Plextek investing in partners overseas
Cambridge-based electronics design house Plextek will
seek new business opportunities when it attends the inaugural Global
Technology Partnering Expo on 11 March at Hinxton Hall. The new event
- the first-ever of its kind in the region - is being held to specifically
introduce technology businesses from the East of England to visiting
national and international companies through a series of brokered personal
meetings as well as an exhibition and a seminar programme.
Demonstrating the keen interest in, and the importance of, the region's
technology businesses, over 40 overseas companies have signed up to
visit from 16 different countries that come from as far afield as China,
Australia, India, Mexico, Canada, Israel, USA and a number of EU countries.
The event will also showcase key innovations, with particular emphasis
on wireless, e-health and environmental monitoring. Global Partnering
Expo is just one activity in the networking initiative for technology-based
organisations in the East of England called Collaborate2Innovate. Launched
in September last year, the programme of activities is aimed to increase
opportunities for technology companies within the region, that includes
the many innovative and enterprising companies located in the Cambridge
to Ipswich Hi-Tech corridor.
