GoingToMeet

The 12th Auto Expo Kenya International Trade Exhibition to be held in March 2009 is all set to present over 10,000 products, equipment and machinery from over 30 countries. The number of exhibitors and visitors in 2008 is expected to rise by at least 20% since an agressive campaign has been launched while celebrating the event's 12th birthday. Trade visitors from all over East & Central African countries are being invited dirtectly and in collaboration with several regional trade bodies in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Uganda, Somalia, Mozambique & Zaire. Though Kenya by itself is one of the biggest markets in Africa, major emphasis is being laid upon attracting traders and importers from neighbouring countries. The experience and

comments of exhibitors at previous events indicate substantial gains from unexpected foreign visitors and we strongly feel that a rise in such statistics would ensure business specially for the foreign participants who form almost 80 - 85% of the exhibition.

Why Kenya : With its own population of 34 million approx., Kenya also caters to the regional East African market of over 380 million consumers. In simple words, it is the largest importer and re-exporters of goods to neighboring African countries. This is mainly due to Kenya's geographic location on the East Coast with a well facilitated sea port in Mombasa. Read more about Kenya and the event statistics in pages linked with the words..
