CIFTIS – China International Fair for Trade in Services

The China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) was approved in 2012 by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council to enhance China’s international competitiveness in the services sector and to fully leverage the role of services and service trade in accelerating the transformation of the economic development model. In 2019, it was renamed the China International Fair for Trade in Services. As China’s economy has entered a new era, the Beijing Fair for Trade in Services has also embarked on a new phase of quality improvement and upgrading. In 2020, the fair’s abbreviated name was changed from “Beijing Fair” to “CIFTIS.”

It has become an important platform for disseminating ideas, connecting supply and demand, sharing business opportunities, and promoting development in the global services trade sector. It is the largest comprehensive exhibition in the field of global services trade and the leading exhibition in China’s services trade industry, alongside the China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) and the China International Import Expo (CIIE), forming China’s three major exhibition platforms for opening up to the world.

The China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS)is a national-level, international, and comprehensive exhibition co-hosted by the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China and the People’s Government of Beijing Municipality. In line with the rapid growth trend of global services trade, it has emerged as a key event for sharing ideas, bridging supply and demand, fostering business collaboration, and advancing development in the international services trade arena.

The China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS)leads the way in open innovation and promotes mutual benefit and shared prosperity. Aiming to become “the world’s most influential first-class international exhibition for services trade,” CIFTIS provides a new platform for governments, international organizations, and global services‑trade enterprises and institutions to showcase, exchange, negotiate, and collaborate; builds new bridges for exhibitors and buyers worldwide to share opportunities and drive development; and creates fresh channels for prominent figures from government, business, academia, and research to discuss pressing issues in services trade, explore sustainable development, and pursue win-win cooperation.

The Chinese government, together with countries, international organizations, and institutions around the world, is committed to making CIFTIS a barometer and vane for the development of global services trade, a new vehicle for boosting international trade and world economic growth, and a positive force for fostering the prosperity and advancement of global services trade.
