"We are keen to support business to business events which encourage companies to network and do business together and BEX 2002 is one such event that aims to provide business and networking opportunities for companies wishing to connect with other like-minded companies."

The event, being put together by the organisers of last year's International Finance and Enterprise Week, also involves more than 100 exhibitors and a seminar programme with keynote speeches.
