China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) is an annual, Beijing-based national-level services trade fair co-hosted by China’s Ministry of Commerce (中华人民共和国商务部) and the Beijing Municipal Government, launched in 2012 and held across major venues such as the China National Convention Center and Shougang Park (with Beijing indicating Shougang Park as a permanent venue and a fixed annual September schedule from 2025 onward). In the context of digital humans, CIFTIS functions as a high-visibility commercialization and procurement showcase for “AI-powered digital humans” as service-delivery interfaces across sectors that depend on scalable, multilingual, and interactive front-end labor, with recent editions publicly highlighting digital-human guides/commentators and other scenario-based demonstrations of digital trade capabilities. Typical exhibition framing positions digital humans less as entertainment characters and more as deployable service endpoints for customer engagement, explanation, and transaction assistance (for example, corporate exhibitors have used the fair to demonstrate digital-human applications in areas like retail operations and related service workflows).
