The event will feature executive-led discussions on topics including: the changing landscape of hi-tech manufacturing, maximising opportunities in developing economies, supply chain talent development, supplier sourcing and management, among other topics.

The meeting comes as hi-tech companies examine new and rapidly changing opportunities across the Asia-Pacific region, with many companies looking beyond traditional manufacturing spheres to potential opportunities in more recently developing countries.

In addition, hi-tech companies are eager to maximise business growth opportunities in emerging economies, necessitating dramatic supply chain developments in many cases.
