In this talk, the relationship between integrable systems and invariant curve flows is studied. It is shown that many integrable systems including the well-known integrable equations and Camassa-Holm type equations arise from the non-stretching invariant curve flows in Klein geometries. The geometrical formulations to some properties of integrable systems are also given.
