HANOVER, Germany, April 18, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- The German federal state of Saxony warmly welcomes all participants and visitors to the Hanover Fair 2006 and invites them to come and experience the Saxon state of mind. The Saxony Economic Development Corporation is committed to catching the attention of companies from India wanting to expand in Europe. Flashy slogans and empty promises are not enough -- that's why the corporation would welcome the chance to tell Indian companies more about the opportunities awaiting them in Saxony. The Saxons will hold an Expert Forum where Indian companies may obtain relevant information from cluster specialists and executive staff on how to get in touch with engineering companies in Saxony.
Date: April 24, 2006 Time: 16:00 to 17:30 Venue: Global Business Forum at Hall 6, Booth E57 (next to the Indian booth)
Located in the eastern part of Germany -- at the crossroads of Europe -- Saxony represents the best the continent has to offer for businesses wanting to succeed. The quality of life, from stunning natural landscapes to the historic skylines of culture-rich cities, beckons visitors from around the globe. But the real treasure is the people themselves. From hard work and innovative thinking, to that uniquely Saxon zest for life: it is indeed little wonder why so many global companies have chosen to come to Saxony and stay.
Many places in Europe and the world boast about their high tech, but Saxony leads the bunch in fostering an innovative habitat for companies. Important players are on board in wanting to attract and keep companies from places such as India. The technologies of the future are being developed and produced in a number of branches today, and the region is always open to new additions. Saxony is especially strong in these fields: Mobility, Microelectronics, Mechanical Engineering, Life Sciences, Technical Textiles.
Saxony is home to several "Centers of Excellence" that foster cooperation and constructive collaboration among businesses, R&D and institutes of higher education in key industries. Among the advantages of these existing networks is an unparalleled high-quality labour pool. When industry, government and education are on the same page, as they are in Saxony, the possibilities for other companies are virtually limitless.
