Traditional Medicine is making a strong comeback, especially amongst the younger generation who are increasingly viewing it as complementary to Western medicine.

Against the backdrop of this burgeoning industry, Singapore will play host to the second Traditional Medicine Expo this year. Following the success of last year’s inaugural event which featured 90 exhibitors and close to 7,181 local and foreign trade visitors, TMExpo 2010 looks set to reprise its instrumental role in accelerating the modernization of Traditional Medicine and strengthening regional cooperation. TMExpo 2010 will also play an integral role in educating consumers and cultivating their interest in Traditional Medicine.

The strong support we received from various organisations including government bodies such as International Enterprise Singapore, Ministry of Health, SPRING Singapore and the Singapore Tourism Board as well as our sponsors was instrumental in the success of last year’s event. I hence look forward to the continued support of these organisations once again this year.

With the exciting line-up of activities planned including several new elements such as the Marketing Trends Workshops and the Innovation Seminars, I am confident that we will see both familiar faces as well as new exhibitors and visitors at Traditional Medicine Expo 2010. I look forward to meeting all of you at the event.
