“The KIOGE show proved an insight into the potential business opportunities available in the Kazakhstan and Caspian sea region. The assistance given by the EIC team was invaluable to a successful show. Okazaki believe this is a good start to our sales and marketing activities in this region“
Chris Chant, Okazaki Manufacturing Company

“Personally I found the exhibition went very well, we made some good contacts with local companies, the exhibition organisation, quality of companies exhibiting and attendance (QTY and quality!) has confirmed our decision to exhibit next year as well!”
Jon Fowkes, Rotork Fluid System

“As a first time exhibitor KIOGE 2006 really filled all our expectations, the quality of visitors was first rate. There is no other way we would have been able to meet so many key industry individuals in Kazakhstan without attending the show”
