Singapore Jewellery & Gem Fair 2013

Riding the wave of steady growth in Asia's economy, UBM Asia will launch the first edition of Singapore Jewellery & Gem Fair in October 2013.

Asia is growing at unprecedented pace and this brings about abundant opportunities for jewellery trade. Nestled in the heart of Asia, Singapore presents tremendous business opportunities for jewellers to position their products to capture consumer demand in Southeast Asia. The Singapore Jewellery & Gem Fair, which will be held from 12 to 15 October 2013 at Marina Bay Sands, is therefore a great opportunity to tap into this robust market as well as the rest of the Southeast Asian region.

While UBM Asia already organises jewellery fairs in Hong Kong, mainland China, India and Japan, the addition of the fair in Singapore means the company now offers business trading platforms in all of Asia's major markets. Potential exhibitors and visitors polled believe the Singapore Jewellery & Gem Fair and its October schedule will provide new business opportunities for them to tap into the robust Asian market all year round.

The Jewellery & Gem Fair -- JGF Europe 2014 in Germany

In cooperation with UBM Live, UBM Asia's sister company in Europe, UBM Asia will expand its global jewellery fairs portfolio to Europe with the launch of Jewellery & Gem Fair -- Europe, or "JGF Europe", in April 2014 in Freiburg, Germany.

JGF Europe, which will be held at the Messe Freiburg, is positioned as a high-efficiency, high-level face-to-face jewellery business platform aimed at creating real business value for international suppliers and buyers.

Freiburg is a city in southwest Germany and is conveniently accessible by car or by public transportation from major jewellery trading hubs such as Antwerp, Basel, Geneva, Paris, Pforzheim and Vicenza. JGF Europe will be held around the same time as Basel World in 2014. Being just 30 minutes away from Basel, buyers can easily visit two European fairs in one trip. Backed by UBM Asia's powerful database and intensive promotion in the industry, JGF Europe will provide a comprehensive trade fair featuring quality exhibitors showcasing a wide array of jewellery products and serving all of Europe.
