Tang Liang said in his speech that in recent years, with the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry, the domestic cutting tool and equipment industry has made considerable progress and has become a hot spot for the development of the machinery manufacturing industry. The "14th Five-Year Plan" period is the first five years in which my country has taken advantage of the momentum to embark on a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and marched towards the second centenary goal. my country's cutting tools will focus on the advanced industrial foundation and the modernization of the industrial chain. We will focus on solving the problem of "big but not strong" and the problem of "neck stuck" in the industrial chain, strengthen exchanges and cooperation with the world's advanced cutting tool and equipment companies, and continue to increase scientific and technological innovation, R&D investment and talent training. Vigorously promote advanced cutting technology with CNC tools as its characteristics. It is hoped that through this Suzhou Tool Fair, advanced cutting technology will be shown to the industry, mutual understanding between industries and in-depth cooperation in the field of trade will be deepened, and China's tool technology level, product quality and production technology will be further improved, and China's cutting tool and equipment industry will be realized. While high-level technology is self-reliant and self-reliant, a new situation of high-quality development is formed.

After the opening ceremony, participating leaders and guests visited the exhibition hall together, communicated with exhibitors, and learned more about the exhibits.

With the theme of "Professional High-end Leading the Development of the Industry", the exhibition area exceeded 10,000 square meters, and the special decoration rate reached over 85 percent, attracting mainland China, Germany, Switzerland, South Korea, Japan, Austria, Hong Kong, etc. More than a hundred manufacturers from countries and regions, leading cutting technology and high-quality products in the field of cutting tools and equipment have appeared one after another. At the same time, the exhibition will host supporting activities such as the first National CNC Tool Craftsman Skills Competition, China (Suzhou) Advanced Cutting Technology Exchange Summit, and China Metal Cutting Tool Excellent Processing Case Selection Activities, and invite domestic and foreign experts and representatives to interact and discuss the development of the industry. Trends, share their experience and results.

At present, my country is in a critical period of industrial transformation and upgrading. The organizers take it as their responsibility to promote the continuous development of high-end equipment and supporting tools. Professional users and media companies have built the exhibition into an industry event featuring the entire cutting tool industry chain, the entire technology chain, and the entire organization chain. It showcases new products, new technologies, and new concepts in the cutting tool industry chain, midstream and downstream, and builds cutting tools. A platform for communication and cooperation among elites in the tool field, to promote multi-win cooperation in the cutting tool industry, and to promote the long-term development of technology, industry and market.

The exhibition is based on Suzhou, China’s top ten GDP city, and backed by the strong manufacturing base of Changshu, Kunshan, Wujiang, Taicang and Zhangjiagang, which is the top five top 100 counties (cities) in the country, and radiates Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and the entire coastal area. It is the best place to exchange cutting tool technology, expand marketing networks, establish partnerships, and expand the market. It is also the first choice for international cutting tool suppliers to get an overview of China's cutting tool market and obtain first-hand demand information.

Affected by the epidemic, all parties involved in the exhibition organizers of this exhibition strictly implemented the requirements for epidemic prevention and control in Suzhou City, and strictly adopted epidemic prevention measures such as appointment registration, peak shift visits, and health control. In the exhibition hall, there are multiple use points of epidemic prevention materials to provide visitors with disinfection supplies and disposable medical masks and other emergency epidemic prevention materials to ensure the safety and health of participants.
