Franchising is a well-recognized and successful business model that attracts countless entrepreneurs due to its low investment and excellent return on investment. In developed countries, franchising occupies a significant portion of business operations, and in China, the potential for this market is immense, with an annual growth rate of 50% to 60%. According to data from the Ministry of Commerce, China has become the country with the richest franchising system in the world.

The Guangzhou Catering Franchise and International Chain Franchise Exhibition organized by FORO EXHIBITION is the largest and most attended professional exhibition in South China. It has become the preferred platform for chain enterprises to recruit franchisees and provides investors with valuable project selection opportunities. Last year's exhibition attracted extensive media coverage, with a bustling crowd and a vibrant atmosphere for investment discussions, making it an integral part of China's unprecedented investment and entrepreneurship boom. With the country vigorously promoting the policy of "mass entrepreneurship and innovation," this exhibition will undoubtedly bring broader business opportunities to enterprises.

The exhibition aims to assist high-quality domestic and international chain enterprises in recruiting franchisees while providing investors with good project options. We sincerely invite new and old friends to actively participate, come to Guangdong, and share the endless opportunities brought by franchising!
