SIG Member Meet China 1

To foster growth and innovation throughout the Bluetooth® market and industry ecosystem across Greater China, Ken Kolderup, chief marketing officer of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), spearheaded a cross-border initiative. In April, he led a joint team from the US and Greater China on a visit to 15 prominent member companies in HsinChu, Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Beijing in the Greater China region. The discussions focused on sharing insights and collaborative strategies to enhance Bluetooth technology development and expand market presence in the region.

Since 1998, the Bluetooth SIG has been facilitating collaboration between leading companies from around the world to enhance Bluetooth technology and create entirely new markets. Every year, over five billion Bluetooth products are shipped worldwide, products that make our lives more productive, safe, and joyful.

Greater China has consistently been a crucial market for the Bluetooth SIG. Over 20 percent of its member companies are headquartered in Greater China, and those companies are responsible for over 30 percent of new Bluetooth products that come to market each year.

As part of an ongoing organizational initiative to strengthen engagement with local member companies, the Bluetooth SIG team embarked on a two-week journey from 15-26 April, visiting 15 key players including Airoha, Barrot, BES, Bluetrum, Espressif, Harman, Huawei, Jieli Technology, Lenovo, MediaTek, OPPO, Realtek, TCL, Telink, and Xiaomi.
