While flashy product launches grab headlines, the 6th China International Import Expo (CIIE) is spotlighting the unsung heroes of global commerce: the ‘invisible’ service trades that keep goods flowing worldwide. 💡 From smart logistics to digital finance, these behind-the-scenes innovations are reshaping how we connect economies—and they’re stealing the spotlight in Shanghai!
Why Service Trade Matters 🧩
The expo’s service trade zone covers five key areas: commercial logistics (think shipping ninjas 🚢), consulting services (the brainiacs of business 💼), financial tech (money meets AI 🤖), cultural tourism (wanderlust meets economics ✈️), and comprehensive services. Together, they form the nervous system of global trade.

More Than Just Handshakes 🤝
This year’s expo highlights 400+ service trade exhibitors proving that innovation isn’t just about products—it’s about creating systems that keep the world’s economic heartbeat steady. 🫀 Whether it’s blockchain-powered contracts or carbon-neutral shipping routes, the future of trade is here—and it’s invisible. 👀
