“Taurus is one of the biggest small household appliances producers in Europe with an annual turnover of about Euro250 million. Our business presence spans across the world with production, R&D and logistics centres in different countries. The International ICT Expo is an important fair for us to learn about new technologies and trends. This year, we have 25 staff from different parts of the world coming to Hong Kong for sourcing. We are especially interested in software applications for smartphones as well as tablet PCs. Everything has been great in Hong Kong from hotel to transportation and exhibition facilities. We expect to spend as much as Euro4 million this time in Hong Kong for the sourcing of new products.”

“With a business history of about 20 years, Future Rider is a distributor of computer and laptop components. The International ICT Expo is really a large-scaled exhibition for the industry offering a lot of innovative ideas and products. We are looking for various tablet PC accessories and have found 10 potential suppliers at the fair. We will definitely place orders after further communication and the amount of business can exceed US$2 million.”

“We are one of the biggest ICT suppliers in Indonesia. We source products mainly from the Chinese mainland, Korea, Europe and the US. This is my second visit to the Expo. The trip has been rewarding. I have found some very interesting items such as video IP call devices, mobile apps applications and WiFi routers. These products have a potential for growth in our market. We are looking to conclude deals worth up to US$1 million, subject to sample testing and further negotiation. HKTDC always provides great support and I enjoy the visit very much. The Expo has good reputation and I will certainly recommend it to other industry players.”

“We are visiting the fair for the fourth year with the focus on a variety of items such as smartphones, tablet PCs and accessories for iPhone. We are an importer of a wide range of innovative products and the Expo has become a major trade event for our sourcing every year. It is just great to be able to see so many suppliers all under one roof. We’ve identified about 20 potential products and will conduct sample testing before placing orders. I expect the amount of business this time will reach US$500,000.”

Sebastián Vanella, General Manager, D2 Pad, Chile
“We provide IT products and solutions to help businesses improve efficiency. This is my first visit to the Expo. I’ve found a lot of interesting items such as mobile applications, web TV broadcast solution, logistics software and printing management software that can help reduce the use of paper and conserve the environment. An innovative mobility device designed to help the blind move around more easily also has good business potential. We will place orders worth at least US$180,000 as a start and do expect to develop further relationship with them.”

“Our PaperCut software provides an easy way to monitor and manage printing, thus enhancing cost savings and environmental conservation. Today, our software sells to 120 countries worldwide in 20 different languages. We are exhibiting here for the second time. The Expo is a perfect place for networking and interacting with companies from different parts of the world. The response has been very good so far. We’ve got in touch with four serious customers in the first few hours of exhibition including two from Hong Kong, one from the Philippines and the other from Malaysia. The Philippines partner provides support services to 100 schools around Manila, which means 100 potential end-users for our software. The Expo is a great show with the right atmosphere. The support provided by HKTDC is terrific, making it so easy for us to exhibit and promote our product here.”
