Commenting on the current situation, Mr Louis Leung, Deputy General Manager of Guangzhou Guangya Messe Frankfurt Co Ltd expressed: “We are highly aware of the disruption the outbreak has caused the industry, so we will be doing all we can to support our stakeholders over the coming months to ensure the fair goes ahead successfully. The safety of all our exhibitors and visitors remains our top priority, so a range of hygiene precautions are being planned to give all participants confidence that they can attend the fair safely.”
The organisers have established various online means to assist industry players to reach their business goals. These include pre-show online business matching that helps customers to identify their target business partners beforehand. There will also be online video conferences for exhibitors to promote their respective products while getting more market exposure at the same time. More details will be revealed later.
To ensure high standards of hygiene at the fairground, the organisers will strengthen protective measures which include temperature checks for all fair participants, disinfection of all high-touch areas, placing additional hand sanitisers throughout the entire fairground, increasing ventilation between the aisles by adjusting air conditioning and improving pre-show logistics management.
High participation rate demonstrates strong determination from renowned exhibitors
In light of the growth of the Chinese power electronics market, the show has attracted many international and domestic exhibitors to present their latest innovations and products to industry experts this year. Presently over 70% of exhibition space has been booked for the 2020 show, a 20% increase from the same time a year earlier. This high registration rate reflects the confidence the industry has in the fair as a key meeting ground for the power electronics industry in Asia. Visitors can expect to see prominent brands from countries and regions around the world, including China, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, the UK, the US and more.
