Speaking to the media before the signing ceremony, RXGC President Michael Cheng said, "Reed Exhibitions has developed the NEPCON series of events to have far-reaching influence in the field of electronic manufacturing. Since its introduction, the show has enjoyed high levels of brand awareness and a strong reputation.
“The 2018 NEPCON China series featured a combined 1,350 world-famous brands who displayed new technologies, equipment and materials. We welcomed 84,146 trade visitors who came to discover industry opportunities.
“In 2019, we’ll hold a NEPCON event in Meishan for the first time. We’re looking forward to bringing our successful operations and management experience, as well as our extensive exhibition industry resources to the city. Innovative development models, new technologies and enhanced interaction and communication between businesses will all be at the forefront. NEPCON West China 2019 will also explore potential opportunities within the Meishan electronic information industry, and inject new vitality into the city.”
Reed Exhibitions is a world-renowned exhibition company that produces over 500 events across 43 industries each year. The NEPCON China series covers the electronics manufacturing industry, attracting exhibitors, visitors and trade industries from all over Asia. Across China, NEPCON events have taken place in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Chengdu, and other places, sparing no effort to strengthen the links between the upstream and downstream of the electronics manufacturing industry chain.
NEPCON has become a highly anticipated electronics manufacturing industry event in China. By closely focusing on the national industrial development strategy and matching the high-speed development trends in west China electronics industries, in 2019, NEPCON West China is successfully settled in Meishan through close cooperation with the Municipal Party Committee and Government of the city.
In 2018, the Sichuan provincial government highlighted 21 key layout industries and key development fields in the cities and prefectures. The focus was on supporting the development of "5+1" industries, and developing and expanding five trillion-level pillar industries. These include electronic information, equipment manufacturing, food and beverage, advanced materials, energy and chemical industries.
Meishan relies on the electronic information space development pattern of "one nuclear area, two corridors". It is a new platform via which to display optical communication equipment, high-end circuit boards and other traditional manufacturing solutions. It also helps electronic information, artificial intelligence, information security, Internet of Things, Big Data, cloud computing, mobile Internet, digital entertainment, intelligent industrial control devices and other emerging industries.
This cooperation is a pioneering Reed Exhibitions initiative for West China’s electronics manufacturing industry development strategy. NEPCON, Reed’s branded electronics manufacturing industry exhibition, is industry-approved. The show aims to help buyers and suppliers access new technologies, gain insight into new trends and understand production and supply issues within the industry. The first edition of NEPCON West China in Meishan will promote the city’s electronic information industry and revitalize the development of West China’s electronics manufacturing industry.
