About Smartex
Smartex was established in 1993, and since then has developed a world-leading group of membership-based associations for organisations and individuals working in the smart technology sector. Smartex brings together the community of suppliers, users and potential users, to share knowledge and increase awareness of each sector’s successes, challenges and potential direction and pace.
As a member of Smartex, you and your company will be part of this community and will have the opportunity to meet your industry peers and – if you are a service provider – prospective customers, regularly and informally.
