In addition, Jaarbeurs, through its stake in VNU Exhibitions Asia Ltd, is active in China. Following a strategic reorientation, the management of Jaarbeurs announces that it will sell its 70% stake in VNU Exhibitions Asia Ltd (VNU EA) in China as of 1 February 2024 to Advent International; one of the larger players in the global private equity sector. From Jaarbeurs in Utrecht and VNU Exhibitions Asia Pacific in Bangkok, Jaarbeurs will continue to develop, organise and facilitate events nationally and internationally.
Jeroen van Hooff, CEO Royal Jaarbeurs: "The market in Asia is promising. We bring our (inter)national events to Asia and bring interesting Asian titles to the European market. With its own office in Bangkok, Jaarbeurs is the 'gateway to Asia' with destinations such as Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, United Arab Emirates and Turkey. The sale of VNU EA in China gives us the opportunity to position ourselves more strongly both in the Netherlands and internationally outside China." Van Hooff continues: "For decades, VNU EA's local management team, led by David Zhong, has organised many successful events in China such as Domotex Asia, R+T Asia and Pet Fair Asia. This has made VNU EA a distinctive player in the events industry in China. With the arrival of Advent International as a new shareholder, there is a basis for VNU EA to strengthen its position even further. Given that Royal Jaarbeurs and VNU EA will continue to jointly organise the VIV Select China and Pet Fair South East Asia events, we confidently look forward to the cooperation with Advent."
