CeBIT Hannover
March 3 - 8, 2009
Digital solutions for work and life
The world's leading event for Information Technology, Telecommunications, Software and Services.
CeBIT is considered the industry's top event, functioning as a mirror on the market on both the supply and demand side. No other trade fair attracts so many attendees with concrete investment plans or such a large number of investment decision-makers from all over the world. No other trade fair offers you the same business potential, both in terms of quality and quantity, since CeBIT is the place where you can make direct contact with customers, decision-makers, your competitors and the world market as a whole.
The exhibitors' overwhelmingly positive assessment of this year's CeBIT is due in large measure to the marked increase in the number of trade visitors with decision-making authority. CeBIT 2007 attracted 379,000 trade visitors, up 14,000 over the previous year.
Surveys revealed that one of the largest groups of visitors - over 35,000 in total - consisted of specialists from the manufacturing industries, including the automotive industry and plant and mechanical engineering. With a record-breaking 34-percent increase in attendance, the "CeBIT SME Forum" also proved a strong magnet, attracting more than 6,000 entrepreneurs who were intent on discovering the best SME solutions and doing some B2B networking.
