The 25th China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT) will be held in Xiamen from Sept 8 to 11.
This year's event will feature the United Kingdom as the guest country of honor and Jiangsu province as the guest province of honor.
During the event, Jiangsu will host a special dialogue session between the guest province of honor and the guest country of honor, focusing on deepening cooperation in advanced manufacturing, digital economy, green energy, and life sciences.
The fair will feature dedicated zones such as "Invest in China", "Chinese Investment", and "International Investment", designed with innovative concepts and presentation formats to highlight CIFIT's distinctive identity as a major investment-focused exhibition.
Aligned with capital-driven, industry-oriented, and platform-based investment promotion strategies, the fair will establish a "financial capital + industrial collaboration" linkage mechanism. This will be complemented by roadshows, matchmaking sessions, and other targeted activities, providing practical scenarios to deepen engagement and facilitate business negotiations.
CIFIT will convene leading global institutional investors, major domestic stock exchanges, financial industry associations, fund managers, securities firms, investment banks, commercial banks, insurance institutions, and high-quality listed companies for a series of activities.
The Organizing Committee will anchor its programming around "two-way investment promotion". With a focus on global investment trends and emerging industry developments, the fair will host a series of investment facilitation activities featuring cutting-edge discussion topics, high-value networking resources, and action-oriented content.
Moreover, this year's CIFIT will see the release of authoritative reports related to international investment, including the Chinese version of the World Investment Report 2025, providing professional public services to facilitate global investment cooperation.

Why Xiamen
-
Xiamen is one of the most economically competitive cities in China and was one of the first Special Economic Zones on the Chinese mainland. As a vice-provincial city independently listed on the State development plan, it has provincial-level authority in economic administration and local legislative power. In 2010, the Xiamen SEZ was expanded to cover the entire municipality. Today, Xiamen is a modern and international port city.
