On 7-12 of April 2003 in Hannover took place the industrial exhibition. It is the biggest world universal fair.
The main directions on the fair are the following: Factory Automation; MicroTechnology; Motion, Drive&Automation; Energy; Compressed Air&Vacuum Technology; Factory Equipment&Tools; Subcontracting; Research&Technology. The last direction was placed in the hall 18 as usually.
In this hall was represented the collective stand of the Committee for Science and Technologies of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus. Here their developments have demonstrated representatives of the Ministry of Education and National Academy of Sciences. The big part of the hall occupied the range of German organizations, which worked in the framework of association "Tech Transfer". For example, the research center of Julich has represented the innovation Internet-platform, which was oriented on providing of real technological transfer into production. In the stand of the Julich center worked the Belarusian Interuniversity Center of Marketing. It represented the joint work in the area of technological transfer's support, as well as results of some projects with participation of German and Belarusian organizations.
The first impression about the fair is following: it mirrors exactly all the processes taking place in the modern economy development. Economic recession in Europe caused the reduction of amount of fair visitors and absence of garish advertising in the city. For example, the day before opening in Hanover it was fast impossible to notice some preparations to the starting for tomorrow fair. By negotiations the pragmatism of participants was remarkable, their business-like manner and concreteness. A lot of businessmen mentioned the reduction of buying activity.
