Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) 2008/electronicAsia 2008
The 28th edition of the Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) 2008, which runs from today until Thursday, is a key international marketplace that has grown into the largest fair of its kind in Asia, and the second largest in the world.
Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the fair features more than 2,600 exhibitors showing audio-visual products, electronic accessories, home appliances, multimedia and electronic gaming, security products, telecommunications products and more.
Last year, more than 58,000 buyers from 160 countries and regions visited the fair. The show runs concurrently with electronicAsia 2008, whose 560 exhibitors focus on electronic parts and components. Semiconductors, embedded systems, sensors, interconnection technology to power suppliers, manufacturing equipment and logistics for semiconductors and components are among the products on display.
In its 12th year, electronicAsia is jointly organised by the HKTDC and MMI-Munich International Trade Fairs. It attracted more than 34,000 buyers from 143 countries and regions last year.
'The two fairs provide buyers with a one-stop sourcing venue. We hope the electronics fair and electronicAsia can continue to serve the electronics and electronic components industries as the best sourcing platform, and an information exchange platform,' said Raymond Yip, HKTDC assistant executive director, who noted that the concurrent fairs grouped more than 3,150 companies (4,500 booths) in total.
