More than £7 million worth of business deals is projected to occur
between UK and international companies, following UK Trade &
Investment's Technology World08 in Coventry.
In its fourth year, the event was attended by a record 600 delegates
from over 400 companies across 36 countries. The participants -
including 60 from the South East - ranged from early-stage businesses with interesting, forward thinking technologies to established global players such as Orange, BT Media & Broadcast, Panasonic, Ericsson, Nokia, Ricoh, Hitachi and Samsung SDS.
During the two-day event last month, a staggering 1,300 plus one-to-one meetings were held between UK and overseas companies to identify and build new business and partnership opportunities. Some
350 meetings were held with South East companies.
Fujitsu Electronics Hiroyuki Sekiyama said: "As a company with large product manufacturer clients, we're always looking for high-quality and new technologies and I find UK companies' technology is of a high standard.
"That's why we attended TechnologyWorld08. We found it easy to
contact the companies we were interested in and have in-depth
conversations about potential business deals."
