🇯🇵Our Business Development Director Japan, Edi Liss, returned from IJK Kobe with encouraging insights from the show floor.
For the first time in years, the halls were truly full, strong exhibitor presence, and real energy throughout the exhibition, a clear contrast to last year. In discussions with the organizers, one theme stood out: China. Chinese participation increased significantly this year, with more exhibitors, stronger trading activity, and growing online sales to international customers alongside the show.
One of the most discussed sessions focused on natural diamonds vs. LGD. Despite the ongoing debate, the sentiment at the show remained clearly supportive of natural diamonds.
Most importantly, it was great meeting partners, exhibitors, and visitors, and discussing new opportunities on ongoing and future collaborations.
