A third promotion symposium for the 26th China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT) was held in Shanghai on May 28. Taking advantage of Shanghai's role as a global financial hub, the event focused on "empowering two-way investment with financial capital", bringing together international think tanks, financial experts, investment institutions, and corporate leaders.
The financial sector at this year's investment fair has been significantly expanded. Exhibition space for finance will grow from 10,000 to 25,000 square meters. The People's Bank of China will bring seven of its subsidiaries, while Cross-Border Interbank Payment System will join around 60 financial institutions to create a 12,000-square-meter zone and host cross-border matching events.
Major players like China Investment Corporation, CITIC Group, and the Export-Import Bank of China are also on board, creating a strong financial lineup.
This year's fair is getting a major upgrade — not just in finance, but also in two-way investment, event programming, exhibitions, and services. The "Invest in China" Pavilion will expand to nearly 20,000 sq m, bringing together top outbound companies, overseas industrial parks, and Chinese business chambers abroad. Special events will focus on BRICS countries and key investment destinations along global supply chains.
UNCTAD, WAIPA, and Chinese government agencies will host two-way investment promotion activities. The fair will also highlight strategic emerging industries such as AI, health tech, the low-altitude economy, and green energy — offering global investors targeted matchmaking and diverse opportunities for collaboration.
