The China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) stands as a beacon of global economic collaboration, and the upcoming 2024 edition is set to further solidify its role as a pivotal platform for open cooperation and innovation. Held under the theme “Global Services, Shared Prosperity,” CIFTIS 2024 is poised to inject fresh momentum into the worldwide trade in services, showcasing China's unwavering commitment to high-level opening-up and fostering shared development.

As the world navigates complex economic landscapes, CIFTIS emerges as an essential arena for dialogue, partnership, and the exploration of new frontiers in service trade.

It's more than just an exhibition; it's a dynamic ecosystem designed to connect global businesses, foster technological advancements, and facilitate policy discussions that shape the future of service economies.

This year, the fair will once again feature a comprehensive array of thematic exhibitions and forums.

Attendees can anticipate deep dives into critical sectors such as telecommunications, finance, culture, health, and supply chain management. The emphasis will be squarely on cutting-edge innovations, with a significant focus on digital trade, green development, and the integration of advanced technologies like AI and big data into service industries.

These discussions and showcases are crucial for driving sustainable growth and enhancing efficiency across diverse service domains.

A cornerstone of CIFTIS's mission is to amplify the impact of global initiatives, particularly the Belt and Road Initiative, by leveraging service trade to foster connectivity and shared prosperity among participating nations.

The fair actively promotes cross-border partnerships, creating tangible opportunities for businesses to expand their reach and for countries to strengthen economic ties through the exchange of services.

Since its inception, CIFTIS has consistently evolved, growing in scale and influence to become one of the world's largest and most comprehensive fairs dedicated to service trade.

Its enduring success underscores China's proactive role in global economic governance and its dedication to building an open world economy. Each edition serves as a testament to the power of international cooperation in driving global economic recovery and achieving sustainable development goals.
