Today, trading is very different from the traditional past – you are no longer limited by the size of your local market. Technology, communication, travel and most importantly competition have created a borderless environment where markets have expanded and are now global. This phenomenon has created the need for events which bring together buyers and sellers from around the world.
INTRADE is the annual regional trade fair that connects trade exhibitors, buyers and visitors to global markets. Organised by the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) and fully supported by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), INTRADE 2011 is the ideal platform to learn of the vast range of products in the market being showcased. Whether you are a manufacturer, buyer or agent – INTRADE 2011 offers visitors numerous potential business opportunities.
INTRADE 2011 – the 5th Malaysia International Event for Exporters has experienced steady growth over the years. This year’s event will occupy over 9,000 sq. m of floor space. To-date 439 exhibition booths have been taken up by both Malaysian and International exhibitors. Products and services from over 20 countries will be represented at INTRADE 2011, including Singapore, India, Japan, Hong Kong, Korea and Taiwan among others.
10 industries representing growing sectors in Malaysia’s export market will be showcased – they include Automotive Parts & Components, Electrical & Electronics, Food & Beverages and Machinery & Industry Support.
As a visitor to INTRADE 2011, you will be able to experience and learn first-hand the diverse range of products and services that are currently contributing to Malaysia’s growing export market. Speak to manufacturers; network with agents and distributors; build business alliances; source for potential suppliers; explore joint venture opportunities with players at the global level; and learn of the current prospects and challenges in international trade. In addition, premium products from the exhibiting countries will be on show for your benefit.
INTRADE is the one meeting point of the export community from Malaysia, the ASEAN region and other FTA partner countries. It is the perfect platform to facilitate the furtherance of FTA relations amongst the relevant business community.
Recognising this fact, a concurrent event FTA@INTRADE will be organised during INTRADE 2011. Running into its second year, this program is designed to:
a) position Malaysia as an attractive sourcing hub for FTA partners.
b) promote Malaysia as an investment destination amongst FTA partners.
c) increase exports of goods and services within FTA partners.
d) capitalize on existing FTA networks for market expansion to untapped countries.
e) increase the utilization of FTA amongst business communities.
f) enhance export opportunities for Malaysian SMEs amongst FTA partners.
Visitors are encouraged to visit the FTA@INTRADE booth and attend the clinics to learn how they can utilise the FTAa to benefit their export business.
INTRADE 2011 will be held from 22 to 24 November at the MATRADE Exhibition and Convention Centre (MECC), Kuala Lumpur.
