Phoenix New Media will leverage its global omni-media network and internet technologies to position CIFIT as a leader in global investment, contributing to an open world economy.”

The strategic agreement sets the stage for pioneering a “media + investment services” integration model, positioning CIFIT as a global hub for capital, technology, and talent. The plan includes launching a “Global Investment Innovation Alliance” to unite international institutions and businesses in breaking down investment barriers and advancing sustainable development.
