The ElectronicAsia Trade Show in Hong Kong

The electronicAsia trade show in Hong Kong is the Southeast Asian electronics industry's event for making contacts and doing business – and the show proved that again on its 10th anniversary. From October 13th through 16th, 2006, 540 exhibitors from 14 countries and over 33, 000 trade attendees came to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, thus confirming the electronicAsia's significance as the largest trade show and buyers' event in Asia for electronic components, test & measurement technology, and display technologies.

A survey revealed a strong consensus among the exhibitors at electronicAsia in their positive assessment of the large number of attendees and their excellent qualifications. In fact, more than half of the trade visitors were active at the show as purchasing agents for manufacturers or distributors.

Most of the participants came from the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, the USA, South Korea, Japan, Germany, Italy, Great Britain, India and Australia. Based on the information that the attendees provided, 68 percent of them were part of their company's management, purchasing department, or sales and marketing staff. Nearly two thirds came from the sectors for industrial and automotive electronics, communications and entertainment electronics, or aerospace electronics.

Young-Who Hong, deputy general manager of XenoEnergy Co. Ltd (Korea), praised the high number and strong qualifications of the attendees: "Contrary to expectations, we even met potential agents from Argentina, France and Russia. We will definitely exhibit again next year."

With the "World of Display Technology, " electronicAsia 2006 again had a special exhibition area reserved for the high-growth segment of displays. Since the event is traditionally held at the same time and location as the "Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition), " Asia's largest consumer electronics fair, the electronicAsia exhibitors profited from the proximity to their direct target group: Nearly 2, 500 international exhibitors for communications and entertainment electronics as well as approximately 58, 000 trade visitors from the co-located event provided valuable synergy effects.
