Connecting international buyers to China’s trade show ecosystem
ChinaExpoHub is an English-language platform built for international buyers who source from China. We help you find the right trade shows, connect directly with organizers and exhibitors, and navigate the wider exhibition ecosystem — without relying on outdated directories or unreliable middlemen.
Why we exist
China runs more trade shows than any other country, covering nearly every industry imaginable. But for buyers outside China, that scale is also the problem: show information is scattered, often only in Chinese, and hard to verify. Exhibitors and service providers face the same gap from the other side — real capability that never reaches the buyers who need it.
ChinaExpoHub exists to close that gap. We bring show listings, exhibitor profiles, and trusted service providers into one place, in English, built specifically for how international buyers actually search and decide.
Who’s behind it
ChinaExpoHub is built by Jari-Pekka Raitamaa, a Finland-based entrepreneur with over 20 years in digital business and 15+ years working in China trade. He lived in Guangzhou for two years, has attended Canton Fair, and has spent well over a decade building relationships across China’s exhibition industry.
Before ChinaExpoHub, he founded China Business Forum, which generated over 1,000 trade show registrations from buyers in more than 90 countries — entirely through organic reach, with no paid acquisition. ChinaExpoHub builds on that foundation with a sharper focus: a dedicated home for trade show discovery and connections.
A community, not just a platform
ChinaExpoHub is backed by an active, growing community across the channels international buyers already use — including a following of over 200,000 on X, a Facebook group of 58,000+, 20,000+ followers on LinkedIn, and dedicated spaces on Reddit (r/ChinaTradeShows), Telegram, WhatsApp, and Mastodon. It’s a place to ask questions, compare notes with other buyers, and get real answers — not just browse listings.
