When we came here, we thought maybe it would be nice to get 60 contacts at the end of the show, but after the first day, I think we should up the target by at least 50%. We also appreciate the personal touch from the HKTDC team. On the first day around 6 to 7 team members have reached out to us, for example I was brought to a meeting in a financial section, which has been really useful.

This is our first time joining the EFAE. Compared with other overseas fairs we have recently attended, the buyer quality at the EFAE is much higher, and the footfall is quite big, which has exceeded our expectations. We get to meet around 50 potential buyers every day, many did purchase samples which is a good sign. We expect to sign deals with 10 to 20 companies in the next three months, with a total order value of around 3 -5 million US dollars.

I connected with at least 50 new contacts, 10 of them I met in the business matching meetings arranged by HKTDC in which 2-3 are the mobile accessories manufacturers from Mainland China I’d further contact with. There are also at least 20 potential suppliers mainly from Mainland China, Taiwan, Vietnam and South Korea. My budget for purchasing from these new suppliers is around 3-5 million US dollars.

As of now, I have made 5-6 new contacts and all of them are potentially great to collaborate further. From the click2match platform, I also had 8 more business meetings in which 1-2 of them might convert into a long-term partnership. All of them are from Mainland China. I think the HKTDC app and e-badge are easy-to-use. These are some very good ideas.
