Lyss, 08 October 2009. Market opportunities, success factors as well as current trends and innovations in the PV industry are the themes for decision-makers from business, public life and science who will be meeting from 14th to 15th October in Hong Kong. With the first international conference under the title of "World of Photovoltaics", the 3S Group will be moving further forward and celebrating the 25th birthday of its subsidiary Pasan.

3S is organising the event together with the Hong Kong Electronics Industries Association, the Hong Kong Science & Technology Park, InvestHK, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, Messe München International and the TÜV. Together, the organisers will be promoting the strengthening and expansion of the solar industry in the Asian region. Successful module producers from the region, experienced photovoltaic experts and government representatives will spend the two days describing the perspectives and opportunities for solar companies in the region. What global market developments are currently becoming clear for the solar industry? How do companies become successful players in the Asian solar industry? Which factors are decisive in the measurement of cells and modules in order to guarantee the performance? These and other questions will be at the centre of presentations and discussions in the course of the two-day conference.

The event will take place as part of the "Electronic Asia 2009" fair at which, from 13th to 16th October and under the motto of "World of Solar", numerous companies from the solar industry will be presenting themselves.
