International Forum to be Held at ALUMINIUM 2014

From 7 to 9 October, more than 50 nations will represent the entire world of aluminium at ALUMINIUM 2014 in Düsseldorf. With more than 950 exhibitors and as many as 21,500 visitors at the last event – some 50% of them from outside Germany – the World Fair provides the most comprehensive overview of the industry and emerging markets. The trade fair’s new “International Forum” will put the spotlight on two of them: China and India. Held for the first time, the lecture forum in Hall 13 will serve as an information exchange for both German and international companies interested in expanding their activities abroad.

How do the Chinese and Indian markets function? What opportunities and risks await European companies when launching there? How best to prepare trade fair appearances abroad? Officials representing embassies, regional aluminium associations and corporations as well as tax professionals will provide answers to these and other questions. The lecture programme starts in the morning and concludes with an international reception in the afternoon. Trade fair visitors are welcome to attend the International Forum without prior registration. Admission is free; lectures are held in English. The International Forum is presented in collaboration with the German-Chinese Business Association (DCW) and Prexma Limited. Thanks to their ties with organisations such as the China Aluminium Network, Asia-Pacific Management Consulting and the German-Indian Chamber of Commerce, both partners have access to a great network of experts in both markets.
