In the real jungle, the world is still OK, at least this is the hope many conservationists have. Whether the shoe fashion jungle is intact and alive, buyers of all shoe retailers had the chance to examine at the trade fair GDS in Düsseldorf. Rumble in the Jungle, a trend motto in the halls, and this also seems to be the reality: business is rumbling and booming mightily.
One thing is for sure - everyone needs to eat and drink. A fact that lets the food producers have a certain degree of security. Approximately 1200 Companies came to Düsseldorf with this sense of security to visit the food fairs InterMeat, InterCool and InterMopro, and the hotel and gastronomy fair hogatec. The upturn in the German economy - the organizers know this on the last day of the fair - has not yet arrived. But: some signs of recovery are evident.
Can caravans swim? Do captains work in a police station? How does a 16 year old manage to sail around the world in 210 days – all by herself?
All questions about water sports will probably never be answered, but curious visitors have the best chance to get answers to many questions at the world's largest water sports trade fair, the boot in Düsseldorf.
Not many people are really able to keep things under tight wraps. Certainly, many a jailbird might be able to or the occasional secret agent perhaps, but at the latest when it comes to grandpas and grandmas, best friends or any typical gossips, information leaks are everywhere. Even in Hillary Clinton’s administration, much to the enjoyment of Wikileaks. However, in Düsseldorf a branch of trade is currently presenting leak-free products, guaranteed for 50 years. If only everyone were able to do what the valves on display at the Valve World Expo are capable of.
If you write, work as a photographer, print or work in the publishing industry in any way you probably have one specific wish: large circulation with minor costs. The product should reach the right target group, overproduction and senseless shipping should be avoided – everything unnecessary is just a burden for the budget. If the aim is not to be published in a magazine then you should pay the trade fair digi:media in Düsseldorf a visit. The trade fair for digital supported publications was a great success at its debut.
Tools are supposed to make normal life easier, at least that is how it should be. People with disabilities, however, are dependant on such tools in order to be able to live their lives in a normal way. Ten percent of the Germans live with a recognized disability - for these people - and for their families and carers - the fair RehaCare in Düsseldorf offers an array of already known devices - and some new ones are of course presented as well.
How to fry one hundred sausages in an hour? Or how to make my restaurant
booking in the future? The answers to questions like these can be found at
the Hogatec fair in Düsseldorf. Every other year representatives from the
world of gastronomy and hotel sector present the latest industry trends and
developments. Crucially, the issue of interior design figures prominently in
these presentations
Each year in Germany between 400 and 550 people fall victim to fires. Interestingly, in most cases the actual cause of death is not the blaze itself but smoke inhalation. Two minutes of exposure to thick smoke can result in such serious lung damage that oxygen no longer reaches vital organs in sufficient quantities. Now a new mobile heart-lung machine might help to save lives in situations like these.
In spite of the credit crunch and a looming recession specialist trade show MEDICA is going from strength to strength. The show lured visitors with innovations and a broad-based general exhibition programme. As a result close to 140.000 people flocked to the fair in Düsseldorf. Nearly half of them came from abroad.
Large offset rollers and type cases are sometimes no longer part of the inventory of even the largest newspaper printing plants. Through the constant increasing possibilities digital printing has revolutionized the printing industry, which was declared dead a few years ago. But only newspaper, only print - a publishing house cannot be structured this one-sided in today’s world. At least one iPhone app or additional internet supplemental offering has to be provided. And even book printing offices have to admit: digital intervention in a centuries-old process present amazing opportunities.
Almost every market around the world is shrinking at the moment, and so is the medical sector. According to the Federal Statistics Office in the first half of 2009 the German exports were down 2.5 percent, the largest market for exports still remains the United States. However the import market in Germany has managed to become stronger. The statisticians have recorded a 6 per cent gain in imports especially from the USA, Switzerland and Japan. Germany is therefore a highly competitive market in the global medical industry - the medical trade fair MEDICA in Duesseldorf has become the most important platform for manufacturers and customers.
The interesting part can be found inside! Actually, this is not entirely true anymore, because packaging has reached a high-tech level for some time now. Now it can even speak. But apart from that the wrapping-industry has been developing in many directions: packaging has to be ecological, well legible, act as advertising space and of course, if nothing else, also be nice-looking. In any case, the trade fair interpack in Düsseldorf is the place to be when it comes to packaging.
