Shenzhen World Rail Transit Exhibition

The Value of Exhibiting at the Guangzhou International Rail Transit Exhibition (iMetro)

• The nation’s earliest industry flagship trade show initiated by government entities, boasting unparalleled authority and influence. Guided by the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and other agencies, and spearheaded by the Guangzhou Municipal People’s Government, this unique administrative background has made iMetro the only professional exhibition in China to have been visited by the largest number of city mayors and senior government officials leading local owner delegations. Past editions have also welcomed nearly 60 city government delegations—including those from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Wuhan, and Hangzhou—for fact‑finding missions. This robust governmental endorsement serves as a strategic gateway for companies to establish high‑level dialogue, navigate policy directions, and deepen their presence in the Chinese rail transit market.
• Comprehensive Industry Ecosystem Coverage, the Preferred Platform for Supply‑Demand Matching. After more than a decade of steady growth, iMetro has made it its mission to facilitate business outcomes for exhibitors, having enabled thousands of rail transit suppliers to engage in efficient commercial negotiations and project对接 with numerous业主单位. The exhibit range spans four core segments: rolling stock, infrastructure construction and operations, technology enablers, and “Rail+” applications. The 2025 eleventh edition further pioneered the “Super Integrated Transportation Hubs” theme—featuring air‑rail, port‑rail, and road‑rail hubs—adding a new dimension of cross‑sectoral integration to the supply side.
• Global Leaders On Stage, Showcasing Hardcore Technologies. Past exhibitors include CRRC, China Railway, China Signal & Communication Group, Huawei, CRCC, Herrenknecht, Baiyun Electric, Bombardier, Thales, and other domestic and international industry giants. In the tunneling equipment segment, iMetro is the only platform nationwide where leading manufacturers such as Herrenknecht, Sany Heavy Industry, China Railway Equipment, CSSC Heavy Industries, Robbins, Hitachi Zosen, and China Communications Construction Company Tianhe can compete on the same stage. This vibrant showcase of cutting‑edge technologies provides an authoritative platform for companies to demonstrate their technical prowess and benchmark against world‑class standards.
• Precise Access to Vast Owner Resources, Catalyzing Business Collaboration. Leveraging its distinctive government backing and industry clout, iMetro has consistently drawn participation from the national railway system and nearly 100 railway and urban rail operators from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Changsha, and Chengdu, who visit in organized groups to engage with exhibitors. At the same time, the exhibition serves as the preferred B2B platform for local governments seeking to attract investment and promote regional clusters; delegations from the Guangzhou Rail Transit Equipment Industrial Park, Tianjin Binhai New Area, and Luoyang have repeatedly brought local enterprises to make a strong impression. Here, exhibitors not only connect directly with end users but also gain access to regional industrial ecosystem resources.
