Guangzhou's exhibition sector aligns with the "12218" modern industrial framework, is accelerating the construction of "one industry, one exhibition" brand system. The newly established Guangzhou International Exhibition Group aims to create a leading one-stop integrated service platform for industry-specific exhibitions.
