25th China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT)

The stage is set for the 25th edition of the China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT), the largest investment-focused exposition worldwide, scheduled for September 8-11, 2025, in Xiamen, China. This event is a pivotal platform for investment and trade, specifically focusing on mutual investments.

International Participation

On June 3, a promotional symposium took place in Guangzhou, gathering over 90 diplomats and investment promotion officials from 43 different nations and regions. Participants included representatives from various European countries, such as Hungary, Belgium, Austria, Spain, and Poland, alongside nations from Southeast Asia and beyond, demonstrating CIFIT’s expanding global outreach. Almost 100 delegates from multinational corporations (MNCs), including renowned names like Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, IBM, and Nestlé, are set to explore opportunities for international collaboration within various industries. Furthermore, the UK has been confirmed as the guest country for this year, aiming to increase engagement from European nations projected to seize investment opportunities.

Key Activities and Themes

CIFIT 2025 will feature activities organized around three core themes: 'Investing in China', 'Investing from China', and 'International Investments'. The focus will be on aligning global capital flows with China’s investment landscape. Major Chinese stock exchanges, financial institutions, and investment firms will be present at the event, facilitating the integration of financial capital with real economic needs.

Investment matchmaking zones, industrial park showcases, and sector-specific investment showcases will introduce emerging opportunities in green technologies and digital transformations. Notably, the event will also host exhibitions centered on the low-altitude economy and artificial intelligence for the first time, aiming to strengthen CIFIT’s role as a crucial platform for financial investment matchmaking and industrial collaboration.

Enhancing Collaborations

CIFIT will emphasize the productive capabilities of the next generation while fostering partnerships among SMEs (small and medium enterprises). High-profile events such as the UK Investment Forum, BRICS Digital Economy Exchange, and RCEP Cooperation Dialogue are set to take place. As a co-organizer, UNCTAD will also host the inaugural Future Investment Summit, which aims to position CIFIT as a global forum for capital investment and innovation.

In conjunction with the event, several key reports will be released, including the World Investment Report 2025 (Chinese Edition), providing valuable insights for investors worldwide.

Digital Innovations

CIFIT is also enhancing its digital platform to offer year-round project matchmaking services, catering to the growing demand for business collaborations and investments. As the countdown to CIFIT 2025 begins, the promise of fruitful discussions and significant partnerships appears brighter than ever.
