"To explore the global industrial market, you shall come to Hanover". This has become a consensus in the global industrial community.

In late June, Hong Kong-based exhibition company Paper Communication and Guangdong Asia-link Exhibition Co Ltd organized a press conference on the "Greater Bay Area Industrial Expo 2019 and Machinery Industrial Tour" in Zhongshan.

It was revealed at the meeting that exhibition companies in Zhongshan will partner up with Paper Communication to strengthen the "Greater Bay Area Industrial Expo". From the second half of this year, the Machinery Industrial Tour would take place in Greater Bay Area cities, thereby forming a new "1+N" exhibition mode of multi-exhibition linkage and resource sharing, so as to transform the Greater Bay Area into China's "Hanover".

China (Guzhen) International Light Fair began its interaction with the Canton Fair in earlier years, while China Household Electrical Appliances Trade Fair started to march into Chengdu, a southwestern city. They all proved that Zhongshan's exhibition industry was trying to bid farewell to small-scale exhibitions and accelerating the integration of resources of large-scale domestic conventions and exhibitions.

Cooperation between Paper Communication and Asia-Link marks another breakthrough Zhongshan exhibition industry makes to get out of the "small-scale exhibition age". On an agreement, both companies will jointly create a world's leading industrial expo in Shenzhen, which will serve as the main industrial exhibition in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. They will also host a series of machinery exhibitions in Zhongshan, Dongguan, Jiangmen, Foshan, Zhuhai, Huizhou and other Greater Bay Area cities.
