Beijing is set to host the China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) 2025 from September 10-14, welcoming delegates from over 70 countries and regions and 2,000 companies. As one of the world’s largest platforms for service trade collaboration, this year’s event will highlight transformative innovations in artificial intelligence, biomedicine, and digital services.
What’s New in 2025?
Organizers have expanded the fair’s focus to include dedicated pavilions for AI-driven healthcare solutions and cross-border digital trade platforms. A first-of-its-kind ‘Green Services Zone’ will showcase sustainable logistics and carbon-neutral technologies, aligning with global climate goals.
Global Participation
Representatives from ASEAN nations, the European Union, and the Middle East will join businesses and policymakers to negotiate partnerships. Over 30% of participating companies specialize in fintech and smart city solutions, reflecting growing demand for digital infrastructure across Asia.
Why It Matters
CIFTIS 2025 comes as global service trade volumes are projected to grow by 7.8% annually through 2026. The fair’s emphasis on regulatory harmonization and intellectual property protection aims to bridge gaps between Asian markets and international standards, offering new pathways for investors and entrepreneurs.
