The vitality and efficiency of the financial sector have a direct impact on the quality and scale of cross-border investments. In light of this, the 25th China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT) has significantly increased the engagement of both domestic and international financial institutions. The organizing committee recently announced that a prominent focus on "financial investment" will be a major highlight of this year's event. International financial giants, major domestic stock exchanges, various financial institutions, and top listed companies will convene at CIFIT on September 8. Through a series of activities, they aim to promote the deep integration of financial capital with industrial and supply chains, as well as foster connections with innovation-driven enterprises.

Last year, the 24th CIFIT introduced a dedicated financial capital matchmaking zone for the first time, creating a professional platform to facilitate the deep integration of financial capital and industry. This approach generated greater synergy to support the high-quality development of cross-border investment and trade. Building on this foundation, this year's CIFIT will closely follow new trends in international investment, place greater emphasis on the integrated development of "capital + industry", focus on establishing pragmatic and efficient financial service platforms, and promote effective alignment between financial capital and the real economy.

The Ministry of Commerce, in collaboration with the People's Bank of China, the National Financial Regulatory Administration, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and other financial authorities, alongside policy-based financial institutions like China Investment Corporation, China Development Bank, Export-Import Bank of China, and China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation, as well as international investment banks, asset management companies, sovereign wealth funds, and industrial funds, has organized a series of special events for this year's CIFIT, aiming to foster closer cooperation between banks and enterprises and to introduce more high-quality financial service products.

For the exhibition, this year's CIFIT showcases a financial-themed exhibition area spanning over 10,000 square meters, establishing a premium platform for the integration of "capital + industry". More than 70 leading international capital firms, major domestic stock exchanges, financial industry associations, funds, securities firms, investment banks, banks, insurance companies, and top listed companies have been invited to participate and set up booths. Additionally, a dedicated roadshow area has been established within the exhibition area to host a variety of financial roadshow events, enhancing financial service functions and facilitating efficient connections between domestic and international capital.

Visitors entering Hall B1 of this year's CIFIT will experience a meticulously choreographed "ballet" of capital. The exhibition area is strategically divided into five key functional zones, including a TED talk zone and private negotiation rooms, creating an immersive innovation and investment ecosystem. More than 200 leading investment institutions, over 6,000 domestic and international projects, and representatives from 12 major industry sectors have gathered, joined by UN agencies and companies such as Tesla, Huawei, and China Resources, creating a powerful magnet for capital.

According to the organizing committee, the level and scale of this year's financial activities will significantly surpass those of the previous edition, with both the exhibition area and the number of matchmaking events doubling. This expansion aims to strengthen the financial capital sector and open up new opportunities for two-way investment.
