Initial Focus on Asian, European and Latin American Technology Sectors

San Jose, CA - November 25, 2003 - Silicon Valley Research Group Inc. (www.siliconvalleyrg.com), a premiere marketing research and strategy development firm for technology products and services, today announced the immediate expansion of its research and marketing strategy services to technology company clients operating in international markets.

Since its founding in 1994, Silicon Valley Research Group Inc. has successfully served the North American market research needs of many companies, including Fortune 500 clients. Recently, the company came to recognize that in addition to being able to serve the needs of its current North American clients who operate or sell products overseas, the added focus on markets in Asia, Europe and Latin America would give Silicon Valley Research Group Inc. the opportunity to serve new clients based in those areas.

As part of its international expansion plans, Silicon Valley Research Group Inc. has appointed two new managers. Anant Bhattacharya has been named manager for Asian research, and David Thompson as manager for European and Latin American research. Al Nazarelli, President and CEO of Silicon Valley Research Group Inc., called the international expansion a natural business progression for the ten-year-old company.

"We have already been serving international market research needs for some of our U.S. based clients and have also worked with companies in countries as far away as Israel and Singapore”, said Nazarelli. We believe the added international focus brought by our newly appointed research managers will improve our ability to serve current clients and gain new ones in those markets."
