The world under one roof
Welcome to the September issue of EuroWire,
compiled during the heat of the summer
but with an eye to the autumn. Well, when
I say heat I mean the occasional glint of
sunshine through rain clouds; much of the
UK has toiled under a damp, grey start to the
holiday season.
However, let’s look beyond the domestic and
raise our eyes to the East.
This year, China is playing host to two
notable events. By the time this magazine
lands in readers’ hands the first event will be
over, but many of our readers will be eagerly
anticipating the second.
The two events are of quite different orders
of magnitude. The first, the Olympic Games,
is aworld sporting event that brings together
sportsmen and women in a spirit of friendly
competition, bound by a common passion
and mutual focus.
The second, wire China 2008, is a rather
smaller affair that probably won’t make it to
either the front or back pages of any national
newspaper, but it’s an important event to
readers of this journal and within the wire
and cable sector across the world.
The Olympic Games at one extreme, wire
China at the other, but both bringing
nations together under one roof in a spirit of
competition, cooperation and discovery.
This issue includes a list of confirmed
exhibitors. It’s not intended to replace the
wire China catalogue, but we thought that
visitors and non-visitors would be interested
to see who will be there. It’s an interesting
mix, with exhibitors from Taiwan to Turkey,
India to Italy, Ukraine to the USA.
wire China will represent a world industry
willing to talk and work together regardless
of cultural, religious and political differences.
Maybe it doesn’t have the glamour of the
Olympics but it is cooperation, and through
cooperation comes understanding on both
sides.
Perhaps where sport and industry lead, hearts
andminds can follow.
