The 2018 Guizhou Service Trade Innovation Development Forum will be held in Guiyang, capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province on Sept 8.

Taking the theme of "service trade injects new energy into Guizhou economy", the event was hosted by the Guizhou commerce department and investment promotion department, as well as Guian new area management council.

A large number of domestic experts and industrial bellwethers are expected to attend the forum, sharing ideas on Guizhou's service trade development and exploring more ways to help Guizhou develop local brands.

They will also have discussions on the Guian proposed "big data + service trade" development model and exchange experience with local industry representatives.

Located along the Yangtze River Economic Belt, Guizhou is a national big data comprehensive pilot area and an inland opening-up economic pilot area. Guian New Area was listed into one of the national service trade innovation development zones.

In an effort to promote the development of Guizhou's service trade industry, the forum is expected to explore better ways to integrate various resources to accelerate business development and encourage new trade formats.
