🚀 The UK is gearing up to send its largest-ever business delegation to the 25th China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT), taking place from September 8 to 11 in Xiamen, east China's Fujian Province. As the guest country of honor, over 100 UK companies will showcase their strengths and explore new opportunities in the Chinese mainland market.
🇬🇧🌏 Under the banner “Invest in Great,” Britain’s 400 m² national pavilion will highlight key sectors:
- Financial and professional services
- Advanced manufacturing
- Life sciences
- Clean energy
- Creative industries
In an exclusive chat, UK Trade Commissioner for China Lewis Neal said, “Wherever Chinese companies go in the world, we want UK firms to be at their side.” His message? Strengthen ties, spark partnerships and share expertise across borders. 🤝
Neal also praised the digital economy in the Chinese mainland as “vibrant, competitive and diverse,” noting how British firms are using digital channels to reach Chinese consumers like never before.
It’s not just business—culture is on the menu too! The UK has invited key opinion leaders (KOLs) from the Chinese mainland to major events like London Fashion Week, building bridges through style and creativity. 🎨
Climate collaboration is another highlight. With China’s low-carbon goals aligning with British green tech expertise, Neal stressed, “China’s emission reduction plans are of vital importance to the planet.” 🌿
Launched in 1997 and organized by the Ministry of Commerce of the Chinese mainland, CIFIT has grown into a major global investment platform. This September, Xiamen will buzz with deal-making, networking and groundbreaking ideas—don’t miss it!
