Global Alliance for Trade in Services Delegation, Led by Chairman Jiang Zengwei, Visits IBI
On August 29, Jiang Zengwei, Chairman of the Global Alliance for Trade in Services (GATIS), led a delegation to visit the IBI Digital Economy Headquarters for a roundtable exchange. They were warmly received by Gao Chongyao, Deputy District Mayor of Fengtai District, and Liu Quan , Founder and Chairman of IBI. The two sides engaged in in-depth discussions on key topics such as regional digital economy collaboration and international cooperation in trade in services.
The delegation first toured IBI’s Digital Economy Exhibition Hall, gaining insights into IBI and its Duoduo platforms’ innovative practices in industrial digital economy operations and cross-border industrial belt business.
During the roundtable, Deputy District Mayor Gao highlighted Fengtai’s development strengths and digital economy layout. He emphasized that Fengtai, leveraging the combined advantages of its strategic location, industrial foundation, and policy support platforms, has gathered a cluster of core digital economy enterprises, forming a collaborative development ecosystem. Through platforms such as the “Digital Silk Road” pilot zone, Fengtai is actively integrating into global trade in services, helping enterprises expand in areas such as cross-border data flows, digital services exports, and offshore outsourcing. He noted that Fengtai is optimizing its digital economy environment through a “one industry, one specialty” strategy, and will continue to support key enterprises such as IBI in expanding into international markets and playing a greater role in the internationalization of trade in services.
Chairman Liu provided a comprehensive overview of IBI’s history, core businesses, and strategic planning. He explained that IBI is building three major growth curves centered on industrial e-commerce, industrial digitalization, and cross-border expansion of industrial belts. Since 2023, IBI has accelerated its international expansion and actively explored new models and formats of digital trade in services, offering practical pathways for global trade digitalization and cross-border industrial collaboration. He emphasized that the Global Alliance for Trade in Services plays a vital role as an international cooperation mechanism in aligning international rules and achieving mutual recognition of service standards, and that IBI looks forward to deepening cooperation with the Alliance to jointly promote the digitalization and internationalization of trade in services.
Chairman Jiang Zengwei highly commended IBI’s innovative practices in the digital economy and cross-border industrial belt development. He noted that as global trade in services undergoes significant digital transformation, IBI’s industrial internet model has strong potential to connect with international markets. Looking ahead, the Alliance and IBI can deepen cooperation in areas such as cross-border digital services and international supply chain collaboration, jointly building a new paradigm for cross-border service trade cooperation. This will enable enterprises to better connect global resources, foster deeper integration between industrial digitalization and international trade in services, and contribute to an open world economy and high-quality global trade in services development.
The meeting was also attended by Chen Ning, Deputy Secretary-General of the Global Alliance for Trade in Services; Xu Xiaohu, Vice President of the China Chamber of Commerce of Foodstuffs and Native Produce; Wang Ting , Director and Senior Vice President of IBI; Ji Jingjing, Vice President of IBI and CEO of Lydodo; and Chen Ying, Senior Advisor of Lydodo.
