        投洽会主要内容包括：投资和贸易展览、国际投资论坛及系列投资热点问题研讨会和以项目对接会为载体的投资洽谈。投洽会不仅全面展示和介绍中国及中国大陆各省、自治区、直辖市和香港特别行政区、澳门特别行政区的投资环境、投资政策、招商项目和企业产品，同时也吸引了数十个国家和地区的投资促进机构纷纷前来参展并举办投资说明会、推介会。参加投洽会的境内外客商可以花最少的时间和精力全面考察中国各地和其他国家和地区的投资环境，从最直接的渠道获取最新的投资政策和投资资讯，在最广泛的范围内选择最合适的投资项目和投资合作伙伴。

About CIFIT

The China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT), approved by the State Council of the People's Republic of China, takes place on September 8-11 every year in Xiamen, China.
Themed on "Introducing FDI" and "Going Global", CIFIT features a focus upon nationality and internationality, upon investment negotiation and investment policy promotion, upon coordinated development of national and regional economy, and upon economic and trade exchanges across the Taiwan Strait. CIFIT is currently China's only international investment promotion event aimed at facilitating bilateral investment. It's also the only and largest global investment event approved by UFI.
CIFIT has the following major contents: investment and trade exhibition, the International Investment Forum and serial seminars on hot investment issues, and investment project matchmaking symposia. CIFIT not only comprehensively showcases the investment environments, investment policies, investment projects and corporate products in all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government in mainland China, but also attracts investment promotion agencies from dozens of countries and regions to conduct investment briefings. CIFIT offers optimum opportunity for business people at home and abroad to get a bird's-eye-view on the investment climates in China and other countries, and ensures them one-stop shopping service for multilateral investment cooperation, thereby helping them select from the widest range of investment projects and business partners.
