From construction to cars: ‘Build, Build, Build’ Program set to thrive at MIAS 2018

MANILA, Philippines — Time and again, Worldbex Services International (WSI) — the country’s biggest events and expositions organizer — has proven its capacity to stimulate economic productivity with the recently concluded WORLDBEX 2018.

Just like in the past, this year’s installment has broken new ground as it welcomed close to 180,000 visitors — transcending last year’s visitor count of 170,000.

As the country’s biggest construction event draws closer to its Silver Anniversary, attendees and exhibitors alike significantly benefited from the dynamic B2B opportunities that unfolded during the widely successful trade event — a complement to the ongoing “Build, Build, Build” Program of the current administration.

The Manila International Auto Show returns on April 5 to 8, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., at the World Trade Center Metro Manila (WTCMM), WTCMM Northwing, and the Philippine Trade Training Center. Released

Drawing from the same objective, WSI picks up the pace in realizing vast economic possibilities. It gears up to deliver another trade event that aims to augment the country’s infrastructure development.

‘Work & Play’ theme

Hailed as the biggest and most awaited car show in the country, the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) returns on April 5 to 8, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., at the World Trade Center Metro Manila (WTCMM), WTCMM Northwing, and the Philippine Trade Training Center.

Fueling the direction for this year’s MIAS is its strong intent to focus on the dual nature of today’s vehicles. Through the theme of “Work & Play,” MIAS 2018 will showcase a wide array of cars and other automotive innovations that will elevate not only the way people travel but also, the way companies do business.

From passenger cars that can double as Transport Network Vehicle Services, to commercial vehicles that bear features as luxurious as executive sedans, MIAS 2018 will highlight the multi-functionality and flexibility of today’s vehicles. This is attested by the fact that around 40 percent of this year’s exhibitors primarily deal with commercial vehicles.

Highlights this year

To date, MIAS has noted a 38-percent increase on its exhibiting companies and a whopping 60-percent increase on the anticipated car and motorcycle displays, which is in part a result of the 16-percent increase in venue of this year’s show.

Apart from more than 200 exhibiting companies and over 400 car and motorcycle displays, MIAS is also thrilled to announce a new addition to its roster of event highlights: the Truck Pavilion, which will be located at the WTCMM Northwing.

Attendees can also expect a high percentage of commercial vehicles on display at this year’s show.

Among the must-see exhibitors at MIAS 2018 is FOTON, an international automotive company that designs and manufactures trucks, buses, sport utility vehicles and even agricultural machinery. It is set to unveil the FOTON Tornado C, a Cummins-powered light duty transport vehicle best suitable for construction businesses.

Bridging the gap

MIAS 2018 is expected to bridge the gap between various industries by providing business owners and investors with an extensive access to the world’s leading automotive brands. It also serves to open up the possibilities for automotive companies to foster connections across other sectors.

Indeed, the optimistic and ambitious “Build, Build, Build” Program finds a fitting platform in MIAS 2018.

Now on its 14th year, MIAS remains to be the most significant automotive event in the country for car enthusiasts and industry players alike! MIAS 2018 invites everyone to take part in a different kind of automotive experience; one wherein the boundaries between leisure and progress collide to create a never-before-seen spectacle of automotive evolution.
