklifts, charging stations, solar energy solutions, robots, and daily-use items, to Australia’s wine, infant formula, health products, seafood, leather goods, and service trade offerings.
Upon entering the exhibition hall, visitors were greeted by major brands: Hainan Airlines, Juneyao Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Air China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, ANZ, Bank of China, China Telecom, China Mobile, China National Heavy Duty Truck Group, BYD, Zeekr, Hisense, and Luzhou Laojiao, among others.

Simultaneously, displays of calligraphy, kung fu, and Hanfu—China’s intangible cultural heritage—offered visitors a chance to experience the unique charm of Eastern culture alongside technological marvels.

In just a few days, numerous preliminary cooperation intentions were established across booths, as ideas and business opportunities collided, generating momentum to drive industrial upgrading and economic interconnection.
IThe 2025 ACETIE was not just a showcase of products and services—it was a live demonstration of “new-quality productivity.” From financial giants to start-ups, from new energy technologies to cultural and creative innovations, every exhibitor found their stage here. The gathering of exhibitors and the lively crowds collectively painted a vibrant picture of Australia–China cooperation, laying a solid foundation for future industrial synergy and shared success.
炫目瞬间五：蛋糕惊喜——中澳自贸协议十周年的主场庆典仪式
开幕当天下午的主论坛上，《中澳自由贸易协定》签署十周年成为重要话题。当天下午的主题论坛“贸易和关税”一结束，宽敞明亮的论坛讲台上推上来一个带着澳中博览会标志的巨型蛋糕，蛋糕上以中英文写着：庆祝中澳自由贸易协定签署十周年。这个长一米二，宽六十公分的水果奶油蛋糕，由墨尔本著名糕点公司Sam Baking High精心设计制作，提供赞助，一出场就把整个论坛的气氛推向高潮。
作为中澳自贸协议的澳洲签署人，Andrew Robb先生十年来团结中澳双边政商界人士，坚持不懈，维护和推动自贸协议的实施，促进双边经贸的发展和繁荣，澳中博览会就因此应运而生。罗布先生激动万分，走向讲台，主持了分切蛋糕仪式，一时间掌声雷动，闪光灯频频闪动，记录下来这难忘的仪式。

Dazzling Moment 5: Cake Surprise — Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Australia–China Free Trade Agreement
During the afternoon main forum on the opening day, the 10th anniversary of the Australia–China Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA) became a focal point. Following the conclusion of the themed forum on “Trade and Tariffs,” a giant cake bearing the ACETIE logo was wheeled onto the spacious, well-lit stage. Inscribed in both Chinese and English was the message: “Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Australia–China Free Trade Agreement.” Measuring 1.2 meters long and 60 centimeters wide, this fruit and cream cake was meticulously crafted by Melbourne’s renowned pastry company, Sam Baking High, which sponsored the creation. Its arrival immediately elevated the atmosphere of the forum to a new high.
As one of the Australian signatories of ChAFTA, Mr. Andrew Robb has, over the past decade, united political and business leaders from both countries, tirelessly promoting the agreement and fostering bilateral economic growth and prosperity. The Australia–China Economic Trade & Investment Expo (ACETIE) emerged as a result of these efforts. Filled with emotion, Mr. Robb stepped onto the stage to lead the ceremonial cake-cutting, eliciting thunderous applause and countless flashes as this unforgettable moment was captured.
During the tea break, hundreds of guests shared the delicious anniversary cake, celebrating a decade of cooperation under ChAFTA. The cake at the Expo forum was more than a ceremonial gesture—it was a declaration: in today’s complex and ever-changing global economic landscape, the close economic collaboration between Australia and China, and their steadfast commitment to globalization, represents both a meaningful and the only viable choice.
炫目瞬间六：活动纷呈——多元交流 点亮博览会
如果说展馆内的展商展示是本届博览会的“硬核引擎”，那么丰富多彩的活动现场则是点燃氛围的“文化火花”。在主会场及分区舞台，活动环环相扣，观众在穿梭之间，仿佛置身一场跨越国界的嘉年华。
2025澳中博览会的主体场地在一号大门，场地旁边，一片宽广而又醒目的大型演出场地——澳中博览会演艺专区吸引着雅拉河两岸的游客，走进展馆，参加展会。三天来，博览会艺术总监徐晓丽女士在这里汇聚了100多个艺术社团，演出了108场精彩节目。
开幕仪式后，来自中澳两国的文艺表演为博览会注入了浓浓的人文气息。悠扬的古筝与动感的西方弦乐同台交织，赢得观众阵阵掌声。舞台中央，汉服秀与澳洲本土艺术表演相映成趣，中西文化在这里水乳交融，呈现出别样的视觉盛宴。
与此同时，行业论坛与主题沙龙人气爆棚。新能源、人工智能、跨境电商等议题，吸引了来自政商学界的权威嘉宾与企业代表同台分享，思想火花在对话中不断迸发，令听众收获颇丰。许多年轻创业者在论坛结束后，主动围上去与专家深入交流，现场弥漫着浓厚的学术与创新氛围。
在互动体验区，观众的热情同样高涨。科技展台上的智能机器人吸引了孩子们的目光，他们兴奋地与机器人对话、合影；传统文化区里，书法、功夫和茶艺展示让不少外国友人流连忘返，纷纷亲手体验，感受东方文化的独特魅力。一位本地观众笑言：“这不仅是一场展览，更是一场沉浸式的跨文化之旅。”
三天来，除了演艺活动外，全场举办大型交流活动二十余场，包括论坛、晚宴、讲座、路演、商务对接、双语招牌、签约仪式等等，活动现场的每一个瞬间，都折射出交流与互鉴的价值。从学术论坛到文化表演，从商业对接到互动体验，2025澳中博览会不仅仅是一个展商的舞台，更是一个让思想交汇、文化交融、合作共赢的国际平台。
Dazzling Moment 6: Vibrant Activities — Diverse Exchanges Lighting Up the Expo
If the exhibitor displays inside the halls were the “hardcore engine” of this year’s Expo, then the lively on-site activities served as the “cultural spark” igniting the atmosphere. Across the main venue and secondary stages, events were seamlessly interconnected, allowing visitors to feel as if they were immersed in a cross-border carnival.
The main venue of the 2025 ACETIE was Gate 1, adjacent to a spacious and prominent performance area—the ACETIE Performing Arts Zone—attracting visitors from both sides of the Yarra River. Over the three days, under the direction of Art Director Ms. Xu Xiaoli, more than 100 art groups performed 108 outstanding programs.
Following the opening ceremony, artistic performances from both Australia and China infused the Expo with a rich cultural atmosphere. The melodious notes of the guzheng intertwined with dynamic Western string music, eliciting rounds of applause. On the central stage, Hanfu fashion shows complemented local Australian performances, blending Eastern and Western cultures into a unique visual feast.
At the same time, industry forums and themed salons were packed with attendees. Topics including new energy, artificial intelligence, and cross-border e-commerce attracted authoritative guests and enterprise representatives from politics, business, and academia to share insights, sparking dynamic exchanges of ideas. Many young entrepreneurs actively engaged experts after the forums, creating a vibrant atmosphere of scholarship and innovation.
In the interactive experience zones, audience enthusiasm was equally high. Intelligent robots at technology booths captured children’s attention, who excitedly interacted and took photos with them. In the traditional culture zone, calligraphy, kung fu, and tea art displays fascinated many foreign visitors, who eagerly tried their hand at these experiences, gaining a firsthand appreciation of Eastern culture. One local attendee remarked, “This is not just an exhibition—it’s an immersive cross-cultural journey.”
Over the three days, beyond the performing arts, more than twenty major interactive events were held, including forums, banquets, lectures, roadshows, business matching, bilingual signage, and signing ceremonies. Every moment on site reflected the value of exchange and mutual learning. From academic forums to cultural performances, from business matchmaking to interactive experiences, ACETIE 2025 was not just a stage for exhibitors—it was an international platform where ideas converged, cultures blended, and cooperation flourished.

Dazzling Moment 7: Starry Night Celebration — Gala Dinner & Awards Ceremony
On a crisp early spring evening in Melbourne, stars sparkled along the Yarra River. On August 14, following the conclusion of the day’s Expo activities, political and business elites, along with specially invited guests from both Australia and China, gathered at the Sovereign Ballroom of the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre to witness the grand 2025 ACETIE Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony. Under glittering lights, amidst clinking glasses, lively conversations blended with melodious music, creating a jubilant symphony that marked the evening’s peak.
The dinner commenced with the solemn joint rendition of the national anthems of Australia and China. Representatives from politics, business, and culture delivered speeches one after another. The Expo Organizing Committee Chair and former Australian Minister for Trade and Investment, His Excellency Andrew Robb, opened with a warm “Hello,” reflecting on decades of Australia–China economic cooperation, emphasizing the importance of mutual trust and openness, and calling on both nations to uphold free trade and resist protectionism. Subsequently, representatives from the Victorian government, Consul General Fang Xinwen of China in Melbourne, and other dignitaries and industry leaders took the stage, expressing strong confidence and high expectations for the future of bilateral cooperation. Every round of applause echoed the eagerness to deepen exchanges.
As the speeches concluded, the stage was illuminated with brilliant lighting. The New Oriental Arts Troupe performed traditional Chinese ensembles such as “Dance of the Golden Snake” and “General’s Command”, awakening the enthusiasm of all guests; the Australian Arts Troupe presented excerpts from the classic opera The Phantom of the Opera, transporting the audience into a dreamlike artistic realm; and the cross-cultural collaboration “Story of the Plum Blossom”, featuring Chinese traditional music and Aboriginal Australian instruments, elevated the fusion of Eastern and Western culture to a climax. In that moment, music and culture transcended language, resonating directly with the hearts of the audience.
The Awards Ceremony brought the evening to its pinnacle.

Companies including Hainan Airlines, ROBO-TEK, YunZi Holdings, Laifeng Vine Tea, China National Heavy Duty Truck Group, HerbTwin, and Foot Solutions were called to the stage to receive their awards, their smiles reflecting pride and honor. The presentation of the Young Talent Awards further signaled the rising new forces of Australia–China cooperation.
Amid clinking glasses, laughter of friendship intertwined with pledges of collaboration; amid songs and applause, the grand blueprint of bilateral relations slowly unfolded. The Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony were not only a celebration of excellence but also a spiritual gathering that consolidated faith and envisioned the future. Under the starry night and shimmering lights, ACETIE 2025 reached its most brilliant chord.

As a key event commemorating the 10th anniversary of the ChAFTA, another highlight was the presentation of the ChAFTA Excellence Awards. The ACETIE Organizing Committee selected fifty outstanding enterprises and institutions from past exhibitors for recognition.
Recipients of the ChAFTA Excellence Award were evaluated comprehensively based on the following criteria: 1) being an ACETIE exhibitor with authoritative recommendation from the organizers; 2) making pioneering contributions to Australia–China economic and trade relations; 3) maintaining a long-term record of good bilateral business practices; and 4) demonstrating strong public-spiritedness and commitment to the development of bilateral trade relations.

Fifty renowned Australian and Chinese enterprises received the Excellence Award, each presented with a crystal trophy. Among them were Fortune 500 companies and major Chinese state-owned enterprises, Australian government-backed business institutions, newly emerging entrants to the Australian market, as well as long-established companies with decades of bilateral operations.
Amid a jubilant atmosphere, representatives of award-winning organizations—Mr. Wang Weiyu, Chairman of World Cable Company; Ms. Amy Cai of the Li Brothers Company; and Mr. Tony Coombs, CEO of Harvest Films Group—delivered speeches, sharing their joy and insights from receiving the award, and reaffirming their steadfast support for Australia–China economic and trade relations.
炫目瞬间九：现场对接——各大商社预先对接，各行各业盯紧商机
徜徉在本届澳中博览会，可以看到不同时期的展台有着不同的画风，有时是疾风暴雨般人头攒动，有时是春风化雨般话语潺潺，这里边都少不了展商之间或本地客商和展商之间不同形式的对话和交流。
为迎接中国企业出海，主办方和本地强有力的商用机构和组织深度沟通，提前和参展客商进行沟通和对接。其中，澳洲农场主协会、澳洲机器人协会，都设有展台直接了解和对接中国的新质生产力产品。而上海总商会对接上海工业合作协会代表团，澳中商桥和山东商会对接的青岛商务代表团，澳洲豫商总会对接河南商务代表团，澳洲旅游集团和广东电白商会对接茂名商务代表团，澳洲秦商筹备会对接西安商务局代表团，墨尔本市商团对接的天津香港商会代表团，四川商务群体对接的四川亚伯拉罕商务平台等等。非常扎实地进行预先沟通和对接，取得了良好的效果。
对接促进了澳中展商的有效交流，中方的企业和品牌找到了出海方向，和澳洲企业得到了商机。澳中博览会签约仪式不断，三天意向签约和成交超过20亿澳币。
Dazzling Moment 9: On-Site Matchmaking — Businesses Seize Opportunities Across Industries
Strolling through the 2025 ACETIE, visitors could experience varied scenes across different exhibition areas—sometimes bustling like a storm, sometimes flowing gently like spring rain. At the heart of it all were the diverse dialogues and exchanges between exhibitors, as well as between local buyers and Chinese exhibitors.
To support Chinese enterprises going global, the organizers engaged deeply with strong local commercial institutions and organizations, arranging pre-event communications and matchmaking with participating exhibitors. For instance, the Australian Farmers Association and the Australian Robotics Association set up booths to directly learn about and engage with China’s “new-quality productivity” products. The Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce coordinated with the Shanghai Industrial Cooperation Association delegation; the Australia–China Business Bridge and Shandong Chamber of Commerce connected with the Qingdao Business Delegation; the Australian Henan Business Association liaised with the Henan Business Delegation; the Australian Tourism Group and Guangdong Dianbai Chamber of Commerce connected with the Maoming Business Delegation; the Australian Qin Business Preparatory Committee coordinated with the Xi’an Business Bureau delegation; the Melbourne City Business Group engaged with the Tianjin Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce delegation; and the Sichuan business community worked with the Sichuan Abraham Business Platform, among others. These pre-arranged communications and matchmakings were conducted meticulously and yielded excellent results.
These exchanges facilitated effective interaction between Australian and Chinese exhibitors. Chinese enterprises and brands discovered pathways to international markets, while Australian businesses gained valuable opportunities. Across the three-day Expo, signing ceremonies were frequent, with preliminary and final agreements exceeding AUD 2 billion, highlighting the tangible commercial outcomes of ACETIE 2025.
炫目瞬间十：永不落幕——依依惜别之后的展后展和澳洲落地
三日展期转瞬即逝，然而2025澳中博览会所留下的影响与余韵，远未散去。8月16日下午，随着最后一场讲座的落幕与展厅人潮的渐散，本届博览会在热烈、感动与不舍中缓缓画上句点。但正如所有与会者心中所共识的——这不是结束，而是新的起点。
回顾三天来的盛况：从高层对话到企业签约，从思想碰撞到文化交融，从展览现场到联欢晚宴，澳中两国以开放的姿态和务实的合作，共同书写了一幅互利共赢、携手共进的动人画卷。
临别时，很多博览会的新朋旧友都依依不舍，大家相互加上微信留下电话，相互介绍商业机会。不少客商感慨万分，分享自己的收获与感受。太空舱的市场负责人四姐告诉记者：三天来，没有一刻闲暇，最后撤展时，还有近十个感兴趣的客户在追问相关安装细节。而中国来的智能轮椅制造商激动地说，虽然大批样品到的很晚，但一进场就被客户盯上，顺势现场卖出去了一批，对于澳洲市场充满了信心。明年一定及早准备澳中博览会，把更多的优质产品带过来。
以高科技著称的女性健康用品Herbtwin的总经理郭娜女士表示，澳中博览会让她们的品牌知名度进一步提升，也吸引力一张粉丝，可谓收获满满。来凤乡投是以当地独特的来凤藤茶及副产品为主，这次实现了产品落地澳洲，并获得了澳洲客户的追捧，该公司的副总经理段振亚表示非常满意澳中博览会之行。云南白药落地澳洲，首次进入中澳博览会就博得满堂彩，这使年轻的澳洲总代理Nancy Yang很高兴，作为中国一流大健康品牌的代表，她既有压力，也充满了动力。而第二次率团来澳洲的中国知名机器人企业万德昌的老总邹元华，非常兴奋地看到ai智能和机器人产品在澳中博览会中的比重稳步上升，并备受欢迎。作为中国科学院持股的高科技企业，他们非常愿意和澳中博览会这样的平台保持密切合作，明年他将带领更多的同行和更先进的产品，惊艳2026澳中博览会！
随着最后一张展台被收起，最后一面合作意向书签署完毕，2025澳中博览会的帷幕缓缓落下。但更多的故事，正在此刻悄然萌芽——那些在展位边促膝而谈的合作计划，那些论坛中碰撞出的灵感火花，那些文化演出后交换联系方式的友好问候，都将在未来的日子里不断延展，继续发酵。
再见！还有相当一部分展商，人走了，心留下来，产品也留下了。为了让他们把心和产品一起留下了，主办方和WTC世贸中心合作，共同建立“中澳展览贸易中心”，开启90天免费“展后展“模式，为展商除去后顾之忧，提供后续展示和市场推广全面服务，使他们有机会在澳洲从容落地。此次，澳中博览会展商一次在“中澳展览贸易中心”性落地二十余家企业，落地展商安心满意而归。
在这个春意初现的八月，雅拉河畔见证了中澳合作的新篇章。而在博览会落幕的这一刻，我们更清晰地听见了未来的回响——跨越海洋，连接彼此；着眼当下，共塑远景。
Dazzling Moment 10: Never Ending — Post-Expo Continuation and Australian Market Landing
The three-day Expo passed in the blink of an eye, yet the impact and resonance of ACETIE 2025 linger far beyond its conclusion. On the afternoon of August 16, as the final lecture ended and the crowds gradually dispersed, the Expo drew to a close amid warmth, emotion, and reluctant farewells. But as all attendees agreed in their hearts—this was not an ending, but a new beginning.
Reflecting on the three days of activity: from high-level dialogues to enterprise signings, from the collision of ideas to cultural exchanges, from exhibition halls to gala dinners, Australia and China together, with openness and pragmatic collaboration, painted a compelling picture of mutual benefit and shared progress.
At the farewell, many new and old friends exchanged contacts, shared business opportunities, and reflected on their gains. The market director of the modular capsule company, Ms. Si Jie, told reporters that the three days had been non-stop, and even during the final dismantling of the booth, nearly ten interested clients were still inquiring about installation details. A Chinese smart wheelchair manufacturer excitedly shared that, although a large batch of samples arrived late, their products immediately caught clients’ attention and were sold on-site, giving them strong confidence in the Australian market. They pledged to prepare earlier next year and bring even more high-quality products to ACETIE.

Ms. Guo Na, General Manager of Herbtwin, a high-tech women’s health brand, noted that the Expo further enhanced brand awareness and attracted a significant following, describing the experience as a fruitful success. Laifeng Township Investment, focusing on local Laifeng vine tea and related products, successfully established their products in Australia, gaining strong customer demand; Vice General Manager Duan Zhenya expressed full satisfaction with the Expo experience. Yunnan Baiyao made its Australian debut at ACETIE, earning enthusiastic reception; young Australian distributor Nancy Yang shared both the pressure and motivation of representing a top Chinese healthcare brand. The second-time participant, Mr. Zou Yuanhua, CEO of the renowned Chinese robotics company Wandechang, was thrilled to see the rising proportion and popularity of AI and robotics products at ACETIE. As a high-tech enterprise affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, they are eager to maintain close collaboration with ACETIE, promising to bring more peers and advanced products to the 2026 Expo.
As the last booth was dismantled and the final cooperation agreements signed, the curtain fell on ACETIE 2025. Yet many stories were quietly taking root—collaboration plans discussed at booths, sparks of inspiration from forums, and friendly exchanges after cultural performances—each destined to grow and develop in the days ahead.
Farewell! For many exhibitors, though people departed, their hearts and products remained. To help them continue this presence, the organizers, in partnership with the WTC Melbourne, established the Australia-China Exhibition & Trade Center, launching a 90-day free “post-expo exhibition” program. This provided exhibitors with comprehensive post-event display and market promotion services, ensuring a smooth landing in Australia. Through this initiative, more than twenty exhibitors successfully continued their presence in Australia via the Trade Center, leaving participants reassured and satisfied.
In this early spring August, the banks of the Yarra River witnessed a new chapter of Australia–China cooperation. As the Expo concluded, we could clearly hear the echoes of the future—crossing oceans to connect, focusing on the present to shape a shared vision.
