The November road show was organized in the wake of earlier, very successful business matching events for Belgian diamond firms that took place – under the  banner of ACTYF, an interest group of Antwerp diamond firms – in 2011 and 2012, in Shenzhen and Shanghai. During 2013, Blommaert also organized several successful ACTYF missions to Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and China which were highly successful.
“For the November 2013 event, however, we decided to open up the registration for companies from Israel and India as well. And the partners in DiamondRoadShows.com are already working on several, new opportunities around the globe for 2014!” Blommaert stated.
The participating companies were: Dharmdiam; Chintamani; Rosy Blue; Supergems; Kiran, Mansan Diamonds; Yaelstar – J.B. and Bros.; Leo Schachter Diamonds; Novel Collection; Shlomo Bichachi

The participating companies participated in a series of intensive B2B diamond business matching and networking meetings in three of China’s southern mega cities: Shenzhen, Chengdu and Hangzhou. “The gem and jewelry markets in these cities are growing in double digit percentages year after year and this was a very good opportunity for the participating diamond companies to get a foot in the door,” Blommaert said.
