After much positive feedback on the ‘In-Matching’ and ‘Business Matching & Appointment Making Services’ from exhibitors and visitors last year, SIBT and SSHT will offer both again this year to further help industry players to adapt to the rapid development of the smart building, smart office, smart parking and smart home markets in China.
Ms Lucia Wong, Deputy General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd commented: “Along with the steady recovery of the Chinese economy, the smart industry is developing at a fast pace and continuously expanding, while smart aspects are creating connections throughout the industry and featuring in a wide range of new products. So we are optimistic that the fairs will offer a successful business environment this December, aided by our business matching services, and that they will bring about a positive message to the industry as a whole. Our fairs will continue to move forward alongside the industry, stimulating innovation and inspiration in this new era of smart products and solutions.”
The ‘In-Matching’ service will pair supply and demand between select, high-quality exhibitors and specially invited buyers to arrange onsite meetings over the fairs’ three days. Participants’ meeting schedules will be tailor-made by the fairs’ business matching experts to ensure they meet the right targets.
The ‘Business Matching & Appointment Making Services’ uses the WeChat platform to arrange meetings between all exhibitors and buyers, and offers other services including visitor registration and exhibitor search. The SIBT & SSHT online exhibitor search has also been launched and will continue to be updated with the latest exhibitor information.
