Exhibitors using Expo Mongolia as a networking platform were able to forge relationships with local industry players, stakeholders and governmental institutions to enlarge their business in the resource rich country. Mongolia is a key future market for European and Asian countries.

German companies had the chance to attend the show with the support of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy and of the VDMA, the largest engineering associations worldwide. In total, 35 companies used this opportunity to make a step into the Mongolian market. The high European interest was also demonstrated through the official participation of the Czech Republic. For the first time, the Czech Embassy in Mongolia and the trade agency Czech Trade organized a national pavilion, with five exhibitors in attendance to mark their inaugural year.
