Event Summary: The exhibition focus exclusively on converging technologies in the coal and mining technology sectors and will showcase applications, ideas and business strategies in an effort to make the show a convergence destination for selling into the Asian markets. Companies participating in the U.S. Pavilion are provided with an excellent venue to establish or expand overseas distribution, generate sales leads, identify licensing and joint venture partners, find new customers, meet with existing clients, introduce new products, assess the needs of the Asian markets, and evaluate competitors.
