European companies behind CommunicAsia’s growth
European participation at CommunicAsia has grown by 30 per cent 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, the 2005 edition of

During the last CommunicAsia, that took place
from June 15-18, 2004 at the Singapore Expo, over
1,300 companies and 45,000 business professionals
gathered to network, exchange ideas and negotiate
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 the 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
organiser Singapore Exhibition Services.
The North American contingent at CommunicAsia2004
brought 120 companiessignaling 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 for Fairs and Exhibitions, at Siemens
AG.
CommunicAsia has grown to become Asias 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.

industry needs while providing a thought leadership
platform and gateway into Asias info-communications
technology industry. The event features sub-shows in
networks, satellite communications and mobile communications.

technologies, grew out of CommunicAsia to
meet the growing business demands for technology
infrastructure.
