In 2012, China International Software and Information Service Fair (CISIS), the only state-level software fair approved by the State Council of the People's Republic of China, hails its "golden tenth year". As the premier exhibition in the domestic software industry, CISIS has been improving constantly in exhibition scale, quality and specification of distinguished guests, the number of participating countries and regions, the number of exhibitors, specialization, efficiency and international influence.

Keeps a track record on software industrial development

CISIS has been successfully held for nine consecutive years and keeps a track record on the development of the global software business.

In 2011, the total revenue for China's software industry exceeded 1.84 trillion yuan ($290.7 billion) with a year-on-year increase of 32.4 percent. It is predicted that revenue for the domestic software industry is expected to top two trillion yuan in 2012.

In the past decade, each CISIS has been closely linked to the pulse of industry development. In 2012, CISIS will keep its eye on burgeoning industries such as cloud computing, Internet of Things and mobile Internet. It will showcase the cutting edge technology of these fields as well as that of information communications.

Golden ten years for China's software industry

The year of 2012 is the tenth anniversary of CISIS. CISIS witnessed the golden development of software in China over the past ten years. A series of themed activities will be carefully designed, including a professional photography competition, a tour of Dalian's software businesses, the CISIS books review, and special performances. During these activities, audience, various media and industry professionals will be able to see the achievements made by China’s software industry over the past decade.

Highlights of the CISIS 2012

Themed "Innovation drives growth, integration deepens application", the fair will showcase the in-depth integration of industrial application under the background of new technology, and set up a trade platform for industrial development under the new policies.

In addition, CISIS will make new breakthroughs in terms of transaction and efficiency. The number of signed agreements and reached cooperation project intents amounted to over 960, with a total value of about 30 billion yuan. More investment and trade volume were stimulated, and the fair has played a remarkable role in boosting industrial development and the regional economy.

At this year's CISIS, the Information Demand Releasing Conference and Project Matchmaking Symposium will offer opportunities for manufacturers and users to mutually communicate and cooperate in business. The Sino-foreign Enterprise Cooperation Meeting and the Industrial Application Matchmaking Symposium will provide more opportunities for enterprises from home and abroad as well as classified industries to cooperate with each other.

The various product (service) release activities, product preview, technology exchange meetings and client meetings will enable all parties to carry out full exchange and interaction. The collective or field-specific signing ceremonies, online business platforms featuring online reservation and offline transaction, and media reports will boost the efficiency of the exhibition.
