Gathering Momentum for a New Future in Rail Transit! The 22nd Annual Summit of the World Rail Transit Industry

From 30th to 31st in Oct., 2025, the 22nd Anniversary Summit of the World Rail Transitwas held in Beijing. This grand event, bringing together industry authorities, cutting-edge technologies, and strategic wisdom, focused on the core theme of "Strategic Transformation to Promote the Sustainable Development of China's Rail Transit," drawing a new blueprint for the development of the global rail transit industry.

 Authorities gathered to discuss a new chapter in development.

Guo Lin, former Vice Minister of Railways and President of the World Association for the Development of Rail Transit, attended the event and opened the summit with a professional introduction. Guests from supporting organizations such as the Institute of Comprehensive Transportation of the National Development and Reform Commission and the China Urban Rail Transit Association, as well as special co-organizers such as Beijing Subway Operation Co., Ltd. and Beijing Port Subway Co., Ltd., gathered together. Industry leaders such as Alstom China and CASCO Signal also participated deeply, building a multi-dimensional exchange platform linking government, industry, academia, research, and application.

Driven by both technological innovation and strategic transformation

At the summit, the release of the new book "Research on Railway Power Supply Operation Safety and Technology (2025 Edition)" was a major highlight. This book focuses on safety and technological breakthroughs in the field of railway power supply, providing authoritative technical guidance for industry operation and maintenance. Meanwhile, the unveiling of the book "Digitalization of Railway Power Supply" closely aligns with the background of the construction of "six modern railway systems," proposing a new development pattern of "digital empowerment and intelligent operation and maintenance," and outlining a transformation path for the digitalization, intelligentization, and modernization of railway power supply through a "1-1-5-1-1" action plan.

During the keynote speech session, industry experts conducted in-depth analyses on "Strategic Transformation Driving the Sustainable Development of China's Rail Transit." From technological innovation in railway power supply to the digital transformation of the entire industry; from operational optimization of a single rail network to the collaborative development of global rail transit, the guests' sharing combined macro-strategic vision with micro-technical practical application, injecting new momentum into the industry's development.

Anchoring the future of sustainable development in the industry

 Currently, the rail transit industry is at a critical juncture of strategic transformation. This summit serves not only as a review and summary of the 22-year history of global rail transit development, but also as a forward-looking plan for future development. Through industry planning interpretation, technological achievements demonstration, and enterprise experience sharing, the summit has built a bridge for resource sharing and intellectual exchange across the upstream and downstream of the industry chain, helping China's rail transit industry accelerate its progress on the path of digitalization, intelligentization, and green development, steadily moving towards the goal of "sustainable development."

 As an innovative benchmark in the field of rail transit power supply, Anhui Jinli Electric Technology Co., Ltd. took the opportunity of this summit to engage in in-depth dialogue with the industry, showcasing its intelligent lightning protection system solution for traction power supply. This solution builds an intelligent "lightning protection barrier" for railway power supply safety and continuously unleashes "Jinli wisdom." In the future, let us take intelligent lightning protection technology innovation as our wings and jointly compose a new chapter of "Made in China" in the wave of rail transit development.
