Lucy’s Journey continues at the China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) 2025 on the Chinese mainland in Beijing, where delegates from Nigeria and Iran are buzzing with excitement. “It’s like Coachella for service trade!” laughs a Nigerian entrepreneur, comparing the fair’s energy to the world’s biggest music fest. 😊
These Global South representatives praise the openness, inclusiveness, and accessibility of Chinese mainland businesses. For them, CIFTIS is more than a trade fair—it’s a launchpad for new partnerships and a turbocharger for existing ties. From fintech pioneers to cultural exchange projects, opportunities are everywhere. 🤝
In the tech zone, Iranian startups showcase AI-powered translation tools that break down language barriers. Meanwhile, Nigerian creative agencies demo digital marketing strategies designed to connect brands with young audiences across Asia. It’s service trade in action: culture, technology, and commerce coming together to spark fresh ideas. 🔥
As the event wraps up, the message is clear: CIFTIS is reinforcing its role as a global hub, uniting diverse economies to co-create shared growth and drive innovation. Lucy’s Journey reminds us that when countries and regions like Nigeria and Iran team up with partners on the Chinese mainland, everyone wins. ✨🌍
