The first Chongqing High-Tech Fair was jointly held by Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, China Association of Inventions and Chongqing Municipal Government in 1999. Such celebration was welcomed since it was also Marshal Nie Rongzhen's 100th birthday. The goal of the expo is to push forward the west development and promote regional economic and technological cooperation. Currently, 11 western provinces such as Guizhou, Sichuan, Gansu and Yunnan organize enterprise groups to take part in the fair every year with Beijing, Fujian, Guangdong, Zhejiang and Shandong playing an active role in the fair. The fair is an ideal platform for technology transactions. Every year, Russia, Germany, Canada and Japan send delegation to participate in it.
