12th October 2004 - European participation at CommunicAsia
has grown by 30% over the past decade – a reflection
that strong European support remains a critical factor
behind the success of Asia’s largest communications
and IT trade exhibition.
This year’s event took place from June 15-17 at
the Singapore Expo. Over 1300 companies and 45,000 business
professionals gathered to network, exchange ideas and
form business deals.
More than 170 European companies were present at the
event which also hosted national pavilions from Belgium,
Finland, France, Germany, Israel, Ireland, Sweden and
United Kingdom.
“In the past decade, we have seen consistent support
from United Kingdom, German and Irish companies. In
recent years, we are seeing more participation from
Belgium, France, Sweden, Italy and several other up
and coming Eastern European nations,” said Mr Alun
Jones, director of London-based Overseas Exhibition
Services (OES). OES is the worldwide associate of organizer
Singapore Exhibition Services.
The North American contingent at CommunicAsia2004 saw
120 companies – signaling a show of commitment
from United States and Canadian companies to reach Asia
through CommunicAsia.
“Both European and North American companies see
the event as an ideal platform to tap into the fast
growing and vibrant Asian market place,” added
Mr Jones.
Several established European industry leaders such
as Ericsson, Siemens, Racal Antennas, IPM International
and Urmet Spa have been with CommunicAsia for the past
eight shows.
"CommunicAsia has been one of the most important
exhibitions in telecommunication and network engineering
in Asia for the last 10 years of Siemens Communications.
As a consequence thereof we are able to address all
our customers and potential buyers of south east Asia
and the pacific area and are therefore able to introduce
our various portfolio of innovative products, solutions
and services," said Mr Christian Trieflinger, Project
Manager Fairs and Exhibitions for Siemens AG.
CommunicAsia has grown to become Asia’s premier
event serving the communications and IT industry through
the last 15 editions. Since it began in 1979 with 220
companies, the event has grown more than six fold.
CommunicAsia has evolved to stay relevant to industry
needs while providing a thought leadership platform
and gateway into Asia’s info-communications technology
industry. The event features sub-shows in networks,
satellite communications and mobile communications.
EnterpriseIT, an event showcasing enterprise technologies,
grew out of CommunicAsia to meet the growing business
demands for technology infrastructure.
