ICT products, like mobile solutions, the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud services were featured at a special exhibition. Thirty-one businesses in related fields, meanwhile, held one-on-one talks with some 300 buyers from Britain and other European countries, such as British Telecom and Tesco.
Ten major broadcasting networks had the chance to build networks with their British counterparts like BBC News. The talks led to the signing of several MOUs, including agreements to produce joint projects with Pioneer Europe and Discovery.
