Shenzhen World Rail Transit ExhibitioniMetro

The Shenzhen World Rail Transit Exhibition (iMetro)takes “AI Empowerment, Green and Intelligent Innovation—Building a Sustainable Global Rail Ecosystem” as its theme. It will bring together national ministries and commissions, provincial and municipal governments, central state‑owned enterprises involved in rail‑transit equipment, investment, construction, and operation, as well as research institutions, think tanks, leading enterprises, and provincial and municipal rail‑transit investment, construction, and operation entities to drive the high‑quality development of the rail‑transit industry by fostering collaboration across government, industry, academia, research, application, and finance.

In response to APEC’s agenda for promoting regional economic integration and international cooperation on infrastructure connectivity, the original “12th Guangzhou International Rail Transit Exhibition (iMetro)” has been closely aligned with the overarching program of APEC’s “China Year” in 2026, serving as a key industry‑supporting event linked to the summit’s international cooperation initiatives in the rail‑transit sector. The exhibition venue has been relocated from Guangzhou to Shenzhen.

Seizing the strategic opportunity presented by APEC’s rail‑transit cooperation agenda, the exhibition has undergone a significant upgrade in its international profile. This elevation marks its official entry into a new phase of global operations, and its English abbreviation “iMetro” will remain in use. The upgraded “World Rail Transit Exhibition (iMetro)” will be anchored in China, serve the Asia‑Pacific region, and extend its reach worldwide, more broadly connecting supply‑and‑demand resources across the global rail‑transit industry,汇聚 world expertise, and致力于推动全球轨道交通技术革新与可持续发展，谱写合作共赢的新篇章。

The Shenzhen World Rail Transit Exhibition (iMetro) is being meticulously crafted through a comprehensive brand refresh, a substantial expansion in scale, and multifaceted, multi‑dimensional collaborations, creating a high‑quality, exceptional feast for the rail‑transit sector. The projected exhibition area will exceed 40,000 square meters, featuring ten thematic zones. With精准对接为办展核心, the exhibition will deeply understand the new requirements for the sustainable business development of exhibitors and thoroughly explore the fresh demands of业主单位建设和运维高品质发展新需求。It is expected to attract over 500 renowned companies and brands, showcasing cutting‑edge technologies and bringing to the industry the latest research, technologies, equipment, and comprehensive solutions spanning all types of rail transit—railways, subways, trams, light rails, maglevs, and more—covering the entire industrial chain, value chain, supply chain, and生态 chain.
