Expertise for sophisticated markets 

The regions in which we operate are characterized by dynamic market development – often accompanied by growing demand for innovative and sustainable solutions. In Central Asia, for example, many newly established, vertically integrated agricultural holdings have significantly expanded their cultivation areas and yields per hectare in recent years, leading to increased demand for efficient harvesting, storage, and processing technologies.

In the markets of India, China, and Southeast Asia, urbanization is driving demand for more efficient cultivation methods and modern food production processes.

The airport sector, in turn, is being propelled by the rapidly growing middle class in the metropolitan areas of India, Southeast Asia, and the Gulf region. Expanding economies and increasing tourism are boosting passenger numbers – ultimately resulting in numerous new airport expansion and construction projects.

We are highly familiar with both local trade fair partners and the structures of the relevant sectors, enabling us to offer exhibitors real added value in market development – beyond simply booking and managing their trade fair stands.
