The show, cancelled last year because of Sars, will see an influx of new exhibitors
The region's largest communications trade show is back on track just a year after it was sidetracked by the Sars outbreak, with support from big Asian technology firms and the influx of new mainland exhibitors.
The Asian International Communications and Information Technology Exhibition and Conference, also known as CommunicAsia, is set to reopen next month in Singapore with a fresh batch of corporate sponsors and participants from 54 countries.
'Business has picked up, including the quality of our exhibitors from Asia,' said Stephen Tan, chief executive of Singapore Exhibition Services.
'This year, the total number of Hong Kong and mainland companies participating in the show has increased by almost 65 per cent from 2002.'
The 15th CommunicAsia, from June 15 to 18 at the Singapore Expo centre, is expected to attract more than 50,000 international trade visitors and more than 2,000 companies exhibiting the latest trends in wireless broadband and internet-based communications hardware, software and services.
