• electronicAsia 2007 expects 540 exhibitors from 16 countries in Hong Kong from 13 to 16 October 
• Attractive site, positive business atmosphere and business-oriented trade fair environment provide access to the growth markets of Southeast Asia

electronicAsia 2007 is attracting international purchasers for its exhibitors at one of the most significant trading centers for Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, from 13 to 16 October 2007. The leading regional trade fair for electronic components and parts, services for the electronics industry and display technologies will again be the meeting place for more than 540 companies from 16 countries and regions in the centrally located Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. With this fair, electronicAsia 2007 is providing an ideal opportunity for the trade public from the region and overseas to get to know innovative products and their suppliers, meet potential partners personally, and share industry and technology know-how on a high level.

Attractive Site of Hong Kong
The site of electronicAsia is first-class for its exhibitors and visitors. Hong Kong provides the perfect trading platform for electronics with its location and its economic policy framework conditions. More electronics are bought and sold in the special administrative district, which still profits from its largely duty-free status, than at any other place in Asia.


As a result, the organizers of electronicAsia 2007, Messe München International and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council expect a continually high number of visitors. Last year, more than 33,000 trade visitor – approximately 56 percent of them from outside of Hong Kong – used electronicAsia as the largest trade and purchaser fair in Asia for electronic components.

The mood on the electronics market in Southeast Asia is excellent. The participants already expressed optimism in a survey about the trade fair at electronicAsia 2006 about the future of the regional industry. More than 60 percent of the exhibitors and visitors expected continued growth of the electronics markets, especially in Southeast Asia. Current figures confirm these subjective assessments; in 2006, total exports of Hong Kong for electronic components and parts achieved a value 107.6 billion US dollars, 15.9 percent more than in the previous year.

electronicAsia is opening the way to the growth market in Southeast Asia to its exhibitors and covering a large range of electronic components, display technologies and services, for which numerous business deals will be concluded.

Countries and Special Topics Are Exhibiting in an Exclusive Ambience
As every year, numerous exhibitors are taking advantage of the chance to participate in the country pavilions with their many visitors. Germany, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China will have such joint country exhibitions at electronicAsia 2007. Another joint exhibition will be in the "Hong Kong Metal Parts and Components Pavilion", which celebrated its premier last year. Member companies of the "Hong Kong Metals Manufacturers Association" are concentrated in this area, which have metal components as well as switches, capacitors, potentiometers, coils and transformers in their exhibition portfolios, among other things.

A highlight within electronicAsia is the "World of Display Technology" (WODT). In this exhibition area, everything is focused on new display technologies, research and development for the next equipment generation as well as production technologies for this strong-growth sector. Exhibitors include companies such as Truly Semiconductors Ltd., COTCO International Ltd., Kindwin Technology (H.K.) Ltd. and Sunscreen Co. Ltd.

Outstanding products and companies are exhibiting in a "Hall of Fame" at electronicAsia 2007. Approximately 30 exhibitors are represented there with their brand products, including Philips Electronics Hong Kong Ltd (Philips Light Factory Hong Kong), Surface Mount Technology (Holdings) Limited and S.i.sv.el. (Hong Kong) Limited.

electronicAsia is again taking place parallel to the "Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition)" in 2007, the largest trade fair in Asia for consumer electronics and the second largest in the world. electronicAsia exhibitors profit especially from the synergies of these parallel events in the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
