Several Measures of Shenzhen Municipality on Accelerating the Building of an International Exhibition & Convention Capital (Revised) (Excerpts)

 II. Build a Multi-Tiered, High-Level Exhibition System　　

(V) Vigorously Introduce and Cultivate Renowned Exhibitions. Actively introduce renowned brand exhibitions with global influence and China’s top 100 exhibitions, and support domestic and international exhibitions in holding their “Shenzhen debut.” Vigorously develop “first launches,” “first exhibitions,” and “first shows,” and build an international display and trading platform for new products, new business forms, new models, new services, and new technologies. For newly introduced and cultivated market-oriented “renowned exhibitions” and “debut exhibitions,” awards shall be granted at a certain percentage of venue rental, up to CNY 6 million per session. Support the undertaking of various national-level forums and conferences and bidding to host high-level international summit meetings. Encourage all departments and districts, in light of actual industrial and jurisdictional needs, to provide certain subsidies for newly introduced market-oriented conference (forum) projects. (Responsible authorities: Shenzhen Municipal Commerce Bureau, Shenzhen Municipal Foreign Affairs Office, and district governments)

(VI) Accelerate the Upgrading of Exhibitions. Support exhibitions in becoming bigger and stronger, continuously expanding scale effects and enhancing international influence. Provide venue rental subsidies at a certain percentage for exhibitions held in professional exhibition venues across the city, and appropriately increase the subsidy percentage for growth-oriented exhibitions, international exhibitions, and exhibitions held during specific periods (January, February, July, August, and December). The maximum subsidy for a single exhibition per session shall be CNY 3 million. (Responsible authorities: Shenzhen Municipal Commerce Bureau)

(VII) Promote the Integrated Development of Industry and Exhibitions. Focus on strategic emerging industries and future industries, leverage the role of exhibitions in promoting industry development and expanding industrial development space, and provide incubation-period subsidies for three consecutive years to newly cultivated exhibitions on relevant themes, with the maximum subsidy for a single exhibition per session not exceeding CNY 500,000. Support the holding of “bellwether” exhibitions. Relevant departments may, in light of Shenzhen’s actual industrial development, provide a certain proportion of financial support to professional exhibitions that are urgently needed for introduction, have high growth potential, or have industry-leading effects. (Responsible authorities: Shenzhen Municipal Commerce Bureau, Shenzhen Municipal Development and Reform Commission, Shenzhen Municipal Science, Technology and Innovation Bureau, Shenzhen Municipal Industry and Information Technology Bureau, Shenzhen Municipal Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports Bureau, and Shenzhen Municipal Marine Development Bureau)

(VIII) Create Benchmark Brand Exhibitions. Cultivate a high-level exhibition system, continuously enhance the brand influence of Shenzhen exhibitions, and support exhibitions in strategic emerging industries, traditional advantageous industries, and other fields in continuously improving quality, upgrading, and becoming stronger and better. Encourage exhibitions to actively align with high-standard rules. For projects recognized as Shenzhen brand exhibitions, provide tiered awards of up to CNY 500,000.
