Focus: "The Singapore and ASEAN markets have enormous growth potential in the interactive and digital media space and EON’s solutions offer a strategic fit. EON’s solutions will not only help to accelerate the widespread use of interactive 3D lessons in classrooms but also propel more companies in this region to introduce revolutionary applications to increase sales, enhance marketing and reduce cost of training and maintenance as product life cycle shortens,” said Vincent Ong, the Managing Director of IM Innovations
