The 138th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) recently opened grandly in Guangzhou. This year’s fair set new records in the number of exhibitors, total booths, and pre-registered overseas buyers. Intennel Business Group Managing Director Qiu Zhaojun led a team to the fair, with a focused agenda on the new-energy sector and innovative technology enterprises.
On the opening day alone, more than 69,000 overseas buyers attended, representing 218 countries and regions, creating a vibrant atmosphere of global trade throughout the exhibition halls.
01 Strategic Focus: Engaging High-Quality Corporate Resources
At this year’s Canton Fair, the Intennel Business Group team conducted in-depth research on over 10,000 high-quality exhibitors, many of whom are recognized as high-tech enterprises, “specialized and sophisticated” innovators, and national single-champion manufacturers.
Managing Director Qiu commented:
“We consistently focus on enterprises with strong core competitiveness and continuous innovation capability. The Canton Fair provides us with an exceptional platform for project matchmaking.”
The team carried out structured evaluations across sectors and tracks, including new energy, smart healthcare, service robotics, and other frontier industries, laying the groundwork for upcoming investment plans.
02 Key Area of Study: Full-Chain Analysis of the New-Energy Sector
As the group’s primary area of focus this round, the new-energy sector demonstrated a robust growth momentum, with 305 new-energy enterprises exhibiting at the fair.
At the booth of Shandong Muyang New Energy Co., Ltd., Qiu obtained detailed insights into the company’s full suite of core technologies and held in-depth discussions with senior management.
Qiu noted:
“The maturity of the new-energy industry exceeded our expectations. From air-energy heating and thermal storage, to solar energy storage, to photovoltaic power generation, the entire industry chain is being rapidly optimized.”
He added that China’s new-energy enterprises—expanding deeply in Europe, breaking through in the Middle East, and cultivating emerging markets—offer valuable strategic references for global expansion and provide important benchmarks for investment decisions.
03 Deep Engagement: Building an Industrial Investment Ecosystem
During the Canton Fair, the Intennel Business Group team visited numerous leading companies across multiple industries. Beyond viewing displayed products, the team also initiated preliminary discussions regarding technology pathways, market strategies, and financing needs.
Qiu paid special attention to the service robotics zone, expressing strong interest in the collaborative robots displayed by Shenzhen UFactory Technology Co., Ltd., equipped with self-developed industrial-grade high-precision robotic arms.
Qiu stated:
“The Canton Fair is not only a trade platform but also an important venue for us to gain cutting-edge industry insights and build high-quality project pipelines.”
The Intennel research team felt not only the commercial vitality at the fair but also the accelerating pace of technological transformation. After experiencing UFactory’s massage robot, an Italian buyer exclaimed:
“This is the future!”
In the new-energy section, after discussions with multiple international buyers, Qiu concluded that China’s hydrogen-energy companies are entering an optimal window for global expansion. As global energy transition accelerates, Chinese enterprises—with strong technological and manufacturing capabilities—are increasingly competitive in international markets.
Intennel Business Group will continue to follow the high-quality companies and projects identified at this Canton Fair, conduct thorough due-diligence assessments, and seize the historic opportunities brought by the rise of green-technology industries.
