These exhibitors will bring along systems and products for building automation, smart home and community management, generic cabling, security & access control, audio & video, intelligent sun shading, hotel intelligent solutions as well as a series of electrical engineering products. Special focus will be placed on energy-saving devices for buildings and the application of automation control systems in the hotel industry.
Mr Shu Zhong Ming, Product Manager, Marketing Department of LifeSpace of Schneider Electric (China) said: “Headed by Shanghai, the development of intelligent building is growing fast in Eastern China. The best investment opportunities for intelligent building professionals exist in this regional market. From what we’ve seen, clients in Eastern China are more open and willing to adopt intelligent building technology. We believe promotional efforts for the technology are also strongest within the region.”
Mr Joost Demarest, Director of the KNX Association also remarked: “We have gained a strong foothold in the South China market and it is time to go into Shanghai. The prospect of the whole China market is very positive and Shanghai is an important city for our company’s development.”
