“I visit this fair because I like to import products from the Chinese mainland, such as mobile phones, DVD players, multimedia items, air conditioners and GPS. Here I can find huge numbers of suppliers, and the quality is good. I like to find new styles of popular products as well as new technology. This is my second visit, but representatives from the company have been coming here for around 30 years. We spend between US$5-10 million each year as a result of our visit to the show.”

"My company specialises in importing auto accessories into the Indian market. I came here for the first time last year and thought it was an excellent show, so I have returned. This fair is ideal for finding new leads and you get real quality here – I take the information on suppliers and products back home and we follow them up. Last year we placed orders worth US$100,000 as a result and I will do similar business again this time. This show is the best!"

"We have developed an electric sensor system for diapers for elderly people, which is currently being tested in conjunction with nursing homes; we have already received a patent. We are keen to find industry partners that can work with us to help bring the product to market – we are developing two kinds, one for home use and the other for nursing homes. We are taking part in the new Invention Zone of the fair. This show is suitable for us because it brings in serious business buyers from all over the world. We have had a lot of interest from visitors, particularly from the US, Europe, Chinese mainland, Australia and Japan – significantly these are all countries with ageing populations. "

"We are a Ukrainian-Swiss company that is number one in the CIS countries for mobile reading devices, with a 45% market share. We’re looking to expand our share in other parts of the world, especially Asia – the potential in this region is huge. So we are participating in the Autumn Edition of the show for the first time in order to reach out to distributors and partners in the Asia Pacific market. Just in the first few hours of the show we met buyers from Taiwan, the Chinese mainland and Australia – all markets of interest to us. We like the show very much – the organiser does their very best to satisfy our needs. For example, everything in our booth was all set up in advance – this is very professional."
