| Over the past few years, the number of overseas exhibitors and visitors
has expanded continuously (this year, the number of foreign exhibitors
saw an increase of 13.7% as compared to the previous year), making
ENVEX the largest exhibition for the environmental sector in Korea.
This year, 262 exhibitors from thirteen countries (Korea, Japan, Germany,
the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, USA, Canada, Australia,
Spain and the Ukraine), participated in ENVEX, up from 226 exhibitors
in 2001. Due to the Worldcup craze that coincided with ENVEX 2002,
the number of visitors was down to about 31,000 people from 38,068
in 2001. |
