The Hanover Fair will be held from 19 to 23 April 2010. As the official promotion organisation for Swiss exports, Osec will once again organize several joint official stands this year, under the colours of the Swiss Pavilion.
Sixteen Swiss companies will be presenting their subcontracting skills in a wide variety of fields at the Swiss Pavilion’s 350-square metre stand in the Industrial Supply sector in hall 4 (previously Subcontracting). Two newcomers will be joining the companies who regularly exhibit their products and technologies at this important trade show, proof that the new guard is ready and well-armed to tackle the future and take advantage of the heralded recovery. We should also point out that the services proposed on the Swiss Pavilion stand are a representative picture of the Swiss subcontracting business.
The different branches of industry all demand highly complex components and manufacturers are constantly on the lookout for new solutions to give parts ever more functionalities. This is where the Swiss subcontractors come into play. Whether discussing casting, stamping or turning, it is surprising to see the complexity of the challenges subcontractors have to face from the different branches and the ingenuity of the solutions they develop. They are first rate partners who really go to great lengths, all the more as the challenge is tough, regardless of the target sector, whether cars, machines, hydraulics, avionics or medical technologies. Nor does it matter to them whether the order involves very small quantities or mass production
There will be twice as many exhibitors presenting their latest discoveries at the second Swiss Pavilion set up by Osec in the Research & Technology (hall 2) sector since last year. This year, the stand has been organized in cooperation with CTI, the agency to promote innovation. The joint stand and its 17 exhibitors specifically help young Swiss companies that are active in research gain access to the world market. As a result, visitors will discover some of the projects from the CTI Start-up programme (technological business incubator) and other innovations from specialized graduate schools and research institutes, including the BioMobile developed by HES-SO Geneva that runs on bio-fuel. They will also see a presentation about the Argovie canton, describing the advantages of this excellent research and industry site.
The Swiss Import Promotion Programme (SIPPO) will also be presented in hall 4. This business promotion programme aims to help SMEs from developing or emerging countries to integrate the business circuit in Switzerland and the European Union. It also helps Swiss importers to better know the products and suppliers in these markets in order to vary their supply sources.
A turnkey solution By participating in the Swiss Pavilion, Swiss companies benefit from a turnkey solution, a well-placed stand, excellent visibility in the media and complete supervision in terms of logistics and personnel by Osec, before and after the Fair.
