Automechanika Shanghai 2021 announces …
onsite-to-online touchpoints that support knowledge sharing and networking
Automechanika Shanghai continues to address the demand for knowledge sharing and network building that industry professionals crave. Players can access valuable online content in the lead up to the physical show, offering a sneak peek into the global automotive trends discussed during onsite events on 24 to 27 November 2021 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). The show reinforces its network building capabilities by introducing upgraded functions on AMS Live and personalising the business matchmaking experience through Match Up.
To keep the industry active and innovative, the organisers of Automechanika Shanghai have devised new cross-boundary communications to stimulate industry interactions through the entire automotive value chain. These in-person and online touchpoints aim to build relationships and foster higher shared learning and networking amongst exhibitors, visitors, media, associations, government bodies, research and training institutes.
Ms Fiona Chiew, Deputy General Manager, Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, explains: “Now more than ever, there is a willingness to reach across time zones and continents to connect with people, as business networking has evolved into crafting experiences that communicate ideas and opportunities. Therefore, the 17th edition of Automechanika Shanghai will centre on providing participants more valuable onsite-to-online encounters through creative and personalised content, events and services.”
Upgrades to AMS Live help companies explore global markets
For the second year running, the show’s online platform, AMS Live, will provide solutions for participants looking to access the show’s resources anytime and anywhere. A glimpse into some pre-show activities will be available on the website from 10 November 2021, with content hinting at many of the physical fair’s key highlights.
To illustrate, Automechanika Shanghai has teamed up with Magic Cube, a highly influential industry media outlet in China, to interview several exhibitors, organisations, associations and more. Since the programme launched in September, the first livestreamed series, A Dialogue with Automotive Entrepreneurs, has received an overwhelming response from viewers that acknowledged the organisers’ efforts in offering an easily accessible outlet for information exchange. The series expects to be seen by over 200,000 viewers as it continues onsite with a host of industry leaders explaining how they are adapting their business strategies in response to the broader operating environment.
The show has also engaged with overseas thought leaders to discuss prominent trends sweeping across countries and regions like Africa, Australia, Europe, the Middle East, Russia, and the US. These conversations outline different business climates, potential opportunities and market entry points for companies looking to venture into the international market.
Vital exchanges through onsite events and the AMS Live stream
Content from over 50 fringe activities across the four-day show offers a wide variety of resources for participants exploring future developments. A number of these will be conducted in an onsite-to-online environment.
Furthermore, many speakers are affiliated with top companies leading the charge for industry transformation and upgrade. With this, Automechanika Shanghai aims to boost market momentum and function as a catalyst for innovation across various supply chain stages. Key events include:
