CeBIT 2005 Photo Coverage
Shanghai, China
March 15 - 17, 2005
The Tiger Stirs
Electronica & Productonica is meant to examine trends in laser and electro optics in China. Yet, when we got to the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC), it was obvious that something else was going on. Running in conjunction with Electronica and Productronica China 2005 is the annual Semicon China 2005 event - they are even sharing the same aisles. There were two other trade events in the SNIEC at the same time. The place was hopping. We have not seen such excitement at a trade show venue in years. China has awakened.
This is the 4th International Trade Fair for Components, Assemblies and Photonic Technologies. It occupies one and a half of the long buildings of the SNIEC. The other three and a half are taken up by the Semicon show. This is the semiconductor equipment trade event. Next week is the FPD event run by Semicon. The Semicon show, which opened this morning, was alive with attendees and exhibitors.
