Held at the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center, the Forum brought together top industry experts, leading IC vendors, major electronics suppliers and buyers to discuss industry trends and offer insights into successful business strategies for the current market. Over 250 senior managers and decision makers from Pearl River Delta electronics manufacturers participated.
"Mainland China is no longer purely a manufacturing hub for low-cost electronics," said Global Sources' CEO, Spenser Au. "To stay competitive, local suppliers need to focus on quality and innovation to meet consumers' increasing expectations for electronics devices that keep us connected in today's digital world. More and more suppliers are doing this today, as evidenced by the increasing number of mainland China brands that have become household names around the world."
"For decades, Global Sources has facilitated trade between mainland China and the world. Therefore, we are committed to help mainland China's electronics industry reach the next level in its development. Our 'From Design to Sales' Forum, along with our electronics trade shows, technical magazines, trade journals, online marketplaces and industry events give local suppliers the edge they need in today's increasingly competitive market."
Expert panel to scrutinize industry's prospects
The Forum covers a series of topics, including the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, ways to excel in design and manufacturing and how to export products more effectively. One highlight of the Forum is a panel discussion on how to develop a successful business model for mainland China's high-tech sector -- from designing to manufacturing to selling. Expert speakers participating in the Forum include:
-- Spenser Au, CEO, Global Sources
-- Alice Sun, Principal Analyst, representing eMedia Asia Ltd.
