 EXCO
will march on |
|
Like other past years, EXCO did
all it could do this year to help shape better future
of Daegu. We organized and hosted trade shows to boost
local economy. We contributed to the broader awareness
of sustainable growth by hosting Solar Cities Congress.
We provided the people with opportunities to experience
and to take the importance of fire safety more seriously.
Motorcycle show, textile machinery show, cyber
game show and other unique events held at EXCO lately
were some results of our exploration for the better
and prosperous future for all.
We kept on our bold pace in the face of many challenges
this year, as we did before and as we will do in
the future.
We still have some more high profile events ahead.
Daegu International Optical Show (DIOPS), Daegu
International Automatic Machinery & Tools Exhibition
(DAMEX 2004), and Solar Cities Congress & Green
Energy EXPO will upgrade EXCO? image and capability.
We EXCO people know that no easy road lies ahead
of us. But we do not intend to stop our steps. We
believe that every time we cross a trouble water
we are getting stronger. With this belief in mind,
we will keep go on next year and further.
