25,500 exhibitors took the "Cloud Express" to display enterprises, products and brands in a multi-dimensional and three-dimensional manner through graphics, video, 3D, VR (virtual reality) and other forms.
The cumulative number of visits to the cloud exhibition hall of exhibitors was 6.2231 million times.

"Under the traditional exhibition mode held offline, limited by the area of the exhibition hall and other conditions, booths are a scarce resource, and it is relatively difficult for small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises to obtain booths. However, through 'Cloud Canton Exchange', many small and medium-sized enterprises have more opportunities to appear on the stage. It also makes the allocation of exhibition resources more optimized, so that the Canton Fair can better serve the overall situation of foreign trade by stabilizing market players."
Relevant policies have also been introduced in many places to encourage enterprises to help enterprises through "cloud exhibitions" and "cloud docking".

The "Several Opinions on Further Reducing Burdens and Relieving and Helping the Development of Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises" issued by the General Office of the Zhejiang Provincial Government mentioned that a new batch of key exhibition catalogues should be studied and formulated in accordance with the principle of making the best possible exhibitions and promoting exhibitions with all their strength.
