In what can only be described as outstanding, HAESCO and many of our members supported the 2009 EcoAsiaExpo event.

A special thank you to the efforts for our HAESCO Event Committee Chairman Mr David Leung (Euro Tech) who worked tirelessly in conjunction with the Federation of Hong Kong Industries, so that HAESCO members enjoyed rental discount and were included in the Hong Kong Pavilion and guide book.

In Alphabetical order, HAESCO members

• Airline (Frogswell) - www.frogswell.com.hk - booth 5B05
• California Air Limited - www.cal-air.com.hk - booth 5B08A
• EESCO P2E2 Hong Kong Limited - www.eescop2e2.com - booth 5C05

Honestly, I was so busy at the energyLAB booth this year I had little time to visit every other exhibitor,  however the consensus of other members I spoke with was clear, the event was certainly better than last year.

Visiting Delegation
If that was not enough work for HAESCO, and our members, we also co-hosted a Japanese environmental delegation comprising ten firms who were seeking opportunities, and partners in the environmental sector. Business matching session, and a networking cocktail party were kindly arrange by HKTDC.

In addition to this Japanese delegation, other countries had organised delegations specifically for this event.

HAESCO Booth

Again this year HAESCO supported the expo with a HAESCO booth. We must thank HAESCO members Ecotechalliance, and Focus Energy for supporting HAESCO’s presence at this important annual event.
