Beijing's Promise to Share Opportunities
In this world-renowned millennium city of Beijing, the Fair for Trade in Services has quietly entered its 11th year. After years of cultivation and development, the China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), which focuses on global economic recovery and growth, has empowered the "Beijing Accord" and grown into the largest comprehensive exhibition in global service trade. It not only opens a "window" and builds a "bridge" for global cooperation and innovation, but also makes the world feel the sincerity and responsibility of China to share the development opportunities of service trade and jointly promote economic recovery and development.
From 2012 to 2023, from the "Beijing Fair" to the "Service Trade Fair", from the initial theme of "new perspectives, new opportunities, and new development" to the current theme of "openness leads development, cooperation and win-win future"... The times have changed, the name has changed, and the theme has changed. However, the beautiful vision advocated by the permanent slogan of the Service Trade Fair - "Global Service Mutual Benefit and Sharing" has not changed, and China's firm belief in high-level opening up to the outside world has not changed.
Keep up with the times and keep up with the times. An intuitive feeling is that every year, new elements emerge in exhibitors, exhibition areas, event displays, forums, and more. Before and after the exhibition, those beautiful and fun scenes, as well as thought-provoking hot topics on social media, are unforgettable. Both inside and outside the venue, guests were fully seated and there were no empty seats. Interactive scenes representing new technologies, new formats, and new models were refreshing. During this year's Fair for Trade in Services, a blast furnace metaverse park with a building area of approximately 20000 square meters will be innovatively presented, creating a fully immersive space exploration themed science fiction complex that integrates culture, technology, entertainment, and consumption. Various new scenes and applications will also be fully showcased. The Service Trade Fair, which aims to promote the development of service trade, is like a mirror reflecting the cutting-edge development trends in today's society, economy, culture, and other aspects.
Behind the flourishing development of service trade, the role of technology support is more evident. New technologies represented by digital technology, which used to be just icing on the cake in economic and trade activities, have now integrated into various aspects such as exhibitions, exhibitions, negotiations, and signing contracts, becoming an essential part. This year's Fair for Trade in Services will further highlight the leading role of technological innovation, model innovation, and business format innovation. The comprehensive exhibition and 9 special exhibitions will focus on showcasing specialized and innovative achievements in chip technology, quantum measurement and control, satellite remote sensing, artificial intelligence, digital healthcare, and more. More than 60 enterprises and institutions will launch a batch of new products and technologies in the fields of artificial intelligence, financial technology, medical health, cultural creativity, and more. Even more rare is that emerging technologies and services have not only changed the way and pattern of service trade, but also changed people's lifestyles and consumption concepts. The beautiful life experience released by the exhibition has transformed ordinary people who participate from "spectators" to "protagonists".
The successful hosting of the Service Trade Fair has also brought great benefits to the host city. One of the venues for the special exhibition, Shijingshan District, has achieved accelerated development and upgrading through open development. This former industrial rust belt has transformed into a vibrant urban runway, accelerating the construction of a high-precision and modern industrial system. In the past three years, the average growth rate of Shijingshan District's high-end industry income has reached 15%, and it has been actively deployed in industrial Internet, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, Internet 3.0 and other cutting-edge tracks. As a symbol of the deep transformation of Beijing, Shougang Park is becoming a highland for international scientific and technological innovation and a fulcrum for an international consumer center city. This is also thanks to the support of the external forces of the Fair for Trade in Services.
Embracing change, sharing opportunities, and promoting development together... The current Service Trade Fair has exceeded the imagination of 11 years ago. The future Service Trade Fair is even more worth looking forward to.
