Beijing just rolled out the red carpet for the 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), and it’s already shaping up to be a global tech-powered blockbuster. Held for the first time entirely at Shougang Park—a sprawling industrial-turned-Olympic venue—the event’s theme, ‘Embrace Intelligent Technologies, Empower Trade in Services,’ is drawing eyes from every corner of the planet. 🌐✨
A Venue Steeped in History & Innovation
Think industrial chic meets Winter Olympics legacy! The 3-square-kilometer Shougang Park, home to Beijing’s 2022 snowboarding events, now hosts over 2,000 exhibitors, including nearly 500 Fortune Global 500 giants like Walmart and AstraZeneca. Talk about a glow-up! 🏗️❄️
Global Participation Highlights
With 85 countries and international orgs on board—from Germany to the World Intellectual Property Organization—this year’s CIFTIS is basically the Netflix of global trade. Over 26 of the world’s top 30 services trade hubs are repping here, proving that when China says ‘open for business,’ the world RSVPs. 📈🤝
Tech takes center stage, with AI, fintech, and green solutions driving conversations. For young entrepreneurs and digital nomads, this is the ultimate sneak peek into the future of trade. 💡💻
