01 / Signal
The 26th CIFIT is scheduled for 8 to 11 September 2026 in Xiamen. The Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce’s official China mission runs 19 to 25 September, with Hangzhou and Shanghai and a sector focus including robotics, automotive, clean technology, logistics and e-commerce.
02 / Why it matters
Treating the events as separate trips duplicates preparation and loses learning. Treating them as one corridor allows the first window to test positioning and counterparty fit, the bridge period to update evidence, and the second window to pursue a narrower decision agenda.
03 / Decision questions
- 01Before Xiamen: define target profiles, claims, evidence and disqualifiers.
- 02During CIFIT: capture structured counterparty notes with decision relevance.
- 03Bridge period: verify claims, update the decision brief and close evidence gaps.
- 04Hangzhou / Shanghai: pursue a shorter agenda tied to explicit next decisions.
04 / Controlled next step
Design one corridor sequence with explicit decision gates.
