8 Exhibitor s Comment 9 th Japan IT Week Autumn attracted a variety of exhibitors on the entire IT industry. Here are some feedbacks from the international exhibitors. We also exhibited at Japan IT Week Spring held in May 2018 and we decided to exhibit Japan IT Week Autumn 2018 as well since we found it valuable to exhibit in a row. As an outcome of Japan IT Week Spring, we received trial orders of 2 monitors (32/72 inches), and we expect it to lead to bigger business. We are happy getting 50 prospect customers though Autumn show, and we will come back with a bigger booth next year. Ryan Ma, President - FAYTECH TECH.CO., LTD. (China) Our goal to exhibit was to look for business partners in Japan and to research for Japanese market. As an outcome, we had 5-6 concrete business talks per day with companies not only from Japan but also from other countries such as India and Lithuania. We also found a high potential business partner and were happy with the outcome. For sure, we are willing to exhibit again at the next show. Krzysztof Tomczak, Senior Consultant - Makigami Systems (Poland) We decided to exhibit at Japan IT Week Autumn to look for prospect customers in Japan since we had just opened Japanese branch in this July. We got more than 90 leads in total and that was beyond our expectations. We were also surprised that an executive of listed company came to our booth and got interested in our products. For further market expansion in Japan, we would keep contact with 2 companies which could be our prospective customers after the show. Takehito Watanabe, Country Manager - TUFIN (Israel) We exhibited together with five companies forming an India pavilion supported by ESC and MSME. We found Japan IT Week Autumn beneficial since we got to deepen our knowledge about Japanese IT market in addition to getting some prospective customers. We are certain to achieve at least one customer through the show, and we plan to set up our office in Japan in near future. Shaiju Kumar G, Director - TOSIL SYSTEMS (India) 8

9 Visitor s Voice We are so impressed to witness the whole IT value chain at the Japan IT Week Autumn. We are convinced when looking for IT collaboration opportunities to cover the Asia-Pacific Market, Japan IT Week should be among the top list. Huang Tian, Director of Marketing Dalian Economic Cooperation and Service Center All the shows and seminars are organized very well and we so much enjoyed. As a foreign visitor, communication with the exhibitors was not a problem since most of the exhibitors were fluent in English. I hope to visit Japan IT Week shows again in the near future. Munkhbaatar Mendbayar, Senior IT & Automation Specialist Erdenet Mining Corporation The exhibition and the conference were very attractive and amazing. All of us felt very excited and enjoyed the exhibition very much! Eliza Ng, Director of Human Resources Fuji Xerox (Hong Kong) Limited 9
