China Innovation and Investment Conference

Since its founding by a university-wide student group at Harvard University in 2021, the China Innovation and Investment Conference (CIIC) has been dedicated to bringing together the world’s leading innovation and investment leaders to explore the endless possibilities at the forefront of technology and business, fostering cross-border collaboration and sustainable development. Each year, the conference focuses on innovation and entrepreneurship in trending fields such as biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and climate solutions, striving to promote global cooperation and sustainable innovation. Over the years, CIIC has rapidly grown, with its annual summits, competitions, and related events hosting more than 150 high-profile speakers and attracting over 2,000 participants. In 2024, CIIC adopted the theme "Driving Global Innovation and Collaboration for the Future", delving into the challenges faced by the global high-tech industry and capital markets while exploring new opportunities. The 2024 chapters, held in Shanghai and at Harvard University in July and September respectively, received widespread attention and acclaim from the global innovation and investment community. In 2025, CIIC will feature four chapters: Europe, the Middle East, China, and North America. The first chapter will kick off on March 8, 2025, in London, focusing on cutting-edge topics such as artificial intelligence (AI), new quality productivity, biotechnology, new media, youth influence, and global innovation. These fields not only represent the frontier of technological development but also serve as key drivers of global economic and social progress. Through captivating keynote speeches, in-depth panel discussions, and interactive workshops, attendees will have the opportunity to engage with pioneering thought leaders and industry practitioners, gain forward-looking insights, and explore possibilities for collaboration.
