PSA 2002 Returns to Singapore With a Strong International Presence

PSA 2002 features the following industrial exhibitions under its umbrella to provide a relevant and synergistic event for trade visitors:

Held as an extension of PSA 2002, is an event called MOTION, DRIVE & AUTOMATION ASIA 2002 (MDA ASIA 2002) incorporating FLUID POWER ASIA 2002 and POWER TRANSMISSION ASIA 2002, showcasing the most comprehensive fluid power – hydraulics and pneumatics systems, electrical and mechanical power transmission, and internal combustion engines, to provide a more specialised platform for businesses in the industry to share their knowledge and technology.

PSA 2002 – TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES

The effects of the global economic climate as well as developments in the region have made restructuring and recovery process in Asia difficult yet even more necessary than ever before. China gaining entry into the WTO in November 2001 has allowed for freer access to the vast China market. However, challenges posed include increased competition among the ASEAN countries for a share of the USA, European Union and Japan markets in industries such as textile, machinery, electronics and manufacturing, just to name a few.

Therefore, the emphasis on technology, innovation and capabilities in the development of the manufacturing and services industries becomes increasingly important to establish competitive advantage. In addition, with growing economies such as Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, there is an ever-increasing need for infrastructure and construction projects to form the base for sustainable economic development and growth. The long-running PSA 2002 show series therefore presents the most timely and comprehensive gathering of the leading industry players to meet with their targeted trade visitors. PSA 2002 is a one-stop platform whereby visitors are able to source for products and services, exchange knowledge and expertise as well as learn about the latest technology and trends available in the respective industries.
