4th CISCE Supply Chain Service Zone: Logistics, Finance and Global Connectivity Take Center Stage

PR Newswire· June 26, 2026

The Fourth China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) has launched a dedicated Supply Chain Service zone to highlight the integration of logistics, digital services, and industrial finance. This new focus area aims to address global supply chain resilience by showcasing innovations in multi-modal transport, trade credit insurance, and cross-border payment ecosystems. For the supply chain finance sector, the event underscores a shift toward knowledge-intensive services and collaborative financing models involving both policy-backed and commercial banking institutions.

The Industrial Finance section of the expo serves as a central hub for trade finance and payment innovation, featuring a collaboration between global payment giants and major banking institutions. China UnionPay, Visa, and Mastercard are presenting solutions for a global payment ecosystem, while the Export-Import Bank of China, ICBC, and Bank of Communications are demonstrating how policy-backed lending and commercial banking support international expansion. Additionally, the Singapore Business Federation is leading a delegation of major regional banks, including UOB, DBS, and OCBC, to showcase the Asia-Pacific region's expanding trade finance capabilities.

Beyond traditional banking, the expo highlights the growing importance of risk management and data-driven services in the supply chain ecosystem. PICC is presenting specialized coverage for trade credit and cross-border liabilities, providing essential security for international transactions. The Comprehensive Services section further supports the finance sector through knowledge-intensive offerings such as data analytics from Dun & Bradstreet, carbon trading via China Carbon Emission Registration and Clearing Co., Ltd., and AI-powered export tools, reflecting a move toward more sophisticated, tech-enabled supply chain management.

The financial and service innovations are underpinned by massive infrastructure and logistics networks represented in the Blue Channel and Integrated Logistics sections. Global shipping leaders like Maersk, MSC, and FedEx, alongside Chinese entities like China Merchants Group and Shandong Port Group, demonstrate the physical connectivity of port infrastructure across six continents. These exhibits, which include smart cold-chain systems and the China-Europe Railway Express, illustrate the multi-modal foundations that supply chain finance must support to ensure resilient, green, and adaptable global trade flows.
