Events associated with the HANNOVER FAIR -The world’s biggest forum on the future

In a class of its own: with top international speakers from business, politics and science and an exclusive supporting program consisting of special events, workshops, forums, congresses and presentations with close to 1000 talks and lectures, the HANNOVER FAIR is once again the world’s biggest forum for industrial knowledge and business know-how. Hence the motto: “One place to be”.

This year for the first time we are offering a series of events aimed at specific target groups and industrial sectors in the shape of the

Theme Days and Industry Days.

These special events are condensed into one or two days at most. The themes covered are listed here. A more detailed program, which allows you to draw up your own schedule tailored to your particular interests, can be found on the Internet at www.hannovermesse.de/veranstaltungen under “Theme Days and Industry Days” and “Global Business Days” – the platform for international business relations and joint ventures”.

Here you will also find regular updates on any new additions to the program – your guide to the whole of the HANNOVER FAIR and its 11 leading trade shows.

NEW:

At www.hannovermesse.de/suche we have set up an additional search facility for you, which allows you not only to find specific information about individual trade shows, but also to select events according to target groups and industry sectors. So you’ll be able to find all the events that might be of particular interest to you – at any time throughout the Fair.

Graduate mechanical engineers and curriculum reform: Too important to get it wrong!

The system of training for engineers is currently undergoing far-reaching reform. The existing diploma study courses are due to be replaced by Bachelor’s and Master’s degree courses by the year 2010. In planning these new courses a number of key questions have to be addressed:

� What are the specific requirements of firms in the mechanical and plant engineering sector? What kind of skills will future generations of engineers be expected to offer?

� How can those requirements be satisfied in any new engineering syllabus?

� What basic conditions are necessary in order to maintain and develop the high standard of engineering studies in Germany?

These and other questions will be discussed by business leaders, senior politicians and academics on the basis of the findings of a recent study which examined the quality of engineering training.

Program: 4.15 - 4.20 p.m. Welcoming address Rudolf Schulze, editor of VDI nachrichten

Safety engineering for process automation

Industrial processing involves risks that must be minimized through the use of automation. So-called Safety Instrumented Systems as specified in standards IEC 61508/61511 are challenging to implement, but they also open up new possibilities in risk assessment. The ability of users to master these new systems depends on the quality of data provision by system manufacturers.

Human-machine interaction 2005Hall 2, Stand C14Monday, 11 April to Friday, 15 April 2005

The subject of human-machine interaction encompasses the use of automated systems that have now found their way into virtually every area of our lives – at home, at work, and everywhere in between. Yesterday’s pipe dreams – infotainment systems in our cars, intelligent refrigerators, e-learning and telemedicine – are today’s familiar reality. Particularly in areas that rely on large numbers of automated processes, such as the transport sector or production engineering, poor communication between human operator and machine can have serious consequences.The HMI presentation for 2005 features selected exhibits that document the work of industrial and academic research teams.

Meeting point for international business contacts and joint venturesGlobal Business Forum and matchmaking forum, in association with the European Commission

In the last few years the Global Business Forum has emerged as a focal point for the development of international business contacts. The Global Business Forum is a winning combination of exhibition, lecture forum and organized contact centre plus matchmaking platform.

The core themes of the exhibition:Concepts and services for establishing a long-term presence in foreign markets. Joint ventures, production, purchasing / procurement, logistics, quality assurance, knowledge transfer, consulting, project development, financing.

The lecture forumThese lectures and presentations are a valuable source of information and practical knowledge for the development of international business contacts and joint ventures. The lecture program puts the spotlight on lucrative markets such as Eastern Europe, Russia and China. The Wednesday of the Fair is set aside for the international Buyers’ Symposium.

New matchmaking platform – joint ventures are your gateway to new markets and foreign sales opportunities.

Exhibitors and visitors will benefit for the first time from a new matchmaking platform at the HANNOVER FAIR, which is being organized in conjunction with the Euro Info Centres (EIC) in Stuttgart, Luxembourg and Berlin, as well as through the European network of EIC consulting centres, as part of the project “b2fair – European Business Cooperation” promoted by the European Commission.

Working in conjunction with the network of the European Commission, the HANNOVER FAIR brings exhibitors and visitors together at the show to discuss concrete cooperation projects.

When clients register with the matchmaking platform, they describe the type of contacts they are looking for in the area of foreign trade and international collaborations. On the basis of this information the teams at the EICs and the HANNOVER FAIR then put together precise profiles of possible partners for interested exhibitors and visitors. In the run-up to the HANNOVER FAIR appointments are made for exhibitors and visitors to meet their “possibles” at the show for one-on-one talks.

Doing Business in Libya

In parallel with the opening-up of the country since the start of 2004, a comprehensive program of national economic reform has been set in motion in Libya. Because of its oil and gas reserves, the country has very substantial financial resources – and it lies on Europe’s doorstep.The changes that are taking place, both internally and externally, are opening up new opportunities for foreign firms operating in Libya, as well as for other firms that are planning to return to the country or to gain a first-time foothold in the Libyan market. In short, the international business world is heading for Libya in droves. In the past many German companies were also successfully engaged in key sectors of the Libyan economy, including the oil and gas industry and commerce. The current need to modernize in nearly all sections of the economy creates good opportunities for German companies, including newcomers to the market, especially since Germany enjoys an excellent reputation as an economic partner.
