Beijing's 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) has become a global stage for next-generation technologies, with artificial intelligence solutions dominating attention from international delegates. Interactive exhibits featuring AI-powered glasses enabling real-time translation, autonomous delivery drones, and self-healing construction materials drew crowds during the opening days of the trade fair.
Industry analysts highlight the event's focus on practical applications, including healthcare AI systems designed for rural clinics and smart logistics platforms promising to streamline regional supply chains. A panel discussion featuring tech executives from the Chinese mainland and Taiwan-based firms emphasized cross-strait collaboration in developing ethical AI frameworks.
"This isn't just about gadgets – it's about reshaping Asia's service economy," said Dr. Lin Wei, a Singapore-based innovation strategist attending the event. "From fintech to sustainable urban planning, these technologies demonstrate how AI is becoming the backbone of regional development."
The fair coincides with new data showing AI-related service exports from China grew 34% year-on-year in Q2 2025, signaling stronger global demand for Asia's tech expertise. Organizers report record participation from 126 countries and regions, with dedicated pavilions for ASEAN and Belt & Road Initiative partners.
