BUSWORLD SOUTH EAST ASIA 2019 – ASEAN’s largest gathering for bus & coach platforms and the first of its kind for the global Busworld group – takes place soon from March 20 – 22, at Jakarta International Expo (JIEXPO) Kemayoran, Jakarta, Indonesia.
Described as a perfect place for an exhibition in a venue built to international standards, this event is an exclusive marketplace and a unique opportunity to network, learn and source new technology, launch/promote new products and also an ideal platform to find more technologies and services from the bus and coach industry, organisers state.
Busworld is the world’s largest B2B exhibition for the bus and coach industry, exhibiting buses, coaches and minibuses, as well as parts, components and services.
The first Busworld exhibition took place 46 years ago in the city of Kortrijk, Belgium, in 1971 and Busworld South East Asia is the 7th exhibition on the current Busworld calendar next to Turkey, India, Russia, China, Central Asia and Latin America.
During every exhibition, Busworld Academy – Busworld’s knowledge platform – organises seminars to connect the local industry with Busworld’s international network of specialised experts, it states.
