Strong showing seen at CommunicAsia 2009

MANILA, Philippines - CommunicAsia2009 and BroadcastAsia2009 are expected to feature about 2,000 exhibiting companies from 65 countries and regions from across the globe, demonstrating the strong demand by companies to expand their footprint in Asia’s emerging markets and the importance of the annual exhibitions as networking and sourcing platform for the global infocomm and media industries. The shows are set to return from June 16-19,2009 at the Singapore Expo.

The infocomm industry’s strength is still evident despite the unpredictable conditions in the global economy. Infocomm sectors in many Asian countries are out-performing the rest of the global economy representing significant opportunities here.

The global gloom has accentuated the gleaming potential in Asia and increased the urgency in which international companies are moving into the continent,“said Victor Wong, project directorate show organizer Singapore Exhibition Services. “CommunicAsia and BroadcastAsia’s established reputation and repeated ability to attract trade professionals from across the Asia Pacific region makes the shows the first choice for exhibiting companies especially in the current environment of tighter budgets.” Visitors can look forward to exciting displays from market leaders like Blackberry, Google, Harris, Huawei, LG, Navteq, Samsung Yahoo! And ZTE.

As companies are turning to cutting edge technologies to meet the challenges posed by today’s tough economic climate, CommunicAsia2009 will focus on the latest Hot Technologies for applications solutions and hardware. These key technologies, which are already starting to have a huge impact on the way we live, work and play, include IPTV, Mobile Entertainment, WiMAX, Navigation & LBS, Sattelite, Femtocell, iGov, Wireless Technoligies, Green IT, and Mobile Internet.
