The Chinese Government attaches great importance to the development of the cultural industry, and persists in developing cultural undertakings and the cultural industry at the same time. The development of the cultural industry needs the support from cultural technologies and capital. The ICIF aims to provide a trading platform for cultural products, technologies and capital, so as to promote the development of the cultural industry in China.

Running a successful ICIF will exert a profound influence on the development and structural adjustment of the Chinese cultural industry. The ICIF should be used to promote the development of the cultural industry not only in Shenzhen and Guangdong, but also in the whole country. The Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee will give its full support and coordination to hold the ICIF.

——Li Congjun, deputy director of the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee

One of the characteristics of the ICIF is that enterprises run the exhibition in an internationalized and market-oriented manner, with the government giving only policy support. This fully complies with the central authorities' general guideline for pushing the reform of the cultural system. As one of the hosts, the Ministry of Culture is giving and will give its full backing for Shenzhen to run a successful ICIF.
