Zhuji Datang International Hosiery Exhibition - Datang Socks ExpoCIHIE

The Zhuji Datang International Hosiery Exhibition (CIHIE, abbreviated as Datang Socks Expo) will be themed "Embracing the Digital Economy, Revitalizing Hosiery Innovation". Founded by the Zhuji Municipal People's Government in 1999, the Datang Socks Expo is one of the longest-running hosiery trade platforms in China. This edition will continue to leverage the industrial, ecological, and resource advantages of being backed by the world's largest hosiery industry cluster. Taking digital technology as a new development opportunity, it aims to explore and enhance enterprises' new quality productive forces, helping hosiery manufacturers reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Standing at a new starting point where digital technology empowers various industries, the hosiery sector has keenly identified new trends and drivers for development. At the Zhuji Datang International Hosiery Exhibition (CIHIE), hosiery enterprises empowered by digital technology will showcase a full range of hosiery-related products and technologies across the entire industry chain. This includes new products, designs, technologies, and materials such as cotton socks, pantyhose, leggings, as well as raw/auxiliary materials, intelligent equipment, and e-commerce platforms. Leveraging the "Front Exhibition, Back Factory" model, the event will present an industry gala integrating trade cooperation, brand promotion, exhibition & exchange, high-end forums, and trend releases.

"This Socks Expo aims to step into a new era of high-quality development, comprehensively showcasing Zhuji's all-around digital solutions for the hosiery industry, from digital design and production to digital marketing," said Lou Zhengsan, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Datang Subdistrict, Zhuji City. The supporting activities of the expo will promote the deep integration of the digital economy and the hosiery industry, advance enterprises' digital upgrading and efficiency gains, foster industrial economic development, and enhance the innovation chain, reshape the value chain, boost corporate confidence, and facilitate trade cooperation from the source.

Today, a continuous stream of innovative enterprises is emerging in Zhuji. As a grand stage, the Socks Expo keeps pace with the times, becoming a "new platform" for enterprises to connect domestic and international markets. For instance, the Cross-border E-commerce Supply Matchmaking Conference, a highlight of the event, invited over 10 cross-border e-commerce platforms and more than 20 live streamers and invited guests for on-site matchmaking.

It is reported that in recent years, riding the tailwinds of the digital economy, Zhuji's hosiery industry has accelerated its transition onto a new track featuring digitalized production, fashionable products, and networked markets. By establishing a digital architecture across the entire industry chain, it is striving to forge a new development path of "digital-era synergy".
