Stepping into Shougang Park in Beijing was like entering a time machine 🔄: an old steel plant reborn as the ultimate playground for global collaborations and big ideas.
From September 10–14, CIFTIS 2025 welcomed over 2,000 companies from nearly 70 countries under one roof. It’s officially the world’s largest showcase for trade in services, turning Shougang’s industrial echoes into a symphony of handshakes and innovation.
This year’s fair spans nine service sectors—from science & technology and digital creativity to tourism, healthcare, green finance and more. Imagine a space where AI demos sit right next to sustainable travel booths; it’s like a multi-layered playlist of the future!
But the magic isn’t just in big numbers. It’s in the sparks of new friendships 🤝, the moments when a startup founder from São Paulo finds a tech partner in Seoul, or when a green finance expert swaps notes with a healthcare innovator. Those personal exchanges show how ideas take flight.
Every corner is alive: VR experiences that teleport you across oceans, panel talks that feel like your favorite podcast, and cultural booths serving up local vibes. It’s youthful, dynamic, and 100% digital-era energy ⚡️.
At CIFTIS 2025, handshakes aren’t just greetings—they’re the first steps toward tomorrow’s horizons. Whether you’re a news junkie, a student researcher, or an aspiring entrepreneur, this fair proves that the future of services is global, connected, and made by people like you ✨.
