happy with what I can find here. In this exhibition, I
got to know the future trend of automation and many new
products in this industry. I have also received a lot
of business contacts that I can bring back to India. I
have also attended the conferences (ICS New Technology
Forum), which were very informative for me. I must congratulate
SES for a very well organized exhibition. There are many
international companies here and they represent all technologies
combining under 1 big umbrella.” |

| “I am here to source for specific products such
as, analysis instruments but I ended up finding alternatives.
I would say that there is a strong representation from
Singapore and Malaysia on semi-conductor. On the mechanical
side, it is from Germany and on the electrical side, it
is from France. The solar cells (at Enviro Asia) by Germans
were very impressive. I have also collected a lot of information
on lab equipments. This information will become very useful
for building up my own lab in future.” |
