International ICT Expo
 EasySafe [TM] is a data protection USB key designed specifically for non-technical users. This is our first time here – this show attracts a lot of buyers from around the world. We’ve had interest from buyers looking for new ideas in the market – some are PC companies that want to bundle our product with theirs to add value, others deal with peripherals such as data storage devices. The organisation of the fair is good – we have been well taken care of.
Desmond Hsu, General Manager, Fast and Safe Technology Pte. Ltd., Singapore
 We are looking to meet foreign buyers, resalers and distributors, with the aim of increasing our sales and brand-name recognition in international markets. We are showing new products, including the Wireless Handheld PC Keyboard and Mouse Keypad, which incorporates a small, portably QWERTY keypad and touch pad, as well as the Wireless POS Terminal, which we call a mobile cyber station. The response has been excellent – we’ve made good contacts, mostly from Europe and the US.
