The "China International Financial Expo", approved by the Ministry of Commerce of China and hosted by the China Financial Computerization Corporation, with the cooperation of major domestic financial institutions, is a well-known and influential international financial exhibition platform in China and the Asia-Pacific region. Since its inception in 1993, the exhibition has, over 30 years of development, evolved from an electronic equipment selection event into an annual financial gala for showcasing technological advancements and product innovations in the financial industry and related sectors, as well as for the public to understand financial services and wealth management knowledge. It has played a significant role in demonstrating China's financial development achievements, promoting financial reform results, and advancing financial informatization.

During the pilot phase of the e-CNY, the business insisted on a market-oriented development direction, encouraging various institutions to deepen cooperation for mutual benefit. In the field of e-CNY, iSoftStone, with its keen market insight and strong technical support, has meticulously developed the "e-CNY Smart Contract Application Service Platform", establishing an efficient collaborative bridge for traditional commercial enterprises and financial institutions.
