Mr. Wolfgang Pech, Sr. Vice President, Deutsche Messe AG, Germany stated, “I am delighted to note we have an ideal B2B platform in Bangalore, one of the fastest growing global cities today, making it a very valuable experience for the attendees and exhibitors.  The five shows complementing each other and showcasing a wide range of products and services will be a unique opportunity for user industries to gain insight into new technologies and meet the suppliers.”

Sudhir Patil, Managing Director, Hannover Milano Fairs India (HMFI), stated, “The joint presentation of these five fairs has a major advantage for exhibitors and visitors.  Exhibitors can find their potential customers among the participants of other shows taking place under the same roof. On the other hand the visitors have an opportunity to see integrated technologies in a single visit. This synergy effect is a well proven concept at the world renowned Hannover Messe”.
