First edition of Singapore International Stone, Marble and Ceramic Show Platform to provide networking opportunities, industry insights and expert discussions on the marble and stone sectors.

TRANSFORMING A SMALL island into a great economy with its stable, political and economic structure, trusted service sector and wide trade, Singapore is the focal point of international trade in Asia-Pacific region. With its strong economic and commercial connections to the regional countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Hong Kong, India, Thailand, Taiwan in addition to USA, Japan and EU countries, Singapore offers remarkable business potential to industry professionals, key buyers and decision makers. Singapore is also a master country with its liberal trade policies. The network of free trade agreements and regional integrations connects this country to developed economies and new markets. According to the Global Business Feasibility Index, periodically published by the World Bank and IFC, Singapore ranks number one in 2014. Having three times bigger foreign trade volume than its GDP, Singapore exports almost half of its importation via reexport system, especially to the countries in the region.
The first edition of Singapore International Stone, Marble and Ceramic Show will be held from 8-11 December, 2015. Singapore International Stone, Marble and Ceramic Show offers a good balance between networking opportunities, industry insights and expert discussions with significant participants and visitors. This spectacular exhibition is a platform to enable companies to expand their business
in the marble and stone sectors in Singapore. The use of natural stones as construction and decoration material worldwide has led to an increase in the production of natural stone.
The increase, especially in the last ten years, has parallels with the development of processing and advancing technologies. Investment by private sector is essential in order to meet the demand of Singapore’ s constituents in the near and long term, to balance supply and demand. In this regard, we are confident that International Stone,
Marble and Ceramic Show will fulfill the needs and soon become one of the biggest international exhibitions in the Asia-Pacific region.
Expected to attract large amounts of visitors, the four-day exhibition will take place at Singapore EXPO Convention and Exhibition Centre for its debut.
