China, a nation with a 5,000-year history and a profound traditional culture and abundant ethnical culture, represents the oriental culture that is unlike any other in the world.
Culture’s integration with the economy is becoming more and more obvious nowadays. The cultural industries, as the fastest developing industry in the world, have become an important force in raising the competitiveness of a country or region.
In 2006, China’s cultural industries makes great progress. Cultural enterprises have put forward strategies to promote culture to boost the development of the provinces, cities and enterprises. They are using their advantages in cultural resources fully to deal with the grand open cultural market in the background of economic globalization. From “Processed in China” to “Made in China” and from “Designed in China” to “Created in China,” the concept of cultural industries has been deeply rooted among the Chinese people, and the industries is increasingly being integrated into the market economy.

With “exhibition and exchange” as its cores, ICIF will make effort to establish an exchange platform for Chinese cultural products and projects, promote the development of China cultural industries, and spread Chinese cultural products to the world.
The first ICIF laid the foundation of China’s sole national-level international comprehensive cultural fair, where an integrated platform was built in culture, radio, film, TV, press and publishing for exhibiting cultural products, trading cultural industries factors and exchanging information in cultural industries.
Based on this, the second ICIF had seen a further increased level in internationalization, market orientation and specialization and, especially, in facilitating trade, so that the fair can become the largest export platform for China’s cultural products with the richest resources and the most complete varieties.
