NATEXPO 2013 exhibition
The UK Pavilion at NAT EXPO was organised by TradeFair, sponsored by Intellect and supported by UKTI-Russia. Attendance at the show helped the participants to meet future partners and potential buyers.
It also gave the companies an opportunity to showcase their innovative products and solutions including:
-
cable infrastructure
-
news production
-
archive management
-
sound recording
Chris Smeeton, Sales Director, Argosy said
The Russian broadcasting market is developing rapidly and a presence at NATEXPO gives us an opportunity to meet key buyers and distributors. It’s a perfect place to establish the right contacts in the industry.
The GREAT Britain pavilion branded “Technology is GREAT” was in a central location at the exhibition and hosted six of the seven UK companies. This eye-catching pavilion helped to increase the profile of the UK companies at the exhibition, attracting a lot of visitors and media contacts.
Feedback from participants
“NATEXPO is an ideal ground for us to show-case our latest innovations to the market” – says Martin Mulligan, Sales Director, Quantel.
“We had a very successful show and have already received orders on the back” – Chris Exelby, Managing Director, TSL.
2012 visit to NATEXPO
Following a successful visit to NATEXPO last year a number of UK companies have since established contacts with Russian counterparts with UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) support. They are now entering into partnership agreements with the Russian integrators or expanding their presence at the Russian market.
