LARGEST CONTINGENT OF LEADING EUROPEAN GREENTECH COMPANIES AT IGEM 2011

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 5 (Bernama) -- The EU-Malaysia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (EUMCCI), with support from the European Union (EU), will coordinate the participation of European companies at the second International GreenTech and Eco Products Exhibition and Conference Malaysia (IGEM 2011).

"The EU was the largest exhibitor at IGEM 2010 and we are looking forward to having a greater response for this year’s exhibition," said EUMCCI chairman David Jones, in a statement Friday.

This year, the EUMCCI has reserved space for 54 booths and once again boasts the largest pavilion at IGEM 2011.

At last year’s event the EU Pavilion saw an overwhelming response with the participation of 39 European companies from nine EU countries, making it the biggest contingent at the exhibition.

The four-day event beginning Sept 7, will be held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC). It is expected to draw more than 500 companies and organisations from around the world and over 90,000 visitors.

"The EU is a world leader in green technology and is more than willing to support and work alongside their Malaysian counterparts in contributing to green
growth," Jones said.

He also said the IGEM is a strategic platform to position EU companies as ideal green tech partners for like-minded industry players and professionals from various sectors in Malaysia and the region.

The statement noted that Siemens and Alstom have been confirmed as returning exhibitors for this year.

The IGEM is now known as the biggest and most successful green technology exhibition and conference in Asia.
