Located in the center of “Northeast Asia Mining Circle” and “Bohai Economic Circle”, Northeast China is an important gateway for China's opening up to the north with rich energy and mining resources, superior location conditions, deep industrial heritage and broad market space. In recent years, through technological innovation and industrial upgrading, advanced manufacturing, engineering machinery, information technology and other industrial clusters in the Northeast region to accelerate towards the high-end, effectively promoting the extension and expansion of the coal and mining industry chain, in the optimization of the industrial ecology, to help build a more dynamic, more open economic system of the coal and mining industry has a unique function and advantage.

Using the city as a medium, linking the world. Shenyang, as the economic, cultural, transportation and commercial center of Northeast China, is the only approved national metropolitan area in Northeast China. Relying on the good local resource advantages, industrial foundation, innovation ecology and market demand, Shenyang plays an irreplaceable and important role in promoting the research and development and application promotion of cutting-edge technologies, promoting the exploration, development and utilization of coal and mineral resources, and accelerating the process of Northeast Asia's regional economic integration, which has effectively promoted the CICE as a professional event and continuously amplified the CICE's functions and advantages as a professional event. CICE has effectively enhanced and continuously enlarged the gathering and overflow driving effect of CICE as a professional exhibition, which is of positive significance for building a higher level international economic and trade cooperation and exchange platform, opening up the supply and demand docking breakpoints and blockage points of the whole industrial chain of coal and mines, and promoting the integration of the industrial chain, innovation chain, value chain, and ecological chain, as well as the high-quality development.

In order to help enterprises at home and abroad to better open up the market and cultivate new growth points, CICE actively seeks international cooperation, and has established close cooperation with government departments and associations of many countries, such as Australia, Brazil, Russia, Chile, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, etc. Through the official network platform, CICE improves the frequency of exhibition information pushing and attracts more foreign professional visitors and CICE has established cooperation with government departments and associations in many countries, including Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Iran and UAE.
