Fair overview
Sourcing support targeting China's new-energy-vehicle and intelligent-connected-vehicle ecosystem at Auto China (Beijing). BALKAN CHINA wraps pre-show preparation, on-site interpretation, supplier shortlisting and post-show factory follow-up into one end-to-end China sourcing trip — a particularly good fit for first-time-in-China Balkan / European buyers planning multi-supplier comparisons in Beijing.
Why this service
Core sourcing categories covered in one trip. New-energy vehicles, intelligent connectivity, autonomous driving, traction batteries, charging infrastructure, auto parts — the main buying lanes compared side by side.
Lower the entry cost of a first China trip. Visa preparation, airport transfers, hotels, business vehicles and on-site interpretation — you don't need to assemble a China ground operation yourself.
More than just "walking the show". After the fair we cluster the suppliers you actually met, work out price ranges and a first-pass rating — so you have something usable for partnership decisions back home.
Show + factory in one motion. If a meeting at the fair turns serious, we can immediately add an on-site visit to the factory in or around Beijing.
