On the platform, enterprises and individuals are encouraged to participate in the preparation of the horticultural exposition, as long as their products, services, and ideas accord with the concepts of Beijing Expo 2019. They may recommend their ideas to the platform, and Expo Coordination Bureau will study all of them one by one, and then make prudent comments.
