I am happy that BEX Asia has provided a platform for companies and visitors to be equipped with the dynamics to capitalize on the green evolution and embrace sustainable communities for a better future,” said Louise Chua, Business Development Director and Project Director, Reed Exhibitions, organizer of BEX Asia 2014.
